Why is it I don't recall seeing toroidal transformers in tube amps? Is it a technical issue, aesthetics or other reason? :scratch2:

Looks like an interesting addition to my computer setup... http://www.adcom-usa.com/gia-275

As we all know, while our listening skills get better as we age along with our hi-fi hobby, our ears don't. I've recently tested my 49 y/o ears using a computer generated tone generator and found that my hearing is pretty strong up to about 16KHz, with no real hearing much above 18KHz. No...

:banana:Now just waiting for the Mustang seats and backrest to come in.:banana:

I'm currently in the market for a new sub. I have a budget up to $1000. My top priority is that it must be musical. High dB output is not important, but good bass extension is. It will be mated up with my Magnepan MG 1.7s. Listening room dimensions are apx. 13' x 18' I'm hoping for some...

The Audio Insider is offering a new series of speakers "Arx" with planar magnetic tweeters at some pretty affordable prices. I'm curious to know if any of you folks have had a chance to audition them? http://www.theaudioinsider.com/product_info.php/p/arx-a1/products_id/65

I just stubbled across this site. Some interesting stuff. This article is a hoot! http://consumerist.com/2010/01/company-puts-500-blu-ray-player-in-new-case-charges-3000-markup-and-gets-caught.html

Does anyone recall a rather unique turntable that came with a flat tonearm. From the early eighties or so? I seem to remember that it was about as thick as a circuitboard and instead of wires in the arm, the conductors were etched onto the arm. It just came to my mind, that's all.

I almost had to change my skibbies when I saw this! Wish I had a local dealer.... :( http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-10422797-47.html?tag=mncol;title

Back in the early 90's, I bought a pair of Magnepan MG-1.4. I listened to those speakers for several years before trading them in for a "smaller" sub/sat system when I moved to a smaller place. I absolutely LOVED those speakers and they provided flawless performance the years I had them. Now...

Just wondering what precautions you biking audiophiles take when riding? As we all know, excessive wind noise can permanantly damage our ability to hear out favorite tunes on our favorite equipment. Most of the time, I wear a helmet when on the road, especially if I'm doing any highway...

Anyone know of a simple (No headphone jacks, volume controls, etc.), reasonably priced, high power A/B speaker selector? I don't need the 4 and 6 switch units. Preferably with 5-way binding posts. Just want to switch between two pairs. The Niles HPS-4 looks nice, but I don't like the...

Anyone know of a source that can supply custom covers for speakers? I'm looking for something in a heavy canvas or denim that would protect speakers from my cats and dust. Thanks!

FYI Newegg has an incredible deal right now on the Polk Audio Monitor 70 floorstander. Yes, the Monitor line has been recently discontinued by Polk, but these are brand new and with full manufacturer's warrantee. Anyway, they are selling for $169.99/ea w/free shipping (Cherry finish only)...

Anyone out there have first hand experience with "Home Theater 2U" products? I have some interest in trying out a pair of their N-6 bookshelf system. All comments welcome :) See 'em here at http://store.hometheater2u.com/n6bookshelf.html

Ever since my first "Hi-Fi" system back in the early eighties (Pioneer SX-30 receiver, Pioneer HPM-500 speakers and a Pioneer Direct drive turntable) I've been hooked on the stuff ever since. My current AND vintage system consists of an Adcom GFA-555II power amp, ADCOM GFP-555II Pre-amp, Phase...
