| Still happily using vintage gear? Right outside this room are a pair of nicely restored Dahlquist DQ-10's bought from a nearby seller for $375 - including black grill cloth and custom stands! Not yet in use - lack of space! Outside the doorway are a pair of Rogers LS3/5A's 11 ohms... | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? Instead I will post what I am presently using out of the piles of HiFi gear at hand. From where I'm sitting I have the DCM Time Windows 1A (52779, 52780) driven by a Sumo Andromeda amp connected to an RGR 4 preamp. Signal sources are: Ariston RD11... | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? I removed my three posts because I don't want to be seen as a braggart! Suffice to say that I own enough old gear - and guitars! - to fill a store. | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable So hartwell do you have some t-shirts saying "SHUNYATA" with their logo? | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable Remember that all these cable/wire companies want your money and they will say anything within legal boundaries to entice you to open your wallets! Call me suspicious, particularly when I read words like "quantum tunneling", "cryogenic processing"... | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable I am not going to delete my post above even if I seem like an atheist in a bible study group! In fact I have been buying and trying wire in my various HiFi systems since the late 70's! Interconnects and speaker wire. My favorites were the Verion T... | |
| Linn Sondek- Origin Live upgrades anyone? @daveyf : It's an early 80's LP12 with a Grace 707/Denon 103D. In fact my second one! Bought from an eBay seller in Britain a few years ago. My first one was a few years younger (late 70's) and it too had a Grace 707 arm with a Grado G1. So both L... | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable Show me some engineering data that proves the superiority of cable A over cable B! Otherwise "golden ear" claims are just whistlin' Dixie! Ditto for manufacturer claims! They want your money! | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable +1 turnbrown! Good advice! Why spend big bucks on a new pair and have to try to sell a damaged pair! I am sure Tara Labs can easily handle a broken connector repair. | |
| Linn Sondek- Origin Live upgrades anyone? The LP12 was popular among the cognoscenti of the late 70's because right out of the carton it did NO harm to the music - and it cost a mere $450! Two compelling reasons to own one! Yes, Ivor Tieffenbraun found a way to extract money from the obse... | |
| Tang Band 2145 in action Hey mozartfan - why don’t you check out those new Altec 755 8" drivers that an eBay seller has for around $300 each? Yes they are reproductions but with new higher efficiency magnets! I assume they will be over 90db sensitivity. They look impressi... | |
| FZ documentary a winner Nice to hear of this! Thank you russellrcncom! Frank Zappa was certainly an iconaclast in the music business who left us all too soon! | |
| Audio: what took so long ? +1 audition_audio! There was high-quality audio in the Fifties! MacIntosh, Marantz, Fisher, Scott, Altec, JBL, Klipsch, Quad, Harmon Kardon, Empire, Shure, Stanton, Grado, Thorens, Garrard, SME ... more! | |
| Harmon Kardon Citation XX No I haven’t! But HK has a solid reputation going back to the old tube days when Stewart Hegeman worked for them. | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Oh the follies of the wealthy! |
