| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @erik_squires You pretty much nailed it. My wife makes great chocolate chip cookies and mixes that ever so gently with a wooden spoon, but when it comes to beatin' the meat...not so gentle! @thecarpathian Smoked paprika comes in hot and swee... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? @jpwarren58 I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train. I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain. barts | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @erik_squires I inherited a Betty Crooker picture cook book with plenty of good recipes in it. I go for the Italian style as outlined in that book...which is essentially meatloaf with a small can of tomato paste in the mixture. I'm ashamed t... | |
| Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised? I'm having a hard time understanding how the domes of BOTH tweeters got distorted without having major damage to the shipping carton/speakers covers/the rest of the speaker. I'm not questioning your veracity simply wondering how that happens. Le... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @erik_squires Glad to see that you are going to raise the x-over point to some where around 150-250. You will be happy that you are willing to bring it up. Take the load off the mids. Tri-amping is a wonderment! Regards, barts | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @troutbum Definitely streamer/dac or just dac. Regards, barts | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @gano Markets move...people move...the sun moves...all in cycles. This tariff nonsense is just that, there will be no follow through. Not possible. Relax enjoy what you have. Regards, barts | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area @asvjerry 24" = 452.4 sq in. nah nah nah nah nah! Hartleys kickin' butt....... And BTW you can't see them move and will play subsonic. | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? @texasblues1959 I suspect not of the pre-lubed variety. Regards, barts | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" My take on this ongoing separation of listening to the equipment or the music it produces...it's absolutely a ridiculous point. Anyone who has been playin' this game for decades knows that they both exist. And they should! If I change a piece ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Bruce - 'nuff said. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I am definitely done (cooked to crackly crunch) having completed an upgrade in '24. No need to go any farther down this road, the system sounds fabulous. Any "upgrade" could easily be a downgrade. It is really nice and warm and cuddly to be com... | |
| Source of Fremer's "1 arc second" claim? @lewm I happened to be in a whimsical mood as I read this thread, which I found interesting. I've spoke with MF in the past, in fact he lives very close to me. I don't think he's a MF'er either. Regards, barts | |
| Buy or stay with? Stay in the family because you like them so much. Buy two CVs with the 15" woofers and a electronic external x-over plus a powerful 2 channel PA amp. Bypass the x-over in the cabinet and connect the 15s directly to the amp. Those things will br... | |
| Source of Fremer's "1 arc second" claim? Precisely why his initials are MF. Regards, barts Did I just join the nasty posters club? |
