| Need interconnect suggestions for Meridian 508.24 If you're considering Cardas, you've got to try Ensemble cables, either the Masterflux or the Dynaflux. They are less expensive than top Cardas and often available used on this site for great prices. Many people have left Cardas Golden for Ensembl... | |
| Best Cheap, Small, High Sensitivity Speakers When I posted a similar inquiry last month, I got some excellent recommendations. In addition to the speakers people have already listed above, I also had recommendations for Proac Tablettes, Krix Equinox, Silverline small monitors (they make seve... | |
| Tube Experts -- Help with Retubing AR amp Call Kevin at Upscale Audio for much better prices on all the ARC tubes you will need. He tests for everything ARC does, but go ahead and ask him for a detailed explanation. He sells all kinds of 6550's or KT-88's and of course all kinds of differ... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 compared to 804 The REL's contain explicit instructions for connecting to your system, basically you take their proprietary cable with three colored wires at the amp end and hook the red and black to your right channel + and - and then the yellow to your left cha... | |
| How do i get replacement drivers from Genesis I also was wondering what to do if any of the many drivers in my Genesis 500's need replacing, but Human Speakers supplies parts for another line of speakers by an also-out-of-business speaker manufacturer called Genesis Physics Loudspeakers. I we... | |
| what mid priced cables should i buy? And Dave, you'll do better to list your 901's for sale on eBay. I don't think you will recoup much of your purchase price for them on this site. Count on at least a 50% markdown even on eBay. But even if you end up with only $500 for them, you wil... | |
| Dunlavy out of buisness? Have they joined Genesis and Arnie somewhere on a long vacation? Probably all playing great music through huge, fantastic speakers. I'd love to be on that desert island. I have really been sad to hear about Genesis, one of my favorite companies. A... | |
| Phono stage suggestions? I have the ARC CA-50 running into the Proac Response 1SC's and considered the following phono stages: Camelot Lancelot, EAR tube w/upgrades, and Linn Linto. Winner: Linto. Will work only w/moving coil cartridges. The most silent, purest sound phon... | |
| My first Jazz cd About 10 yrs ago, I decided I wanted to start a jazz collection, and my guide was an article/list in Rolling Stone called "The 100 Essential Jazz Recordings" or something like that. I saved the article, because after buying about half the items on... | |
| FM antennae question I also use a "whip" dipole, the one made by Magnum Dynalab, up on the roof of my house. When we tested various antennae, this one sounded much better and had much better reception than the bigger array-type antenna that we also tried and that I as... | |
| Has anyone heard the Innersound Electrostatic amp? If I'm not mistaken, Audiogoner "Plato" has this amp, because it is pictured in the picture gallery he started on AOL for anyone who wants to post pics of their system and look at pics of others. If you email Plato, I'm sure he will give you lots ... | |
| How hard is it to admit you bought bad gear? I've had a couple of purchases that didn't work out, but the most egregious, meaning I spent WAY too much money with WAY too little satisfaction, was the $13,000 Goldmund amp I bought a few years ago, in the hopes it would be "the last amp" I woul... | |
| foiled again... If the 5.3's sounded good, and you have some room to leave some air behind them in your room, you should go with them! You liked them! It is no harder to get a good sub to integrate w/monitors than w/floorstanders; the RELs, for example, have tons... | |
| Amp w/s Outstanding Midrange FYI, Audio Outlet in Mt. Kisko, NY (Frank and Mike are both very helpful) sells Densen gear, sometimes have demos available at good prices. Website is www.audiooutlet.com.Not affiliated with them, just a very satisfied repeat customer (of other ge... | |
| Tube reliability in amps Hi, I agree w/the posters who mentioned ARC power amps for having long tube life. Both of my ARC amps use 6550's; ARC gives a very conservative estimate of 1500 hrs on these power tubes but I and other owners have found much longer life. My VT100 ... |
