| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? I'm thinking after the dust gets blown off the only things left are your ear/brain adjusting. Regards, barts Still I would let them play for a day or two continuously to satisfy your curiosity and let that "static in the attic" go. | |
| Physical degradation of CD's @ibmjunkman Too bad this unit runs on 100v...I'd snatch one up and put it in the box! Regards, barts | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? I've always thought this was a term that only made sense to the person who coined it. The only explanation I can personally come up with is the timing part which I would attribute to a lack of phase coherence among drivers in a single cabinet. ... | |
| Oh my goodness! @immatthewj My father loved to tell this joke: Two grave diggers had to dig a huge burial plot for the funeral coming today. The procession arrives along with a crane and a flatbed truck. The crane promptly lifts a brand new Cadillac (with th... | |
| Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! @deep_333 Back in the day when I was playing with Realistic Maximus Vs and the large Advents, yeah doubling the speakers was very cool and wiring them so that left front and right rear where the left channel and so on with the right.

| Fun read... This line from the article kills me: "It's not uncommon for audiophiles with the means to spend literally thousands of dollars on equipment and room acoustics." It must be a typo, should read "tens of thousands". LMAO Regards, barts | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics.

Yes, there will "nearly" always be ... | |
| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! I always wear a suit whilst listening. Wish I had some of that invisible speaker cable! | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @steakster +1 I can easily hear the "glare" coming off the coffee table in front of the listening position. So that somehow disappeared into the garbage truck one day. Shouldn't be anything between you and the speakers unless of course it soun... | |
| Leave it Open or Close it Off: A Listening/ Living Room Dilemma The rear wall of my listening room has a pocket door over my right shoulder and in the corner. Its normally open for easy access to the laundry room and bathroom. That is all there is on that level. I don't think it affects the bass as much as... | |
| ARC M300 MKII call for help Although risky and possibly pricey you could try looking for a person in a similar situation and buy their one good amp. Make one good one out of two bad. Also, @bigkidz in NJ has repeatedly said most anything can be fixed, time and money...time... | |
| Have you noticed as your system improves? Last night I went on an Allman Brothers jag. Have seen them many times. Starting out gently and choosing tracks to get progressively louder. By the time I got to Live at the Fillmore I just wanted to really crank it. Had been listening in the ... | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. Hi Ron, Relax my friend, your system is one of the best I've had the pleasure listening to. Personally I think too many in this hobby are listening to the equipment and are in constant 'judgement mode". You're in a very good enviable place..... | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? This is the best thread I have read on this forum. Special thanks to @bdp24, I never realized there is so much to drumming. Regards, barts | |
