| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? The only difference between a $200 speaker cable and a $2500 speaker cable is the number of zeroes in the price! | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? From Noel Lee promoting Monster Cable back in the late Seventies to today's Cult of Wire Believers ... with zero hard engineering evidence to back up a company's claims that their product is somehow "better" than the competition! | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) Buy a Crown XLS-1502. 300wpc/8ohms, 525/4ohms, 775/2ohms. Can be found new from.various online sellers for $449.99. Open-box for $350! Why spend more? Sonically competitive with any of today's four-figure amps! | |
| Audiogon Friday Feel Good Story of the Week Direct Bypass on your Sonata Pro-10 means that the signal bypasses the gain stage and goes only through the volume pot. My PS Audio IV preamp has the same option. It lets you use the volume control higher up (where it is more linear) when connecte... | |
| Should Class A Amps be left on?? My Sumo Andromeda (another James Bongiorno design like his Nine) is Class A for the first 15 watts. Then it goes to Class B for 200 wpc! It still sounds excellent at the higher power range - a mark of an excellent design! I turn it off at day's end! | |
| Should Class A Amps be left on?? @unsound : you are correct! A true Class A amp (like a Bedini 25/25) will get quite hot by 30 minutes after turn-on. Playing music for an hour will then lower its temperature significantly as the speaker load absorbs current. That is the mark of a... | |
| Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers? Rogers LS3/5A - A classic design and still highly coveted worldwide! Now typically selling for around $2K+. I was lucky and got mine for $960! | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... A biblical scholar translating an ancient Hebrew text would be far more believable than any of these wire pundits! | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... All we get so far are the wise sages listening to their wires and acting like the four blind men and an elephant! | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... If wire had directionality to audio signals somebody would already have invented a device to measure and quantify it! So where's this device? | |
| BW 800 D3 Floor Speakers Why limit yourself to monoblocs? My go-to amp for "heavy lifting" is my Perreaux 2150B. 340wpc/8ohms, 680wpc/4ohms,920wpc/2ohms. I paid around $900 for mine! Sonically as good as any of today's four-figure amps! | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... oldhvmec: your posts are getting real tiresome! | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? They are heavy arms best used with low-compliance cartridges. Their offset angles are incorrect - more twisting of the cartridge in the headshell is required! | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? States now want sales tax on 'Net purchases sent to each state. The noose is tightening! | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... People with vested interests (manufacturers and customers) have a stake in maintaining their claims that cable A is sonically "better" than cable B - without the validity of proper A/B tests. Like religion their beliefs/claims are entirely fsith-b... |
