Anyone have any experience with these monoblocks? The reviews are all over the place, so I don't know if they are nice, and have potential, or if they sound terrible, and can not be upgraded. I know I already have the finest amp in the world, but just curious if Bob created anything close to the...

I have been using the Sherwood Newcastle P-965 for years, and love it for home theater but with the latest Dolby ATMOS, and other formats, along with the new 4K technology, I think I may be missing something. What is everyone using? I see a lot of discussion of the Anthem AVM 60, and a few...

As I'm waiting for the Acurus RL-11 to arrive, I've been researching phono stages. I have looked at a lot of them and am interested in buying the Parasound Zphono. I've read all the reviews, and can find nothing really negative about this piece of gear other than someone who has changed the...

$1500 buys a nice looking set of Klipschorns. I saw them on the bay and thought I'd pass the information along. They would be a nice set for anyone looking...

For those of us who have not yet taken the plunge to the MC side, what step up transformers are you using? I've been reading a lot but don't know what is the best value transformer. Cinemag seem to get a lot of good reviews, as do the Lundahl trannies. I also see some Denon AU models...

What tonearm would be appropriate for a Thorens TD-121 or TD-124? I've been looking at SME 3009, Saec 308, and a few others. There have to be a few tonearms that don't cost an absolute fortune like a Victor or Stax or something... I currently am using a Basis branded Rega arm, but would like...

I got the itch to upgrade my turntable and went on the hunt. I found this on Audio Asylum and although it is not a TD-124, it is the TD-121. It is suppose to be the little brother of the famous Thorens. It has one speed...33 1/3, but can be changed if you need another speed. It has a Rega...

I recently pulled out a Philips CDR880 that I bought years ago and ordered a few CD-R Digital Audio discs to see if they would be compatible with my machine...and YES the Spin'X CD-R discs do work.... My question is, what is the BEST method for getting audio onto the discs? There are tons of...

I do not want to start a war here, but does anyone have recommendations for speaker wire, or cable? I have always been in the "wire is wire" camp, but setting up the KHorns, I want to use something relatively good. I am thinking thicker is better. I have typically used a 14/4 wire, with 2...

Is the Onix CD player at the top of the heap in terms of sound quality? How does it compare to other top of the line Universal Players, like the Oppo BDP-95 or 105? What represents the sweet spot for digital sources. I think that perhaps a thousand dollar Oppo might be overkill if you can get...

I know Joe posted a recommendation on the best tuner...and I had it bookmarked, but now have lost it. What was the model number? I have a fellow audio nut who has asked what "the best tuner" might be... Any recommendations appreciated...

I've recently been trying out various music streaming services, and right now I'm using Google Play's service which is going to be $9.99 a month after the free 30 day trial. Question is, what is the best service? Do any of the streaming services have better sound quality than any others? Play...

What does everyone here use for AV premp- processor duty? I have a Sherwood Newcastle P-965 which I have been using for a long time, but I don't want to miss having something that might be much better. There are tons of used pre/pros out there, like Emotive, Lexicon, PreSonus, Marantz that...

I got this amp several years ago, but never really paid much attention to it. Now I am beginning g to wonder if this was factory, or not. The FAN switch looks factory to me.....and the LED's are pretty well done as well./... Sorry the pictures are upside down and sideways and stuff...

I promised I would start thread to memorialize the restoration of a pair of OLD La Scalas. I bought the cabinets from a guy through eBay for about a hundred dollars...also happened to be in St. Augustine Florida....and the cabs were in Jacksonville. It was only a few miles up the road. They...

I've been thinking and reading about Line Arrays, wanting to build a pair. After reading the papers concerning the CBT concept and power sharing, I'm wondering if my idea will work... It basically is a copy of sort...of the Peavey Versarray....only on a home theater scale. I have the ribbon...

I have finally started building myself a subwoofer. It's been on the list for 10 years, and I have built subs for lots of other people in the meantime, but just never built myself one. That has changed, and I'm probably about half way there. I have cut most of the MDF and plywood. I have the...

I really want to get into digital downloading, but I'm not sure if FLAC, Apple Lossless, 192/24/ or what I am doing. I tried to download a free sampler last night from Audiogon and couldn't even get the darn thing to download. Said I didn't have the correct software to download, and I'm running...

I have decided to sell one, and maybe two pair of A-7's. If anyone is interested either PM me or post here. I have a relatively new pair from the 70's made with MDF and having the 515 woofers may people desire. I also have a pair made with ply and having the 416 woofers. Both are complete and...

Kevin would like to use his Hafler P-500 to power his Lambda Acoustic diver for his sub...It is a single 4 ohm coil modelo. I have read that you can use a cap or something to change the impedence of a driver, but don't know the downside or other particulars of doing this. Please help us decide...
