| Is the NAD 3020 the best value of all time? The NAD is definitely up there.However, my vote goes to the Dynaco ST70. | |
| good used speaker If you ever come across a pair of Fried A/6, buy them on the spot. To my ear, they exceed just about anything in the $2500 and under category these days, and compete with most up to about $5000. | |
| Which speakers are higher efficiency? Drinking from the label is usually a recipe for disappointment.Despite the specs, this isn't a difficult question to answer, as the two speakers being compared here have different characteristics in terms of what they interface with best in terms ... | |
| I always do something stupid... Not seeing the allen bolt inside a common six - sided nut that Magnepan uses on their binding posts, I took a nut driver to try to tighten down my loudspeaker cables. Came off right in my hand in about 1 second.As my boss's boss's boss told me whe... | |
| Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile? Klipsch Heritage speakers such as the La Scala could be a good option. The cabinets never really made it into the hoity toity hall of fame in terms of beautiful furniture, and would likely even survive attacks from sledge hammers, bows and arrows,... | |
| Hyperion HPS 968 or Coincident Total Victory IV As usual, I like what Paul has to say.Along those lines, I'd like to offer some agreement to one particular point he makes, even if the way I will state it will come off as either unorthodox or just plain flaky...One thing that we noticed in playi... | |
| Hyperion HPS 968 or Coincident Total Victory IV Again, Paul definitely knows what he's talking about here. In fact, I think in the myriad iterations of his system, he actually ended up with this permutation (though with the Cyber 845 the first go 'round) twice! And, I hold the opinion of my lat... | |
| EL34s -- your picks for best? For what it's worth, I like the JJ E34L best of current manufacture, and am more than happy with them in my ST70. Surprisingly, though I have far more expensive and highly regarded amplifiers laying around, my Dynaco is providing me the most fun I... | |
| Hyperion HPS 968 or Coincident Total Victory IV My friend, Paul Folbrecht has used the Cyber 211 with Hyperions, and was most pleased with the match. And, Paul is definitely one of the more discerning audiophiles I know.However, as the former importer of Consonance products in North America, I ... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum Hope you're doing well, Denis.I think the percentage of foreign companies without a US repair facility is well over 50%. Based on the experiences I've had in the past few years, I've more or less come to the conclusion that a company not based in ... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum Denis, it's too late now, but FedEX has a box to check for "Repair & Return" when the shipment is created that addresses the absolute hell you're going through now. In addition to checking that whenever I was involved in these situations, I al... | |
| Hi End Pre-Amp shoot out in central jersey? I'd be interested. I have a little preamp I could bring along for comparison. | |
| Jadis with Telefunken 12AX7/ECC83 tubes In my DA30 and DA30, the Teles were OK, but not my favorite. I didn't give them enough time to analyze things in 100% detail, frankly, because I didn't feel the desire to since the sound was not magical in the way some others were.I much prefer 57... | |
| QUAD ESL 2905 / 2805 While I really appreciate this thread from the standpoint of information, I'm more than a bit disheartened to read it.The reason being, I'm getting together with some audio friends tomorrow to visit a couple of local dealerships, with my intent be... | |
| US only sales WHY??? Ironmine, your words and overall demeanor perfectly illustrate one of the many reasons every one of my Audiogon ads clearly states, "USA SALES ONLY!" |
