| KT 150 Amp Options @hamburger A Rogers ehf200 mk 2 would be perfect for someone new to tubes, as it is cathode biased and requires no user adjustment, and it sounds great. I showed a picture of it to our receptionist, who exclaimed, “Wow! It’s beautiful!” Never ... | |
| Long live Rock? 2022 R&R HOF Obviously KISS is pathetic musically, I personally can't listen to it, but that was never the standard for R&RHoF. They did revolutionize the "show" part of the equation, and deserve recognition for their achievement and vast influence. Dolly... | |
| Buyer Dispute What ridiculous answers, biased in favor of Sellers. The buyer is the injured party here. Seller did not deliver a working product; it was defective. btw, Buyer’s supposed acceptance of a changed deal was without consideration; it is not an ... | |
| What is the best time of year to sell used gear? thanks, all. I'm getting to work listing things. I should sell first, then upgrade, but... | |
| Transmission line speakers! All PMC speakers use transmission line designs. Consequently, they seem to produce more and better bass than comparably sized speakers using other designs. I really like my PMC Fb1i Signature speakers. The only real knock on them I’ve eve... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy Why do you need to move the amp around so much? | |
| How to tame a bright system? This was as close to Unanimous advice as I have ever seen on Audiogon, a clear majority identified the culprit right away. Yet OP defends the sound of his overly bright B&W speakers, which he “tested”? Then at home he heard what those speaker... | |

I am grateful to have heard all the great ... | |
| Cost to keep equipment running / on Fuzztone, thanks. Ordered one. Will be good to know the draw of each component. The total running electrical cost from my gear, plus the a/c costs of cooling down the heat from from c. 25 tubes, costs me c. $100-150/ mo. In Texas. Of course,... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? I don't miss tube tv's. Size, weight, heat, reliability, low resolution. TV's could be a lot better. I had a Sony Qualia 46" LED that was c. $15K new. Discontinued because it cost so much to make them, I don't think it was profitable. S... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? You didn’t specify your budget! I can’t believe all these people made recommendations without that info. It matters because up to a certain level, you’d be better off with an integrated vs. separate power and pre. An integrated will compromise ... | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . It’s about learning how to “read.” I think everyone here has learned to skip over posts from certain people. And always carefully read posts from some others. When a post begins like, “I’ve never heard the two components you ask about, b... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @ fuzztonethis year, you should have said... Yankees... no playoff | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? The Quicksilver amps look relatively easy to upgrade, e.g. better caps, being wired point-to-point and more classic than exotic; anyone doing that? | |
