| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo How about that 40th Anniversary LP12 - with an included bottle of 40 year-old Scotch! Now for sale here on Agon - $25K! Talk about value pricing! | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes There is NO such thing as "tube" or "transistor" sound! Only a CIRCUIT has a SOUND! The big advantage a solid-state device has over a vacuum tube is that the former is free from aging effects. While the vacuum tube has a finite life-span and degra... | |
| Fedex Customs problem I had no problem with shipping/customs when I bought a used Linn Sondek from a London audio retailer. Ditto for a pair of Quad 57's from another eBay seller in England. Bad luck in your case where you attracted the interest of Customs? | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system 2.5 gms tracking force will not harm your LPs. Get a bottle of Stylast and apply it to the stylus before playing a side. It is a lubricant designed to reduce styli wear and extend life! | |
| Power Conditioner vs A/C cables If you have a neurotic fixation on power cords just get some $90 Pangeas from AA. I assure you they are excellent and very well made. Cost-effective and will not degrade the sound quality of any component! I'd worry about what's coming out of your... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I agree with erik squires! The Snell Type A's are still a world champion speaker even 44 years later. Peter Snell got the "magic" right using three drivers in a sealed box! I have a pair from the original owner! | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system I always like to use SUTs (step-up transformers) in front of phono stages with mc cartridges. Bob's CineMags are good ones! I hear more detail and lower noise floors with them compared to a high-gain active stage. | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Get a Miyajima mc cartridge! A worthy competitor to a Lyra! A Kuzma 4-Point arm would be a significant upgrade too! | |
| Does anyone own the new KLH model 5 speakers? Go for the new KLH Fives! The originals are still fine balanced sounding speakers! I expect the new versions to be the same! | |
| Has Anybody Else Heard These? The various Ohm Walsh speakers are imaging/soundstage champions! They function like a spherical point source. They come closer than any box speaker to being the ideal speaker. I own an older pair of the Sound Cylinders. Bass from the downward-firi... | |

| Please help! My Fender quads reverb isn’t working Check the fuse on the back! | |
| Do no harm to a signal! Does this mean..... "Settling in"? What a lot of BS! | |
| Cables, just as important as a hi end component? When I needed a new pair of speaker cables I bought a 40 foot piece of Q Audio TimeStream (made in Canada).Cut it in half and added Monoprice bananas. Cost $40 + $6 bananas! The TimeStream is a multi-strand helical weave cable. Sounds fine to me! | |
| Cables, just as important as a hi end component? I chose the AQ Silver Extremes because they were offered brand new for $100/pair instead of $500/pair! Otherwise I would never spend $500 on an IC! I am retired and not in the same social class as those who regard spending thousands on ICs and spe... |
