| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @calvinj I know that we met a couple of years ago. I am trying to understand why you let what other people think of equipment or how much others spend on it impact you in any way. If you do, that's on you and you need to look within and understa... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Why are you so triggered by what others say or think? And so much so that you have to repeat the topic over and over. As you say, we are all grown men, so grow up and get over it. YOU are the only one in control of how you react to what others say... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? https://gr-research.com/driver-burn-in-facts/ Danny Richie includes multiple measurements of drivers at differing states of burn in / use. This article would certainly support that drivers do "burn in" over time. | |
| Can you touch the tubes? I heard that licking the tubes will give you deeper sound stage, and better channel separation! but you can only lick them counterclockwise Ahhhh!!! A man of experience. Lick one tube and you're a tube licker for life. You and @tubebuffer must... | |
| pricing Classe SSP 25 (Esoteric DV50S) A review of sold DV-50s on HiFi Shark shows them going from between $800 and $1200. and the Classe between $300 and $600. Having sold a DV-50s within the last couple of years, those sale prices are in line with reality for what you can expect to g... | |
| Integrated Question Don't spend a penny on new equipment or cables until you have verified your set up is not the problem. It could be as simple as the speakers, subs, or your listening seat are in a null. It could be that there are phase issues between the mains a... | |
| Legacy Audio I-V2 anyone? I owned an iV-4 Ultra and an iV-2 to tri-amp a custom pair of Signature SE using their Wavelet 2 processor. The amps are uncolored and very powerful. I moved up to a pair of internally tri-amped Aeris. Had I stayed with the Signatures, I would hav... | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE Bi-Amp or Not Bi-Amp Sounds like you need a line attenuator for the Peachtree amp to balance the outputs. https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0C9G This would be an inexpensive way to try it out. The pre out of your Luxman would need to be converted to... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? I respond to every offer I receive. If I find the offer really low, I will just say "No, thanks for your interest." If they are really interested, they will make a better offer. Negotiation can start from there. I have made more than one sale that... | |
| Fun With Cable Risers using risers simply doesn't hurt anything. Worst case scenario, your cables are better organized. Bingo. Having a bit of OCD, I like things organized and looking a certain way. I spent next to nothing on them and they accomplish what I want t... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? It is really difficult to believe anyone would send him any money. He has gone out of business twice and stiffed people each time. How many times do people need to be fooled to understand not to do business with him? | |
| Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers Tekton has been going long enough and Stereophile has never reviewed any. Stereophile has reviewed the Enzo XL and the Impact monitor. | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? My experience with buying and selling is that items that have original packaging make the market broader and in general garner a higher price and sell quicker. Many buyers won't consider buying without it. It is not because material is not availab... | |
| Børresen M3 vs. CSS (Jay Iyagi) vs. Wavetouch The Wavetouch compared to the original file did not sound alike. The Wavetouch sounded like a 12 year old boy before puberty. The original file sounded like a 30 year old man that has actual bass in his voice. If threadbare and thin is natural sou... | |
