| When Will We Learn? I try to avoid shipping but you can’t always buy locally. I’m in Mass so often times I just go to NH as there is no sales tax. There are a few good dealers that make it worth the trip. Audio Visual Therapy and Fidelis in Nashua are great to deal w... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. I second Quicksilver or Conrad Johnson . CJs are tough to find at a reasonable price though. The preamp is the most important component in your system, choose carefully | |
| HT Receivers Compared Anthem AVRs are very good in my experience. Not going to rival dedicated 2 ch gear but they do sound really good. | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? It should be available at any motorcycle dealer. It is popular for plexi windshields | |
| Bad Tube? Stop using that tube immediately! Not worth taking out a bias resistor. | |
| Mcintosh amp suggestion Pass-through is a great feature. I incorporated my Dad's Anthem AVR into his MA8950 Integrated Amp and it is seemless. | |
| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. It has to sound like live music. Beautiful tone. Wide dynamic range and ability to scale. Elastic quality , fluid. Is that asking too much? | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? fthompson251 is doing it right .... with speakers AND electronics designed with bi-amplification in mind. If your gear isn't then it's probably a wasted effort | |
| Home network Fibre optic vs Ethernet I would also run both. I use a ethernet switch with SFP fiber ports and a media converter to isolate my Aurender in my main room. In my second system I use a pair of media converters to isolate my Vault 2i. I also don't think you hear a di... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Totally agree with Mike L. He's dead on. Waste of money for most people because seldom is it done correctly. It's expensive to do right and the complexity just isn't worth it in most systems. Upgrade the speakers or amplification for real... | |
| Product: Sonus Faber Concertino Domus Bookshelf Speakers; w/ Stands Hard to get a speaker that nice new, used , from any mfg for what you paid. I second Yogi, next time you need pricing check HiFI Shark | |
| Product: Sonus Faber Concertino Domus Bookshelf Speakers; w/ Stands I think you did ok too. I am using a pair of 22 year old Concerto and they still look and sound great. Buying those back then was like spending $3400 today. Enjoy , those are great speakers. | |
| Spl elector and Sugden SPA-4 Tape monitor on by accident ? | |
| Spl elector and Sugden SPA-4 Some gear with pro roots use a different XLR pin out than consumer XLR. I would confirm pin out of each first. Do they each have RCA you can try ? I am assuming former pre still works if you swap? | |
| Zesto Andros II with ESP vs Modwright PH 9.0 XT? I had a Zesto Leto Preamp. I sent it to George for new tube sockets and the ESP upgrade while it was there . I bought it as a demo and believe someone whacked a tube laterally, damaging a socket. I can't say enough about my experience with... |
