| REL .LFE input I don’t know the answer to your Speakon dilemma, but I do believe it is inadvisable to use a Y adapter from stereo pre-out to LFE in, nor would I connect one channel. The correct solution is a buffered summing circuit, but you’re going to have to ... | |
| Coax Often the gold outer part is just press fit onto the Jack pack. You really need to twist as you try to remove “high retention” audiophile RCA plugs…thanks, Noel Lee! If you can remove the part from your RCA plug without deforming it, you will see ... | |
| Going from MM to MC As a fellow PhonoBox DS3 owner, I want to mention that the balanced inputs only work with LOMC cartridges, so if the OP is getting dual XLR phono cables, a high end MM or MI is not a good choice! | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! As an employee of such a store I can tell you that the vast variety of merchandise and easy access to information and opinions about it on the internet, and the ease with which consumers can cross shop, or worse, "showroom*" has made running a B&a... | |
| A blowing session???? I never developed the ear for the saxophonist’s individuality as you describe it, but I do have that ear for the electric guitar masters…Clapton, Beck, Page, Green, Bloomfield or Hendrix…a few notes is all it takes. Same for Harmonica players. Co... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system I think the biggest return on additional investment will come from getting speakers with an entirely different approach to sound presentation, like an omnidirectional speaker or dipole, but only if your new residence accomodates such a speaker. Y... | |
| Accuphase Bookshelf Speaker Pairing recommend For compact speakers, look closely at the Dynaudio or Totem models at or near your budget. Hard to beat these brands at the 5.25” 2 way game! Bison monitors with a 30 day trial may just do it. Great amp, btw. Enjoy. note: placement is of great im... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range The Grace 707 arm is a low mass masterpiece, and you are better off with an appropriately compliant MM cart. Find a Grace F9 body and buy a Soundsmith Ruby stylus for it. A tube hybrid phono stage like the Black Ice Audio F159, or even The budg... | |
| Amp first approach to build a system. Anyone did it ? To paraphrase J. Geils vocalist Peter Wolf “First I look at the room”. Then speakers. Then….. | |
| SACD is VERY confusing Roy, Some SACD players’ analog outputs were not cheap. Sony as usual launched the format with a no holds barred implementation at a hefty price, and over a few years brought it down to Earth, with attendant compromises. HDMI 1.2a introduced DSD ... | |
| magnepan They are absolutely positively NOT out of business. They just introduced a new True-ribbon model at $5995.00 called the 2.7i to plug the gap between the Quasi-ribbon 1.7i and larger True-ribbon 3.7i. As others have stated, their long time product... | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge To address the tiny nuts issue, you can buy a new headshell with the cartridge and have the seller pre mount it. They can probably align it for the Technics too. | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college Like Dino and rbertalotto above, I suggest going cheap. A Fosi BT120A has Bluetooth and ample power output to drive speakers to dorm room levels. Give him a household chore to complete so he earned it himself. For speakers, Find a good used pai... | |
| Going to replace my Fluance rt85 Generally, why is the Technics SL1200G given more mention than the SL100C, which is $1099.00 vs $1799.00? They seem to have almost identical motors, arms and performance. The 1200 has DJ features most of us here are not in need of. OP can get a... | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? I use Cardas Headphone cables on my Sennheiser HD660S and really appreciated the improvement over the stock cable. Their Parsec IC should be of interest. |
