    Are you a brand-baby? C'mon, own up, be a MAN!

    I am not a brand baby ,however, if I could once again own an SAE amplifier from the old days, I would stretch my budget to own one once more in my life I have owned and been satisfied with Pioneer SX510T, Sansui, Dynaco, Marantz 1070, Quad 11 mono blocks ,Xindak, Graaf GM20 OTL(this was a...

    Audiophiles throwin' down!

    Audio Science doesn't give me goosebumps, but HEARING good music does, I imagine Audio Scientists get goosebumps LOOKING  at distortion analysers and wavy forms on oscilloscopes .

    Audiophiles throwin' down!

    Personally, I think that the very revered Ethan Winer was fudging the whole Null Test. Nowhere in that video did he show us a graph on a screen which indicated the "Null" being a solid line indicating any form of cancellation of the inverted signal. Also his outburst about everything else...

    What is your keeper?

    Audio Research VT 100 power amp Audio Research LS5 preamp And the absolute keeper, Tannoy D 900 speakers. I am so content with this combination,  I no longer hear the kit, I hear the music.

    Power amps

    An extra to my post above. having read your second post, you won't find a good "old" three channel amp. In the old days, stereo was the thing. 5.1 and 7.1 and 11.1 is for theatre not for music . Still I wish you the fun in this hobby that I have enjoyed and still discover new "old" pieces of...

    Power amps

    I found that amps that were good when they were first built still command a highish price today. If that same manufacturer is still producing amps today , they are still pricey. Amps like Audio Research, Krell, Mark Levinson, Mc Intosh, and many others will always be good amps. Amps that were...

    I've got the vintage Sansui blues

    I must be the most fortunate Sansui person. I bought a pristine au222 for R300 at Cash Diverters in Centurion . Including the original owners manual and a laminated chart to show how to connect it. It sounds as good as it looks.

    Did it sound this bad??

    I had this very record in my dads collection, which I used to play on a wind up gramaphone , and in my opinion it sounded much better than this . I think that whoever made this video was trying to show how bad the sound of yesteryear was , and specifically made the video sound bad. In that...

    Good way to utilise unused speakers

    Thanks LouisF  The maths is easy enough but to convert the answer to a proper shaped "snake" design is what I need to work on.

    Good way to utilise unused speakers

    Where do you obtain the template for the profile of the folded horn? I want to build a set of these speakers but all these you tube videos start with a ready drawn pattern which is then copied onto the wood
