    Re: Any vintage Denon turntable owners here?

    Great news !!!

    Still happy with the same setup. But I must admit my dedication to analog is wavering. I decided to go on a spending spree last November, and buy some new vinyl. Here it is April...

    Re: Any vintage Denon turntable owners here?

    I assume then, this knob controls the arm electronically. If it is a mechanical control a lubricant like WD40 might work better. Just a suggestion.

    Re: Any vintage Denon turntable owners here?

    Sorry I cannot be of service, but my guess is that the setup may be out of kilter. But I honestly never owned a Denon tone arm.

    I am still playing the Denon DP-755 that came sans a tone arm. I...

    Re: Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a 15 ohms

    When I want to hear hifi I play the Falcons with my woofer modules. With bi-amping and the right cabling they respond as a full range floor stander. But when I need to hear music I play them by...

    Jeff Bagby R.I.P.

    Just heard, Jeff Bagby passed away from Covid. My condolences to his family. I communicated with him a number of times and he was more than willing to share his DIY designs. I was a complete stranger...

    Re: Audio Tribbles

    Thanks Kuoppis and CPP. I feel better now. I was thinking about renting a house or air conditioned storage garage. How nuts is that ? Driven from my own home by my audio equipment. Kiss the wife...

    Audio Tribbles

    Been into audio for 52 years now. I have always prided myself with conservative purchases, while saving for my next acquisition. I never spent beyond my audio fund, and had little or no redundant...
  10. Re: Tubed Power Amplifiers. Are the disadvantages too great ?

    Like you Chris, I do too. When I go to audio shows like RMAF, Axpona and now the Florida Expo, I am amazed at how many power amplifiers are super impressive. Soulution, Constellation, Roland, Pass,...
  11. Re: Tubed Power Amplifiers. Are the disadvantages too great ?

    Dan: I can appreciate your love of tubes. I have also lived with tubes for many years. My first being a Bogan PA head amplifier and a 25 watt Lafayette guitar amplifier. My first hifi piece was a...
  12. Re: Tubed Power Amplifiers. Are the disadvantages too great ?

    Dan: You kinda get the feeling I’ve lived with them for quite some time ?

    Re: Why no turntable?

    Sorry I didn’t have the years needed to read this whole thread. I do own a table. When I look at my vinyl collection, I recall all the parties and good times I had 40 years ago. Invariably my...
  14. Re: Tubed Power Amplifiers. Are the disadvantages too great ?

    Just simple ones, like tube degradation, low power, limited ability to handle less than 8 ohm loads, bass overhang, rolled off high frequencies, quality tube availability, high cost of power tubes,...
  15. Tubed Power Amplifiers. Are the disadvantages too great ?

    Had a thought yesterday about tubed power amps. I have many friends who will never consider a solid state power amplifier. I am not one of them. I certainly understand the fluidity and “beauty” of...
  16. Re: Would you abandon your expensive cables if there was a much cheaper alternative?

    Well AJ, I think that just about caps off this topic. What more can be said ?
  17. Re: Would you abandon your expensive cables if there was a much cheaper alternative?

    I assume “cable sceptic” translates to “cable skeptic” in USA lingo. Not being derogatory in any way, just clarifying. I would have preferred being a cable skeptic, as it would have saved me...
  18. Re: Nelson Pass answers a question from Michael B on Steve Guttenberg video!

    Saw that video. Was surprised Nelson said:”That name sounds familiar”, when referring to Mike. No doubt Nelson is one of my hero's in this field of audio. I met him over 30 years ago at Sound by...
  19. Re: Would you abandon your expensive cables if there was a much cheaper alternative?

    Yes, Better is better regardless of cost. At one time my cables were all silver. I loved the liveliness and extension. In time this became tiresome. Presently I have zero silver cables in my rig, I...

    Reference 3a CC LS-II Speaker Cable

    I am interested in this cable for a friend who owns Reference 3a speakers. Does anybody know the price of this cable? Are they sold direct? I would assume they are optimized for their speakers. Any...

    Re: Analysis Plus.

    I have about 75 hours on two pairs of these speaker cables. They are breaking in nicely. They are a nice bread and butter cable. I don’t mean this in a derogatory way. They do it all, without calling...

    Re: Audience AU24 SX Cable Review

    I will state right off, I have never heard the Audience AU24 SX in my system. I have at least three audiophile buddies tell me how good they are. They all upgraded with Audience up to the SX. I did...
