| Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if..... At the risk of being a nattering nabob of negativity (the only thing RR said that I thought was funny), I find Elton John's cover of 'Lucy' more interesting as a listen. And "With a Little Help..." was covered in the movie 'The Lathe of Heaven' s... | |
| I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm *G* That Decca widget sounds great, but obviously was a real 'niche market' thing. I'd be surprised if any survived...What would be a potential object that could perform this action? Not everyone is able to have the TT 'at hand', but it could be... | |
| What are the most outrageous speakers reviews you have ever seen? ...some reviewers seem to have access to 'biological sonic enhancements' that I don't, and that's really irritating to me... | |
| The best tweeter design Late to the party....wolf__garcia *L* The 'organic approach' isn't for everyone. Besides, having to replace the bird after every session is really a PIA.....Eric, absolutely right. The smaller AMT's, esp. the one's made to 'front radiate' only s... | |
| Where to donate electronics in good working order Habitat for Humanity. The staff there generally has someone who will recognize 'the good stuff' and price accordingly.I ran into a pair of Infinity floor speakers in mint condition going for what I thought was quite reasonable and would give H4H ... | |
| Pest Inspection I'm not a doctor, but I look like one. My Rx is to step up some ring radiators or some hf horns playing UHF sweeps. Place a large bug zapper in front of the chosen drivers. Place fans near zappers to blow away fried bodies and to blow the stench... | |
| What are the most outrageous speakers reviews you have ever seen? All of them? *L* When you get comments like that, it does point out a perspective that does bare some contemplation....;) | |
| Best indoor FM antenna, your experience. *L* Well, none...but 'what works' seems to be 'site specific', based on the above responses.Try anything, but keep the receipt. ;) | |
| Bose 901 Series ii kosst, granted....given the 901's design and intent, a stack of them would not be a 'perfect' line array. It would be louder 'n hell but would exhibit all sorts of warts doing so....Noting that a concert venue's arrays typically have a curvature,... | |
| Shopping for vinyl south Florida, Jupiter ....go about 2,540 mi. southeast of the Great Red Spot, and you'll hit a hydrogen ice floe that has the best selection of the Local Group. It's a bit windy and ship parking alway sucks, but....Oh, sorry....wrong Jupiter. My bad. You can't get t... | |
| Binge sessions *L* Beats 'binging' on something less socially acceptable, and if the spouse tolerates it in you....enjoy. Different strokes, 'n all that...;) | |
| What have I missed in the last 12 years? I'm a fan of streamcasting since local radio is *meh*. Connection speeds are up, so there's less dropouts now. But that'll depend on your wire...The 'connection/wire wars' continue unabated, as do discussions on most anything else. Tweek as you... | |
| Help At this point, since the originals are likely unobtainium, test leads...For the truly driven, opening it up and some substitution would be called for. The warranty went away long ago...'Course, the next question is: Why? *L* Some vintage is wort... | |
| Is there any advantage to lower efficiency speakers? 87 or below? Mmm, duplication of 'live' is such a 'moving target'. Since one is listening to a recording of a live performance (for example) that's gone through myriad equipment and processes in the interval. It seems to me (IMHO time) that the only way one ... | |
| Looking for vintage system suggestions (maranta, klipsch, etc...) Older Marantz are nice. 'Warm sound', always seemed more powerful than the specs suggested. The ones with a mid-range tone control was nice if you don't opt for an outboard eq. And the wood cabinets were pleasant to have around....*S* |
