| Are there any absolute truths??? Truth one:The possibility something in your system will break is directly proportional to the length of time before the visitor arrives, their importance, and the distance they traveled.Truth two:If the system does not break, your library of 6000 ... | |
| Issues from using wrong spkr. termination There are lots of possibilities here. Changing the connectors on the wire, using an adaptor, changing the terminals on your amps and speakers or leaving things as they are.What is the equipment you're running and what is the cable? This will help ... | |
| What about South America and Antarctica? Gthrush1, if you are ready to stand by your convictions, send your automobile, stereo, computer and other energy using non-necessities to me. That way your conscience will be clear.I haven't forgotten the people in New York, nor has George W. Thes... | |
| Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter????? Zakesman, I believe "Suck starting a Harley" is a higher rating than either "Coating off dome tweeter" or "Chrome off tailer-hitch." There is also the "Golf ball through thirty feet of garden hose, " but that begins to border on scary.It's nice th... | |
| Please help with subwoofer. Davehrab, I am not a follower of sports, so I was unaware of our Texans doing well against the Giants. I am impressed with your comments above though, much to think about for the HT challenged. I keep mine simple and concentrate on stereo. | |
| Please help with subwoofer. There have been a number of threads posted on this subject. I have not made the test between these two but the general consensus is that the crossover is as (or more) important than the speaker itself.You have a very good speaker in the Infinity K... | |
| Tubes....did I pass up a good deal? Too many variables at play here. If Andy at Vintage furnished you tubes you have quality assurance and recourse. If you paid $80.00 at the flea market and none or only one of the Amperex tubes was usable in your ARC, you would be screwed. This ass... | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? At one time I had four slabs of 3 inch machined Granite and used them under amps, preamp and turntable. After experimenting with them (damping) in every possible way, I sold them. Could never completely eliminate the signature they imparted into t... | |
| Please help with subwoofer. How about using REL and hook it (them?) up for HT and two channel, gaining advantage for both systems. There is a REL Stadium for sale here on Audiogon for under 2K, it would definitely do the job. | |
| Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter????? Unsound, you mean you had an eargasm? | |
| Best brand of cable for B&W N802? Krell1, you might consider the new engineering marvel from Purist, the Venustus. It is less expensive than Proteous and in some ways better than Dominus.I have been testing two pair of these in my system and don't think I will go back. They are be... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 The Porter Port........really like the sound of that. For more than ten years now, my CES badge reads category RETAILER: "PORTERHOUSE Dallas, TX." CES exhibitors always look at badges of whoever is visiting. When they read mine they always smile a... | |
| Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter????? I hope nobody puts their mouth on the tweeter after Sanctuary uses the toilet plunger on it.This could lead to one having a bad taste in their mouth over Theil. | |
| Old Sherwood tube tuner As I remember, that adjusts the output. Idea being you could have the tuner and turntable (regardless of cartridge) match exactly when you selected back and forth.If the tubes are in good shape and alignment is correct that is a very nice sounding... | |
| The Mysteries of Random Play Two possible answers. You have only Stevie Wonder related songs on your computer :^).Steve Jobs had a real thing for "Songs In The Key Of Life" and programed the passion into iTunes. |
