| Skeptic or just plain hard headed It kind of sounds like they wanted you to "give us a good reason to take it back" kind of thing. I bought a ham radio transceiver once that I just didn't like the audio quality on, so I wanted to return it for a refund, less the restocking fee of ... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? I can't tolerate listening to Sirius very long, since it sounds so...awful. Once in a while, I hit the 60's, 70's, 80's channels and hear a song I haven't heard in 30-40 years. I mostly listen to the comedy channels as spoken voices sound ok. | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound The power cable thing is too funny. So much nonsense and "woo". And the money spent has really no sane connection with reality. Talk about a bad value, cables are the ultimate sucker buy. | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. I've had a couple of Zerosurge surge protectors for a long time,. and they helped clean up the power in my house, but in the apt I'm living in now, the RFI is horrendous, and they don't can't do much. I can't listen to my SW receivers here at all,... | |
| Soldered VS ...everything else Crimped hard and soldered with enough heat to make the solder suck into the joint. No problems doing it this way for almost 50 years. Set screws have no place on my banana plugs. I use one of those big irons that have enough mass to pretty much in... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed I don't know why, but I really enjoy reading cable discussions. I'm about as skeptical as it gets about cables, especially break in and "magic", but I do like to read these threads. I just have to resist.... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. I can't stand the, IMHO, over the top high end just about any speaker has. I thought by the time I got to be as old as I am, 62, that that would change, as it seems to have for every friend of mine, man or woman, even close to my age. But no, I st... | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it I tend to keep stuff until it fails or is just really old. I just retired my 12 year old HT receiver when I saw a deal for a new (refurb) one at a more than 50% discount. When something fails, or the remote is almost as hard to find as a diamond i... | |
| On Line Audio Mail Order Retailers I've bought stuff of all kinds from B&H since before the website, and never had a problem. The only hassle is the hours they are closed/offline. I'm not that impatient anymore, so I just wait until they reopen. | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only I have a 24 year old CDR (one of about a dozen that old) in my car right now, that still plays fine on both my PC's DVD burners and my ancient Sony lazy susan player, and it played fine on my old laptop. It does play on my car's stereo ONCE. When ... |
