What do you do with all those CD's??
Check out my system page. But you'll need 4 of them, as it only holds 400. 
Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics?
Good one, Shadorne! 
What music do you want to play really loud?
Jimmy Thackery & the Drivers, "Sinner Street". Starts off rockin' with "Grab the Rafters". Track 5 is "Chained to the Blues Line", which is one of my all time favorite blues tunes. Great mix of guitar and sax. Last, but not least, the end trac... 
Speaker position question?
Sounds like you need to adjust the speakers a bit more. Like above, move the toe-in to meet just behind the sitting position. I just finished moving mine around, as I had the same problem. A fraction of an inch will make a difference. The distance... 
Help rotel pops when turning on and off
I have an old Sansui receiver that does the same thing. I put a larger wattage resistor across the "B" speaker leads, then before I turned it off, I just switched to the "B" speakers. When I power it up, it's on the "B" speakers, the load is absor... 
I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help
Chap_cat, I just removed a Virtual Dynamics Power 3 power cord from my Jolida JD100 CDP because it improved the bass too much, for my system. Check out my system link. With the original power cord in place, the bass has mellowed back to normal. If... 
Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
Already posted a worst. Here's a best. Was at a tavern with some friends who had tickets to see Head East who were playing that evening. I didn't have a ticket, and was loudly complaining the fact. There were a bunch of guys on the other side of t... 
Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
In the early '70's I was attending a Grateful Dead concert with my nose all taped up from one side of my head to the other, from top to bottom. I had it cauterized because there were way too many veins, which bled when the air got drier. There was... 
tt surface noise reduce or tolerate?
I use a RCM with the 3 step AIVS that Viper_z uses, then zap the record near the edges in three spots, then once in the middle with a Zerostat 3. Gotta have a Zerostat! Most recordings still have a very slight surface noise, but is very, very negl... 
How many of us look under the hood??
Dazzdax, I had to have the unit powered up in order to do the operations I was performing. Had been doing these for quite some time, and I guess I got a little careless. They were becoming routine, and I got what I deserved for not paying attention. 
How many of us look under the hood??
You have to be real careful poking around in there. Back in '76 I was tuning a filter in a receiver and got a little too close to a couple hundred volts. Next thing I know I'm sitting against the wall on the floor six feet away. Still don't rememb... 
Words From the Wise
It's what YOU hear, not what THEY think. 
The partner or wife factor
Kbuzz, keep the lad listening to the stereo, and away from the television. I think T.V. is the worst thing there is for a child, that's without parental guidance, of course. I bought a 40 inch LCD HD TV for $1700, got the dish, with all of the HD ... 
More evidence that LPS are still alive
This past weekend I picked up the Carnegie Hall Library of Classical Music (18 boxes with 5 lp's in each box) for $25 at an antique store. These are quality Deutsche Grammophon and Philips pressings from the '70's. Look to never have been played. ... 
Wise audio aphorisms
I'm really tiring of the SS bashing...
