Allnic L-6500 Preamp
Hello Starboard! I have one and love it. Totally quiet and to my ears does not add any color to our music. The soundstage is wide and deep. In my case I could hear a marked difference from my prior Preamp (a Lexicon) since I went from a digital ... 
Dual speaker system
@elliottbnewcombjr that is true BUT there are so many other things in a listening space that impact the frequency response and overall sound of the room/speaker that a couple of small woofers don't really make a discernible (or measurable impact).... 
Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners?
@mofimadness wow!!!!!!!!!!!  I remember melting the crossovers after playing them for hours at high volume listening to Rush and Saga. @stephens770 I read about someone trying it with mixed results.   If someone knows of some Beta, Delta/Gamma n...

Modifying Crossovers
thanks!  
Why are so many Infinity IRS beta systems for sale the past year ?

Modifying Crossovers
Interesting discussion.  I am pondering updating the crossover components on my IRS Beta. They are original except that I have "re glued" some of the components that fell off.  Odd that they used what seems to be glue gun adhesive and then hung co... 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
I still use and love my IRS Beta  
Recommendations for a vacum tube tester

Recommend A New DAC Between $1000 and $2000
