I would hope we can all agree that sonic/aural memory is somewhat faulty, not as in I can't remember what my rig sounds like, but as in it'sdifficult to remember someone else's rig you heard a month ago.With that as a background, I heard the worst... | |

| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... Still using a Sansui TU-9900 for 42 years now. Sounds great with WBGO Jazz station out of Newark NJ. Available on the web as well (of course), its a listener supported station, hence no commercials, but the occasional fund raiser. | |
| Bose 901 I owned a pair series IIs way back in the day, yes they were setup properly and I thought they sounded great. Sold them. I now have a pair of series VI that are in my garage facing backwards. It may sound crazy but they sound really good in a 100... | |
| Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan Walked into the Audio Connection to purchase a Bryston BDA-3.14 Streamer/DAC. Hadn't been there in years. Had a very pleasant conversation which included some haggling. We agreed on the price and he ordered it right then and there. I said than... | |

| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? Yup my first pair of speakers (after I cobbled some together using TV and console stereo throw-aways) were the Large Advents. Love those speakers, got 'em in the early 70's had them until just ~5 years ago. Replaced the drivers at least twice du... | |

I know I know. Do... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers To the OP, go to Amazon and purchase Bosch GLM20 laser measure, good to a 1/16 inch. Less than $40.As a young audiophile I had a Radio Shack 140w/channel receiver and the large Advents, pretty good for a 16 yr old. My dad doesn't know a thing abo... | |
| Axe to grind know it alls As several Agoners have mentioned they are active on other forums (not audio related) which do not have the same BS going on. My take on this is simply an audio forum is necessarily based on personal preference unlike a real car enthusiast forum.... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System @millercarbon Would you please talk about the acoustic treatments in the room, particularly the wainscoting that appears to be soft fabric.Also the room looks to be very absorptive and I don't see any diffusers.Thanks,Barts | |
| confused and don't know what to do Many opinions found here, can be rather daunting.Here's my two cents. Figure (really think about it) out which "system" you are going to use. If you are a major music fan then build a stereo.If you watch movies constantly then build a HT.I've ha... |
