| Upgrades that met/exceeded your expectations and those that felt short When I bought my KLH Nine full-range electrostats in 1992 I put my Quad 57's aside (in use since 1981). Superior bass and dynamic range, given enough amp power! | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Only if you first apply some KY to the fuse before insertion! | |
| Keeping a Peachtree Nova 300 Cool If you are that worried about reduced life by on/off cycling use the fan and leave it on 24/7. No effect upon SQ! | |
| Keeping a Peachtree Nova 300 Cool No problem with turning the amp off when not in use! Won't affect sound quality - contrary to what the neurotically obsessed will claim! And using a cooling fan will not harm the amp either! | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. If you want to hear a difference between components buy tube gear! | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. +1 emergingsoul! You speak the uncomfortable truth! Expensive high end gear is a case of "the emperor’s new clothes"! | |

| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. Marketing hype and marque fsctor! Same as high-priced SUVs (Mercedes. BMW, Audi ...) | |
| Walter Davies (LAST Factory) has passed away How sad another audio innovator gone! | |
| Sue Kraft Sorry to learn of her passing! I remember her article on the DQ-10's in TAS, among others! They were a favorite of hers! Another perceptive and talented writer gone! | |

| smaller speakers for critical listening? I.have a pair of Rogers LS3/5A's that I bought from an eBay seller in Lithuania for $960 + shipping. At that price how could I resist! A 45+ years old design that still sounds better than most small stand-mounts! Sure, it lacks a bottom octave of ... | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot Now I have an amp in the middle between the KLH Nines and a six-foot piece of RCA 14gauge all-copper zip to each speaker. Still sounds excellent! | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot My nearby HIFi store (remember those?) had a 40-foot piece of Mogami 2477 OFC copper coax 12gauge that was left as a sample by a sales rep. I bought it for $40 and took it home. Cut it in half, stripped the ends, twisted the core strands together,... |
