Neil McCauley asks Howard Popeck: What were the best reproduced sounds you ever heard in the early days? Not easy to answer. Depends on one’s definition of best. If you take just listenability i.e. the customer’s sound is so good right now that I’m not going to unpack my demo gear, then it would have […]
FYI ONLY / NOT FOR SALE
Looking to see what others think of their onkyo equipment. I have a TX8211 reciever and use it for music playback. I have been very happy with this reciever, and the matching cd player for it. Playing back through average speakers and like the sound quality. Seems to me to be a good piece of […]
I was just thinking to myself about the great bits of kit iv’e had over the years. Some i was glad to see the back of and some i bitterly regret parting with. Of the amplifiers i have owned over the years the Beard CA506 pre and P100 MkII are by far the ones i […]

Your tubes can last many many years armed with this information. Think of biasing like adjusting the engine idle speed on your car. It’s very much the same. Most cars idle […]

As the youngest will be crawling soon, I thought I would pack away my heavy but beloved QLN standmounters before he damaged them (and himself). I was thinking of getting a cheapo omni that I could site away on the floor from main crawling zone and hopefully still have a half decent sound. I accept […]
Will very high quality 30 year old gear outlast the stuff made today? Maybe this should have gone into the DIY or classic sections, but here it is. I personaly own and listen to on a daily basis some great vintage gear that continues to work flawlessly, on the other hand I have had less […]
Greetings from the UK. Here’s a thread – from a while back – that some members here might find contains interesting observations, advice and, perhaps, more. In my view, certainly worth dipping in and out of if even if you have only a few minutes to spare. Neil / editor ===================== I think once I […]
