| Tweak or Replace? The Costs and Benefits of DIY Speaker Mods @jtcf - Good suggestion. I hadn't considered doing an actual A/B comparison. Paducah Home Theater is within driving distance - maybe I'll ring up Corey and see if he offers something similar. @sns - Thanks for the input. I realize K-Horns are ... | |
| Headphone amp? You can occasionally find HD800s headphones used, but expect to pay ~$1200 for a complete boxed set in excellent condition. I waited several months for the pair I recently purchased. I run mine with a Quicksilver tube headphone amp and Moon Audi... | |
| Antique Sound Labs To this day, my main amplifier is an ASL MG SI 15 DT integrated (5 wpc triode/15 wpc pentode) that drives a pair of Belle Klipsch horn-loaded speakers (104 db SPL). It's a very capable little unit, and also has the subwoofer out jacks - a necessi... | |
| Your experience with an inexpensive DAC? +1 on the Denafrips Ares II - a hard DAC to beat at it's price point. | |
| Is this Klipsch upgrade worth it? According to these guys, the difference isn't nearly as great as one might expect.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPJevbwL9VU | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? WOWO - Ft. Wayne, Indiana - 1970s. | |
| Klipsch cornwall speakers I'll second both prior posts. I run a 1980s pair of Klipsch Belles with a 15wpc SET and rarely take the volume beyond 10 o'clock. However, I'm still working on "tubing down" a bit of shrillness on some female vocals: Tracy Chapman and Cassandra... | |
| Economical CD Transport - Thoughts? I have no experience with the Audiolab, but the Cambridge CXC is a solid performer for the money. I have one - no complaints. If you play your cards right, you can snag a refurbished unit directly from CA on eBay at a discount (for factory refur... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers @prof When you're able, please do share your impressions of the Townshend bars.I currently have a set in transit - and would welcome others' experiences.Since I can't afford new speakers - I'm challenged with extracting every last ounce of synergy... | |
| Audio Envy O’nestian 3:4 vs DH Labs Revelation Interconnects My experience mirrors your own. Audio Envy has become my personal go-to for high quality, reasonably priced audio cabling: Like you, I have a pair of the O’nestian 3:4 (balanced) - as well as a pair of the Studio Prestige (RCA) interconnects and... | |
| Budget External DAC Recommendations The Denafrips Ares II is very good DAC for the money - but you'll be hard-pressed to snag a used one for $400-500, IMHO.I can't comment on the others.Terry | |
| Klipsch Chorus 2 near Nashville?? No, I didn't have a change of heart. For reasons unbeknownst to me, the Audiogon moderator deleted my prior post. | |
| Transport needed ! As several folks have mentioned, the Cambridge CXC is a solid performer and excellent value. I picked up a CXC V2 refurbished unit from eBay - and haven't looked back. My biggest beef is that they discontinued the black faceplate. (Also, if you ... | |
| klipshorn speakers Excellent speakers - but you may wish to Google their dimensions before giving your blessing. :o) | |
| Puritan PSM156 Given my budget - and the demands of my current system (somewhat modest, by audiophile standards) - I opted for the Puritan PSM136 and couldn't be happier. Granted, this is after going from NO power conditioner, but I really try to restrict my pu... |
