| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? Thanks for the answers so far. FWIW, I have 2 Sumiko S10 subs which are a clone of the Rel S5. they have Fiberglass Cones instead of metal (I believe that is correct). The speaker size and amps are the same size 12" & power 550 watts as well a... | |
| Top 5 recievers of the 70's and 80's ???? Harmon Kardon HK 730 twin power. I bought the Luxman R115 to replace it when a channel quit working (Power Supply). I HATED every minute with the Luxman. No bass line whatsoever. Just a thump of the bass drum. I had Original Large Advents so I kn... | |
| Anyone know how to determine bitrate/res on Stereophonic? I answered this once but see it is gone for some reason. maybe I didn't hold my mouth right. I don't really understand the question but I have been downloading since Napster and have an understanding of bitrate. I don't know a formula. And I haven... | |
| Anyone know how to determine bitrate/res on Stereophonic? I know about bitrate but don't understand your question. If its Mp3 it will usually say that on playback. You can look at the file size and the length to also get an idea. Lossless is mostly Flac or M3a for PC. I believe it is about 768>. Cant... | |
| First HIFI system @pblayer maximum of 80" to keep speakers apart. That is sufficient. My towers are only 86" center to center The idea for an all in one system besides $ saving is the convenienceI certainly understand convenience. The older I get the more I under... | |
| plinth for tts8000 @lewm It is those planes perpendicular to the compressive force present when slate was formed that I think makes slate a good material for dissipating energy, and why it does not ring, as other "stones" may do I looked up slate’s hardness compare... | |
| First HIFI system @mapman Maybe you are right. I can't say. But I DO know that there is a t least one generation that listen to Mp3's and think they sound good. Some musicians I have played music with, think 128mbps is CD quality. Since the vinyl resurgence, 've se... | |
| First HIFI system +1 for Miller.FWIW, I have aa lot of misgivings about a piece of equipment that does everything but make my breakfast. may be inexpensive, but it reminds me of one of those all ion one woodworking machines that do a little bit of everything but n... | |
| What is a reasonable discount from MSRP from a local dealer? I'm not sure MSRP means anything in the modern market. Though I agree with mc, everyone knows you have to play the game of asking a ridiculous MSRP and then sell it everyday with at least 20% off and often 1/3 off. | |

| plinth for tts8000 @lewm & @rauliruegas I know both of you are very knowledgeable about TT’s in general. However After doing a lot of testing with various footer materials, there are materials like glass, Metals & Stone which raise red flags to me. IF you ne... | |
| Why Does My Attempts To Answer a Post Not Alert The Recipient? Thanks for all the help. I guess this is what you get for free. I suspect $100 yr will get you more. | |
| Why Does My Attempts To Answer a Post Not Alert The Recipient? @millercarbonI mentioned you in a comment yesterday. Your name never highlights though. Did you get a notice? Just curious. I get notices but not all of them. But you are right about '90's tech.@dadork Right up there on the right beside your pos... | |
| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia @lewm I was born in '51. The "made in Japan" joke stayed around to the early 70's when Toyota & Honda started being imported, IME. Then too, much of Europe was destroyed and of course 2, big cities in Japan also. Plus their economies were rui... | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? @heilbron Goldmine standard is a good standard if used properly. Unfortunately, too many of those who have just entered into the fray from the vinyl resurgence are unfamiliar with the standards, etc, that us who grew up with vinyl, are accustomed... |
