| REL Classic 99 Sub “Paper specs on some levels are meaningless” @tablejockey Exactly! I used to own a pair of B1’s in cherry finish..I should have hung on to them. | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State @noromance I wasn’t impressed by Allnic H-6500. Surprisingly, my phono board in Accuphase Integrated sounded just as good as H-6500. Not sure, how much better H-7000 would be. Another observation, Allnic seems to have a very poor resale which so... | |
| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? “It’s interesting that the one who brought up the ’distracting’ pricing issue was the OP himself, right from the very beginning.” Exactly! Not sure why OP cares so much about US pricing living in Canada 🙄 | |
| REL Classic 99 Sub Looks like no one here made a move to Classic 99. I am going to pick a pair in upcoming weeks! | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! “And those who have treated their room keep saying this to the masses, but we understand it is definitely not as exciting or as sexy as shiny new components. ” @mclinnguy LOL! I can say unequivocally, that shiny new component will sound heck ... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! “I think I will go with about 4 of the Gotham N23 diffusers in the center of the wall. And flank them with 4 (2 on each side of the wall) Q7Ds. Pretty pricey, so maybe I will look for used ones if I can find them” @arafiq I love the direction y... | |
| PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common? @krelldog As you know, IRS requires documentation. If you bought an amp for $2500 and sold it for $2K then you shouldn’t pay any tax cause you actually took a loss. I keep records of all transactions upto 5 years. I prepare an excel spreadsheet ... | |
| PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common? “If F&F makes anyone uncomfortable it’s really simple, dont buy from those sellers requesting it. ” I am curious, all those opposing F&F option, would you be willing to pay PayPal fee? | |
| PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common? “It seems like buyers demand around a 20% discount to take on the added risk of F&F. ” I have not experienced that at all…my last 12 transactions on USAM, all F&F ranging between $16K - $150. I have sold items within 95% of my asking pric... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? As far Integrated goes, I was very impressed by Margules I-240 when I heard the demo at AXPONA 2024. Class A - 25wpc, with some NOS 12AU7 tubes, it has a potential of very nice intimate sound; worthy consideration for any midsize room. | |
| ??? Fuse UpGrade??What Size??? As per 240i manual, page 25; you need a large AG Size (6.3x32mm) Fast Blow - 4 Amp fuse. | |
| Is There A Better Solution? For streaming music and TV watching, I switched to SONOS surround bar + sub years ago. I couldn’t be any happier. Two of my TV rooms are setup with ARC surround bar and a sub. Just give it a listen and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with sound and... | |
| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? Entry Level is a subjective term. IME, every model in a brand lineup has that ‘house’ sound. Generally speaking, when you move up in the line, you get more of everything due to more freedom with implementation and parts selection. I own a Accuphas... | |
| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? “BTW Accuphase pricing in Canada is significantly better than in the US” FYI - US Pricing is now on par with Canadian market. This was rectified as of late last year. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @mdalton Plinth - Same source as yours :-) As far as SUT, very likely EMIA as a test case and then I will decide between Hashimoto or Etsuro. I won’t be at CAF but plan on going to AXPONA 2025. |
