| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? I think it's because audio sales people don't wanna spend all the time necessary to sell tube gear. From what I can read above, tube is preferable but too much of a hassle to take care of, which really isn't true. Fast food commodity is what sol... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? I use iso acoustic footers for my subwoofer feet which makes a lot of sense since it vibrates things on tables, the feet absorption helps quite a bit. | |
| Baffled by Pricing Strategy Scared to death to buy anything used? It may work out but what if it doesn’t. Keep in mind anything you buy retail immediately gets marked down 50% when you trade it in. Maybe you’ll get a little bit more selling it on your own used. Solid-state ... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? Is there any problem if I use casters on my amp stands? I never understood how people move their amplifiers without casters. | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? Interesting comments about the vtl Monster tube amplifiers above. vtl website has an interesting few paragraphs about tubes that may be of interest https://www.vtl.com/technology/why-tubes/ | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? @fleschler Awesome info above. I saw your details, incredible wall paneling in your listening room. Would be cool to see an updated system. | |
| Magico's M9 If only they had a influencer like Jay who offered technical expertise. And maybe some critical commentary comparing gear. This would be a GameChanger. No one really does this very well. Do any of these influencers really make much money? Or is i... | |
| Magico's M9 Jay’s audio puts forward all this extremely expensive gear and doesn’t really talk about it. What makes it so great? He doesn’t seem to have any technical expertise or willingness to share it. The continual sound comparisons and teasing is difficu... | |
| McIntosh MC 901 vs MC 3500 Mk2 Thanks for responding. I'm trying to figure out the benefit of upgrading from McIntosh 600 W monos (611) to 901. Basically layering a 2301 300 watt mac amp on top of a 611 for biamp purposes. All this to support a b&w 802 D3. the 3500 is ... | |
| A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components. Just last week I asked for information about crossovers from B&w, they would not share any details with me except for the crossover point. So no one has any idea what's in speakers these days. It's all cheap crap and it's horrifyi… I would'... | |
| McIntosh MC 901 vs MC 3500 Mk2 I'm curious to know how things are going and your contemplation of a 901, which I'm looking at. | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops The marketing of products is horrible. No good explanation of what the products do and why. Most of the salesman, and there are exceptions, don’t understand the products they are selling. If you’re able to read product descriptions and understand ... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? What my tiny little mind his learned from all this herein is that amplifiers are really really important to sound quality. The comment above from @yxcbandit about more amperage improving control over drivers, if true, and I believe it probably i... | |
| Final? ARC Chapter... Feel sorry for the employees who may be laid off. Shame they haven’t done a press release to explain it all. To me that speaks to liquidation and salvation of whatever’s left. Strange that all the creditors got paid off don’t understand that. A... |
