| New level of ridiculousness Then there's the cost of my cell phone bills that exceed the cost of leasing 2 brand new Honda Civics. OK, I have a 4 phone account, but still, really.Sorry for getting off topic of audio, but cell phone costs really bug the sh*t out of me. | |
| Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity Duke mentions vintage Klipsch, and I can back that up. I had a pair of Klipshorns for almost 25 years. I pulled the woofers out (they are enclosed inside the cabinet) for inspection prior to selling them and much to my surprise, they looked brand ... | |
| how to reduce noise through JMW10 Agree that the table sitting on granite is where your problem is. My set up is very similar to yours (table, arm and a Benz cart) and I can pound on the table all day long with no issues at all. | |
| The most dynamic speaker you've heard... Gopher,LOL, I just woke up and read your post. At first glance I thought I somehow re posted my response from above. | |
| The most dynamic speaker you've heard... I had about a dozen or so speakers come and go here and the Klipshorn was by far the most dynamic. My Zu's are next. | |
| Klipschorns as mains and HT subs??? Agree with Mechans. As a past owner of the Khorn I can tell you that they do not put out a lot of bass. And I did have them sealed well into my corners. I actually had a sub woofer in my system when I had the Khorns. | |
| Sealed vs. Ported Speakers One thing I noticed when I had a pair of ported speakers was the extreme "woofer pumping" during analog playback. I know this can have a lot to do with cartridge/arm matching and isolation issues, but this wasn't as evident with my sealed box spea... | |
| Repair of Cayin HA-2 tube headphone amp Hayw,Have you checked the tubes? If you don't have spares I would first get some and swap them out before sending the amp in for repairs. | |
| Packaging Services Agree with the above posters that I too would not consider shipping speakers unless you can take a hit. You have 100% responsibility that the speakers arrive undamaged, and will have to take them back and issue a refund to the buyer if damaged by ... | |
| King of the one liners We had a neighbor couple over and the Viagra commercial came on TV. When the warning "See your doctor if your erection lasts for more than 4 hours"his wife said "Forget the doctor, come see me" | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No "Tubes can rock HARD (as mine do), you simply need the right amp/speaker match."Yup.Tubes rock with Zu Definition speakers too. And Klipshorns that I had as well. I could probably use a few more watts for my Zu's but 6 watts was plenty for 104 db ... | |
| Can I find out the output impedance of my amp? Al,"And if, as I suspect, what you are trying to accomplish is to verify that the output tap has not been customized to work into a load that differs from 8 ohms,..."Yes, you are correct. Not even sure how it left the distributor when new. Thanks ... | |
| Best Customer Service IMO, ARC is not the same since Leonard retired. | |
| Need a heavy duty receptacle Very useful information here. Never really thought about supporting the heavy cables from stressing the components or the isolation platforms. I'll get to work on this. Thanks guys. | |
| Need a heavy duty receptacle Apology accepted. |
