    The Humble Nad 1300 Preamp: Inside and Out

    I have had an eye out for this Pre for a long time. While it is not up to my vintage Threshold, and Spectral gear, (see my posts on those) for the cost of $100-$250 on Ebay, it is a FANTASTIC deal. It is all Class-A circuitry, and when left on it runs a tad under lukewarm. The red-lined rack...

    "Audiophile” version of noise cancelling phones?

    Hi all. I have a pair of Goldring NS-1000 phones. I am shopping for something that is noise cancelling, like these are, but more accurate. These have an annoying upper-bass bloom that is distracting. My go-to phones are the A.K.G. 401’s which seem to do nothing wrong, and get rave reviews. The...

    B&W’s at estate sale JUST STARTED! 8-25-16

    LOOK at this. Do you live near Orland Park, IL? They want $6,800 for the whole B&W speaker set. It is all or nothing. Not the way that I would sell them, but still. A surround sound/audiophile set for the ages! I have no connection with this sale whatsoever. All in all, this seems to be a very...

    Threshold Audio, and their GREAT Response about Updating my Vintage Threshold Gear

    Here is the email that I sent, and their answer. I am aware of Jon Soderberg, and the great feedback that people give him, but here is another option. When you think of what you get as a final unit, compared to what's out there at similar prices of vintage + updates, these are GREAT DEALS! Hi...

    A Look Inside The Original Spectral MS-ONE Preamp

    These are pretty good shots of this beast from an Ebay ad in which it did not sell. I have no connection with this, but I messaged this gentleman named Phil to get permission to post his pics. I am the happy owner of a Spectral DMC-6-II, so I am a huge fan of Spectral gear. Notice how...

    Inside The Threshold Fet-10e Phono Preamp – Pics

    I found a great deal on this unit from EBay. Notice it is the, “e” version with the balanced outs. I could not find any internal pics of it on the internet at all, so I thought that I would post these two that I took. Feel free to share them wherever you want. The view of the pics is with the...

    Spectral vs. Threshold phono sections: Does one sound better than the other?

    Hi all. So I own a Spectral DMC-6. I put some shots of somebody else's up in American Audiophile's great review of it. I LOVE this preamp. They can be had for about $650-$800 on the used market. Anyway, being the owner of a threshold Dac-1E, and three Threshold S-300's, I am also a huge fan...
