| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I read this thread in disbelief. Disbelief that some think Tekton did this horrific thing to the OP. Seriously? He offered to exchange the speakers. Good grief.Now a while back I read in these forums that someone paid some $5000.00 for an Art Audi... | |
| Tandberg 3004 cassette My Nak Dragon sat for around the same amount of time unused. When I decided a few years ago to start using it again I sent it off to Willie Herman, Nak repair guru, to have it checked out. He responded saying it looked and played like new and only... | |
| McIntosh MC-275, MX-110 preamp and La Scala's?? Congratulations on your match made in heaven.At one time I ran a Baldwin (converted organ amp) built by Will Vincent driving my Klipschorns and I have to say that I preferred that amp over some VERY expensive others I had come and go. Some food fo... | |
| Should I finish my basement Setting aside visits from assessors or whom ever, more importantly is the issue of not pulling a building permit, the work not being up to code, and someone gets hurt........ or worse. You will have a much bigger problem than you ever imagined. If... | |
| Should I finish my basement Yogiboy brings up a valid point. Most towns have codes in place for turning a basement into habitable space. There might be more work involved than you care to do in order to make it conform. | |
| Stax ear phone pad Al,or anyone else that might know more than I do about tape deck connections.Just had a crazy thought, not sure this will work.The Stax has connections for input & output- 1. And also has a 2nd set of inputs labeled input 2My pre amp has one t... | |
| Stax ear phone pad Tonykay, thanks for bringing that to my attention. The headphones are the SR-404's. I see I messed up the heading too, should have said foam, not pad.Looking forward to setting this up and listening. | |
| Stax hook up question Tonykay, I had a pair of entry level Stax about 25 years ago, SRD5 & SR3 maybe? I remember that the sound was just incredible! I missed them very much. Al, yes I do plan to use them for listening to my tape decks as well as my other sources. A... | |
| Stax hook up question Swampwalker, I'm not sure either. Looking at the back of the SRM-006t, it has RCA connections for 1-in & out, and a second set for "in". | |
| Audiogon suggestion box Agree with the above posts- if you want it, and the asking price is reasonable, just buy it at asking price. As for feedback, I don't think it should be exchanged unless there is a transaction. In this case either he (or she) was too busy or didn'... | |
| My New Large Advents Those were my first pair of (shall I call them high end?) speakers that got me hooked on this crazy hobby back in the 70's. Hooked them up with some Dynaco gear and an AR turntable, life was good.I'll never forget that wonderful sound they produced. | |
| Recommendation on speakers with bass adjustibility You should take a look at the Zu Definition IV. Actually a down firing sub woofer built into the speaker with it's own fully adjustable amp. About 1/2 what your cost limit is but worth a listen. I had mine set up in a room a bit larger than yours ... | |
| Your audio rack and laminate floating floors Lak, I'm sure there is going to be a (big?) difference between a nailed down floor and a floating type. I did get the coupling disks from Robert at Star Sound as I have his Audio Points under my speakers. Not sure how they'll work with the Steve B... | |
| Best cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster Signature Another vote for the Dynavector XX2mk2. I use it on my Aries 1. Great synergy. I could also recommend the Benz line. I had the Ruby 3 prior to my Dyna but decided to go for a cartridge with the needle out front were it's easier to align (with thes... | |
| Condition of speakers I wouldn't expect "mint" condition speakers, or any other component for that matter, to be all scratched up here on Audiogon. Even if it was the bottom. There are higher standards here. |
