Incredible silent movie! Giorgio Moroder provides a superb soundtrack. Inspiration for C-3PO.

Welcome!

Not yet. One is signed by Bob Carver.

Welcome! I have a couple of C-11's for sale right now.

I use a sub. Sometimes i shut it off.

I've had AT-15's, AT-12's, etc. For me the D-5's I currently have (and played last weekend with various amps) are about the most balanced. The AT's are "frat house speakers", no manners, but very loud. If you want critical listening, avoid them. If you want "Party Barn" speakers, pile 'em up! Just, no manners. Pretty much sums it up.

I'm out this year. Just can't swing it.

Look around for some Snell speakers...

If you are in the Philadelphia area and want a listen to this preamp, I will be hosting an audio meet on June 15th from 10 to 5 at 100 Frontage Rd. Cherry Hill, NJ 08034.

I'm Passing on CF19. I hope all attendees enjoy the time!

Buy one. Don't look back. Seriously. KVE777 approved. Sounds as good or better than a $3K pre.

I pulled the trigger. If Barry likes it, it must be good. I have 12AX7 adapters ordered, too.

STOP! You will not learn ANYTHING by A-B'ing speakers in the manner prescribed. Nope! Won't help. If you are seeking to find which pair of speakers pleases you most, by swapping between two(or more!) pairs for a few minutes at a time, you are sadly misdirected. Think about this: If you are trying to find which sexual partner pleases you most, would you put each in a bed and jump between beds for a few minutes at a time? All in one night? Didn't think so. Here's how you do it: Play one pair for a whole week, move them around, find the sweet spot, listen for long periods with varying sources and media. Take a break, listen to nothing for a couple of days, then look back on your last listening experience, what was your big 'take away'? Repeat this process for each pair of speakers. YES! It takes a long time! Yes! It will be rewarding in the end. I can't tell you how long it took me to 'find' my favorite speakers(Snell C/v's). I had long, intimate relationships with horns and ribbons, just to learn I prefer mainly soft dome and some really well presented metal dome mids and tweeters. Your results will vary. I can appreciate horns and paper cones, sure. It's a process. Don't try short cuts. A-B'ing just doesn't cut it for truly understanding the nuances of speakers.

Welcome! If you want THE ONE DeoxIt product to have, get the F-5. The Fader Lube is great at getting old pots and sliders quiet.

Welcome! Play some Pink Floyd for us...
