| Suggestions for an amp I own an Anthem MRX710. I picked it up for $900.00 It is SWEET. It delivers more detail than I had hoped for. Look for one! Good luck Joe | |
| Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade. I've bought and sold three sets of Snell Type B's due to sellers remorse. Speakers, especially large ones, are the most difficult of all components to sell (and sometimes replace). | |
| Highest detail cartridges There was a PBS program about the Library of Congress called "Save Our Sounds" (I have it on video tape). They look at each LP through a microscope and determine what type or shape the original cutting stylus was. They use the same shape playback ... | |
| What is this odd little box I've been storing for years? It's a gonkulator and as you know, WE make the best gonkulators. | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 One thumbs up for Monitor Audio is the fact that they have been around a long time. Once a speaker manufacturer goes under, their product TUMBLES in price AND it can happen to anyone! (Wanna buy some Snell Type A 5's?). Joe | |
| What is this odd little box I've been storing for years? My first thought was "maybe it's part of something like the B&W bassalignment filter". Look at one. Joe | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS LTL shipping can be a nightmare in itself! A stereo shop in Florida thought they would do me a favor when I bought a set of B&W subwoofers, They put the subs in a large box with a minimum of packing. They obviously thought that the subs would... | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS It seems that all carriers have tightened their purse strings these days. I think it's necessary to well over pack all fragile items. I sent out a JVC video projector this year. I think the overall size of the box was three times larger than the p... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre! I always touch my metal equipment rack. It does the job of grounding. I also use a PS Audio line conditioner. It keeps things like stray voltages at bay. Joe | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Nothing in this hobby looses value like speakers! That's great if your looking to buy. In many cases top notch speakers sell for less than 20% of the original retail price. Look around. There's deals a plenty. Good luck Joe | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? I have a Pass Labs XP20 that I picked up for $4200.00 The best I've ever owned! Joe | |
| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? How do you know if your caps are bad? I assume visible leakage would be a clue. What if they look OK? I have a set of Snell Type A V5's. Kevin Voecks went crazy with large outboard passive crossovers. They were built in 1996. It seems to me that s... | |
| Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs I know the secret as to how this guys "system" works. All of the ambient light is reflecting off of his jacket onto the record surface and obliterating all of the dust and dirt. Genius! He better hurry up and patent the idea before I do. Joe | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. I've always thought of producing music and reproducing music as two entirely different things. The later being much more difficult. In the studio, you're in control of the signal from step one. At home we need to assume and attempt to recreate you... | |
