| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? I can't tell if the original post is a well played and thought out trolling adventure...or if @ristrettox6 actually spent $700 on speaker cables for gear that can be found for less than $250. If a sly rib-tickler about the hilarious prices peo... | |
| Favorite moment with music in your car. The year was 1977, and my buddy and I were in his 1968 VW Microbus nicknamed "Old Blue" driving down Black Mountain in Kentucky, after leaving a gig in Cumberland. He was the drummer in our pretty successful regional rock band, and "Old Blue" was... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. David Gilmour’s debut solo album from 1978. Incredible album. A "gilmourish nerd tidbit" -- a song that he wrote too late to be mixed for his debut album was included on "The Wall"...just a little tune called "Comfortably Numb". Had that song also... | |
| Record Store Day 2024? I know a couple of the founders of Record Store Day, and a current Project Manager. To me, RSD has lost its focus. What started as an event to save Independent "Mom and Pop" new and used vinyl shops, similar to "Black Friday" for major retailers, ... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Be careful @erik_squires. Another Eric may sue you for posting about measurements. Oh, wait, wrong choice of words. He may "litigate"... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama @tomic601 -- Amen! I'd LOVE to see that business destroyer Eric actually attempt to sue Amir or Erin over this laughable debacle. I would contribute to their defense fund in a heartbeat. Eric seems to forget that people took screenshots of the... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits @bigtwin -- Dang! Who blew it for the rest of us! I was rooting for that thread to make it to TWENTY PAGES...came up a few posts short. Rats. But for 2 years and 3 months it was glorious. | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp @kingbr -- I hope you find out the issue, but if I were in your shoes, I would NOT continue to risk my SF Sonetto's. For goodness sakes, disconnect those speakers ASAP. If you want to continue to experiment with possible issues, connect the chea... | |
| The Music Room @mewsickbuff -- What gear are you selling? I did not see that listed. | |
| Are You a Swifty? ROTFLMFAO!! Threads that warn our fellow Forum members about fraudulent websites and threads that say negative things about companies that spend big advertising dollars with Audiogon get SHUT DOWN BY THE MOD CZARS....yet a thread about a less ... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @tonywinga -- After reading your reply above, I had to visit the "Jay's Thread" because I had missed it. Loved your story about how you acquired the MoFi version of the Alan Parson's masterpiece. "Tales of Mystery and Imagination..." in 1976... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @czarivey -- Thanks, Brother. Sometimes we just need to brag on our Fur Kids. My own kids are full-fledged adults....so Fur Kids are all I have that mind me (sometimes). @immatthewj -- Yes, Bruce The Brown Dog (when he was a puppy people would ... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @dill -- Good one. Sorry our love of audio and animals "soured" on you. See, I can make jokes too. My topic has run it's course, so if Matthew and I want to indulge ourselves with our crazy Fur Kids and our audio gear, feel free to skip or opt ... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @immatthewj -- The Plott Hound is not widely known outside of North and South Carolina, but they are gaining popularity. Briefly: The Plott Hound is a large scent hound, originally bred for hunting bears. In 1989, the North Carolina General A... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @immatthewj -- Thanks for doing a wonderful thing! Dobby and Kossa keeps us on our toes. We also have two GrandDogs that keep us hopping. Bruce "The Brown Dog" is a 35-pound 13 year old Boxer and Plott Hound mix, and his baby brother is a 95 po... |
