TT wall mount height
I have no trouble finding studs, I need only look in the mirror. Hardy Har Har.Seriously, though, I have had this mounted before but I am moving into a new house this week. I had it mounted at about shoulder level previously and wondered is there ... 
Integrated Amp for Stratus Goldi
My Goldi's mate very well with a McCormack DNA-225 (though not integrated). They do, as others have said, like and will fully use a lot of power. Unlike the experience of Leftistelf, I had better success with AZ Satoris in a single-wire plus jumpe... 
Proac Yew Owners
Gunbei, yes this is a very safe method for use on veneers. Because the pumice and rottenstone are so fine an abrasive, you are not nearly as likely remove more than thousandths of an inch of anything, whether it be a varnish finish or wood. What y... 
Proac Yew Owners
No problem. I wish I had more time and my grandfather's former shop to work with wood again. I had forgotten that after the 3-5 rubbings with pumice powder, we then finished off with 1-2 passes with rottenstone. I did a little poking around on the... 
Proac Yew Owners
Jla, I am not familiar with the finish that Proac gives to their speakers, so I am hesitant to give a suggestion that might otherwise ruin the effect of your finish. If the speakers do not have a high gloss lacquered or a varnish-based finish, you... 
"Refurbished"?
But, beware of "open-box" items. I had an old Philips CD burner/player that I was using to burn only. It was in need of cleaning under the service agreement from Good Guys. They lost my unit in transit and said they would replace it with a newer m... 
Proac Yew Owners
I can give you some background on yew wood having worked with it quite a bit in a former life as a furniture builder. There are two types - European and Pacific. I imagine the Proacs use the European "version". Yew was highly prized for making lon... 
Plinius 250/Pass x-350/Gamut D200/Other ?
I have heard and seen a number of opinions stating that the GamuT D-200 had trouble driving speakers. Does anyone have practical knowledge of this apparent shortcoming and can say just how efficient a speaker need be to be effectively driven by th... 
Are your used items selling?
Lest ANYONE be confused because I have not made myself clear, I have no objection to anyone posing their repsective opinions. I would die for your freedom to do so. In fact, I once had an uncle and a brother who gave that ultimate sacrifice. Mine ... 
Are your used items selling?
Oh, I was in no way offended. Just speaking in the interest of discouraging the rhetoric from escalating to the point where neither side can back away from their position. Not sure if I am talking about the thread or the larger debate contained wi... 
Are your used items selling?
Talk about selling IT...seems there's there's a pretty active ad campaign on both sides....On with the PRODUCTS! :-) Sorry, don't mean to offend. It just seems that talk of what is or isn't selling has turned into a "right-left punch", as it were.... 
Great bargain - but outta my reach
I didn't intend for this to be a "wish-list" thread, though Gregm's list is certainly impressive and is shared by me. On the other hand, I owuld never restirct anyone from posting what they want (with possible exception of the drivel to be current... 
High-tension power lines and audio
I should mention that I am aware of the unsubstantiated health risks of living near this type of tower. We will risk that aspect for the one-year period. Just wondering what to expect regarding audio system performance. 
The Heat Is On
From the Bay Area California: "What is winter?" LOLActually, I kinda miss the Midwest winters where I grew up every once in awhile (for about 10 minutes).We have the opposite problem here where the humidty is higher in winter with a good deal of r... 
Testing-ever get fed up?
"Famously one time me and a fellow audio friend were remarking on the subtle changes and deeper bass on a track after certain combination changes in my system with one of his components-only to find we'd listened to the exactly same combination tw...
