Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby?
As a '40's kid I loved listening to the radio. Then I loved listening to "anything-live",even more. Then rubbing elbows with anyone,whom had this similar affliction just got me further down this road. In '56 after I graduated high school I bought ... 
In the market for a plasma.........suggestions?
Check out your local Costco--a must ! 
Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters?
A beer in the hands of a very insensitive person doesn't help much and I agree with contacting one's dealer. I got Soph'2's as well and this was my most expensive speaker purchase. So; I can relate. I would guess Duanea may be without-- for a while. 
Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters?
Thanks A'b'guy,for helping get some of these responders straight. A bad tweeter on a Wilson speaker or on any speaker just isn't all that funny; if it happens to be 'your-speaker'. Guess there is no shortage of morons on the board here--?? I know,... 
Beginning projector...
BTW re.bulbs: My Sim2 had an 8k hr.bulb/ tho I never got past 3k hrs. I just read the website for Infocus. The bulb (3k hrs.)price is $549--ouch! Be careful,it's expensive out there in bulb land,and many never reach the time/hrs. they are touted for. 
How to convert an input to tape output
What they do is unsolder the wires to an rca,from the inside. Then they solder wires from the main-out to that rca. Then you have 2 main-outs. I had this done to a couple of dif. pieces. One I remember was an AR pre. I watched while it was being d... 
BBE Sonic Maximizer
I'm glad we had a few members with positive input to re inforce your feeling. For most of us here we're doing the upgrading one step at a time. Meaning a few years down the road our systems may have gotten better. If you like this "step" that shou... 
center speaker options for gershman x-1 based home
In the past I have owned 2 HT speaker systems that all matched/all around. Yup,it's hot and thee way to go. However that was 3 years ago (The most recent was Aerial 10T's with cc3 etc.) HT is still pretty good even when things don't match. My feel... 
center speaker options for gershman x-1 based home
I own Wilson Sophia,2. No way am I ready to pony up to 'their' center. I do HT but am less demanding in that area. With you,comming from no center, almost any decent center will be better. Check out something you could resell for same and maybe on... 
Beginning projector...
A couple of years ago I owned the 14k Sim2. I had a 92",$3500 screen. A big investment. I did the motor, "pull-down" in front of the tv. At that time I had an older standard def. tv. Then I upgraded the tv. to a JVC hdila; A 5k-job.---What a piece... 
If boulder is tops what is second tier?
Ok,my gear or my hearing aren't in this class to enable any significant input on this subject. However I have read in mag. interviews, several quotes from designers, of this very nature. (for big expensive products) I doubt any product could not b... 
Pipedreams vs. Soundlabs
Never having heard either; I'm reading this thread as an outsider. BUT--- I have read about both. "Pretty-Bad" was never in any of the PD reviews I read. 
best cd player redardless of price
Well 28k should buy a pretty good cd player. Unless you just want to run a popularity contest for expensive players,you should have a price range in mind---then you should have comparable ancillary "stuff", to go with this "best, regardless of pri... 
The WORST Components for Rock and Pop Music
I'm only posting this because of the reference to Soundlabs,as not being to good on rock. The first real hifi system I ever heard in a friend's home (as opposed to at a dealer) was made up of Accustat 1+1's,a Mac amp and pre,a Lynn table Rosewood ... 
Cleaning Amplifier & other gears
Every time you shower or even boil water you add moisture to your home environment.This helps airborne particles to attach themselves. A slight amount of glass+ with a micro cloth should take care of the finish and the grunge.
