| What a scam!! Yes, 'vaguely political', but it just proves the point.... | |
| What a scam!! A simple test to apply: Ask anyone else if they think it's scam crunk or a slam dunk. Query someone who's NOT an 'audio person' and has no stake in the items' 'pedigree'.Healthy skepticism in any 'resale market' has become the order of the day. ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Finally got around to reading the article....Y'know, I can agree with Mr. Pass. "The beauty lies in the differences'. That holds true for any and all of the components that we apply to stroke our personal preferences and situations; your tastes... | |
| $100,000 line stage "...and they're off and running!"Same horse race....different day. Have fun, y'all. *S* | |
| Are you seeing more 9/10s? Stories of this nature do smack of 'truthiness', as the seller hopes to recoup as much of his investment in the item in question. Buying a 'pre-owned' anything of late seems to require hi-rez photos of all surfaces and details in order to not fee... | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? Have finally come up with a means of rolling cones accurately with a minimum of applied handling other than set up and adhering the seam. Another wish granted, a source and an order placed for 2 mil titanium foil. Ought to make my larger cones l... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers The OP has a budget. I can relate. Here's how to winnow the chaff from the wheat, which ultimately is His Call. If you show up looking like a 'mark', you'll get treated as such. If you appear Serious, it'll at least put them on their toes. If... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers *L* Then bring all 3...that immediately marks you as 'serious' as opposed to being just another 'lookie Lou'....if the sound muffs didn't make them pause in the first place....They charge admission to these things. Well, why not 'charge' them bac... | |
| What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework? Seems that the common agreement here is that the prettier the item, the more you'r paying for appearance vs. performance.So...it comes down to whether or not you're trying to impress your eyes or your ears in the first place.There seems to be exam... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers mobius...My standard (and obvious) comment on attending any show:-Take a CD of music you like and are familiar with. If they won't play, Walk.-Take a pair of sound muffs. Save your ears and sanity for what strikes your interest and/or your budge... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Hey, todd, thanks. That's more or less what I'd assumed....I remember Audio Control or a company of a similar name had fielded a line of T amps; one could buy one standalone or a group of them that could be mounted into a common chassis (which wa... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? As noted already, type D is still in its' relative infancy. So there's perhaps a new 'kid on the block' that's yet to hit the ceiling in terms of it's impact....I keep seeing 'type T', which I suspect is referring to the Tripath units which appea... | |
| which is better? Stereo Amp or Monoblocks? At the risk of heresy....If I were to start from scratch tomorrow, and had the budget to do so...All mono class D's, +/- 100 wrms. In the thousandths in the basic specs would be nice, but I don't expect 'bleeding edge' from what is still an emerg... | |
| Try this free tweak - Speaker Slumber Party! Absolutely, Eric. Room acoustics do matter...the smaller the room, the larger part they play. At first glance though, the 'pillow project' seems to skate on the edge of WAF and how ones' spouse might react. There's alternatives...borrowing an i... | |
| Tech That Flopped! "What was old is new again.." Over and over....ESLs' are great when done properly. Same for TLs' and pretty much any cabinet design and execution when the drivers are selected for the application. Line source has their adherents....you either l... |
