| Suggestions for In wall speakers? For a guy that owns Vandersteen, that is a very strong recommendation. I will add them to my list. I plan to buy two pair of HT speakers, one for side walls and for rear. The new Dolby EX will take advantage of this configuration, so I would like ... | |
| Inexpensive DIY Speakers Thanks Trelja, the amount of detail you offered should qualify your post for more than a +2 rating. I am tempted to build a pair of these myself. Your effort is appreciated. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Thank you Trelja for relating your experience. These musicians went into this test with healthy scepticism, and were drawn closer to the performance by the (unexpected) improvement. This appears to be identical to what many of us experience with p... | |
| Best interconnect for Sony SCD-1 w/ss I agree with the two posts above that suggest either the Cardas or Purist. I am using Purist Proteous with my SACD and find the resolution to be excellent and tonal balance very good. I would like a touch more warmth if possible, and the Cardas wo... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Stevemj. I am not opposed to ideas, only to comments that scientific evidence is necessary to prove that something works. I am very confident of my hearing and the results of my testing. I think that if those of you that disagree that power cords ... | |
| Party At Albertporter s What follows is my one piece of serious input, to this otherwise not so serious group of postings. If any of you happen to be traveling to Texas, and want to stop by for a listen, contact me through the Audiogon e-mail server before hand, and we w... | |
| Room Acoustic Treatment with High WAF? The two sites I have provided below have specialty wall treatments that are beautiful and effective enough to be used in many sound applications, including home systems and recording studios.http://www.owenscorning.com/around/sound/acoustic.htmlht... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Stevemj and 702. Until you actually plug a cable into a player like mine and have valid comments about such, I am going to do my best to ignore you. We have beat this topic to death in one way or another on multiple posts. We have literally devote... | |
| Party At Albertporter s Steve McCormack was the only person I ever knew that had any of these, and I am not certain if he has used them all up by now. He lives in California, but had friends like me in Texas, so that put a lot of pressure on his supply.The last time I pl... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Kevperro, please do get back with us and post which cables are the "cats meow." I also suggest that once your have played all the cat sounds that you can stand, try "Furry Sings The Blues," by Joni Mitchell. | |
| Party At Albertporter s Garfish, I just realized I did not respond to your kind offer of 150 Country Western CD's. Steve McCormack has installed a C&W filter on my system, so when those are played, there is no sound. Sometimes early Linda Ronstadt music (Heart Like a... | |
| Party At Albertporter s Pops, cooking on amps is messy, the oils remove the Telefunken logos on the glass, and reduce the value of the tubes. Wouldn't your wife be jealous if you brought a little grill to the party? What would everyone think about the differences in your... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Stevenmj, I think a more accurate analogy would be to say that my car ran better because the fuel line size was increased, and therefore provided less resistance and lag time in supplying the energy source to the engine under high demand. Your ana... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? 70242.241. So are you inferring that the stock power cord on my new Sony 9000 ES, which was an 18 gauge, is sufficient enough that replacing it with a high quality power cord ( 12 gauge?) from Purist Audio will not affect the performance? | |
| Party At Albertporter s Patti won't mind, you may have to bring some wine as a welcome gift, she is definitely not a beer drinker.If Elvis does show up, I will play him the Classic Reissue of his material and he can sing along. That way we will really know how the system... |
