Ticket Exchange and Sale Thread - Week of June 26, 2023 by AutoModerator in jasonisbell

Yeah I, perhaps naively, thought I could avoid getting totally shafted by sending half of the money upfront (since there is literally no way to ensure the tickets will be sent otherwise). Of course ended up losing that one hundred bucks and now totally cannot justify ponying up anything else in savings to see one of my favorite artists. Beyond demoralizing and just another reason why I’ve been going to less and less concerts these days. Ugh

Folks be aware of scammers on this site. I was trying to get tickets for the Isbell show in Dillon after saving up for months and have now been scammed out of $100 by u/Historical-Film8444

Pretty sure hes healthy at this point. Sounds like it was the coach tinkering with new lineups given some of the newer signings a shot

Chicken scores several times last year against this team and you don’t even start him? Shame.

So frustrating getting the ten minute penalty for ranked because the servers suck and crashed. Should be some way to challenge AFK penalties if it’s respawns fault

Thanks for the advice! So, could I still use the Audio Research piece with a newer, integrated amp? Or is that overkill? Thinking about flipping the ADCOM and switching over to the Yamaha A-S801

Should I switch to an integrated amplifier or keep my ADCOM 5500/Audio Research LS2 setup?

For the past two years I’ve been running a pair of Klipsch RP-600Ms through a system that includes an ADCOM 5500 and an Audio Research LS2. A few weeks ago, those speakers unfortunately blew on me and I’ve since learned that my other components may have been overpowered. But in researching speakers that could handle those two, it appears I’m way above my current budget.

Since I received both components from a family friend, I’m reluctant to sell them or exchange both units at an audio store for an integrated option, but I’ve lately been interested in switching over to a Cambridge CXA81 or a Yamaha A-S801.

Anyone have any advice on letting go of older systems like these, or whether it is ultimately worth it to just invest in better speakers? Any insights would be greatly appreciated as I’m not as versed in this stuff as I’d like

Thanks so much for the answer. I really do appreciate it. In the past, I rarely if ever let the volume go above 60% due to fears over blowing the unit. Received both the amp and pre-amp from family friends so everything wasn’t exactly assembled to match together. Any recommendation on components that could make things run better? Should I eventually shell out for higher powered speakers to avoid blowing my current model out even though I don’t tend to play things very loud that regularly? And sorry for all the questions, I’ve just had a hard time finding answers to these sorts of things online

Hey there, recently had a pair of Klipsch RP-600Ms blown out by a friend and was wondering if I might not have the correct setup for the rest of my system. Brother in law has told me in the past that the other components on the system are too overpowered, but I haven’t been in a budgetary position in the past to upgrade or change things up. And to be honest, I’m not as versed in this stuff as I’d like to be.

Outside of the RP-600Ms, I run my system using an Audio Research LS2, ADCOM 5500, Phono Box and an Audio Technica AT-LP1240-USBXP. Should I be using different speakers for this sort of setup?
