| Audiophile frame of mind @dhite71 Many good grill choices out there. Bought an all stainless Weber natural gas grill as part of new patio, so nice to never have to lug tanks around. Its been outside for 20 years now (covered for the first ten, till a bear decided he d... | |
| What is preferred/best contact cleaner these days? Deoxit and forget it....... Regards, barts | |
| 5 steps in developing hearing Since the first time I heard the acronym PRAT all I could think was BS. Yeah maybe an acapella choir has PRAT...but how in the hell does ANY system playing the same recorded music have a different Pace? Rythym? Timing? Some one somewhere just tr... | |
| Need a 4 way electronic crossover I am currently using a Marchand and it works as advertised, it doesn't do anything deleterious to the signal. Having said that I would attempt to have the Sony rebuilt simply because you obviously like what it does. Regards, barts | |
| How you know your system is improving? @hilde45 I would counter by saying that it certainly is an investment in your life and is paying dividends. Think of all the non-monetary investments you've made in your life...just a simple walk in the park is an investment. Regards, barts | |
| Audio Research Pre-Amp advice @jrwaudio I also have a LS15 bought in '96 with updated Infini caps (work done by Ward Fiebiger may he RIP). Changed the original Sovtek tubes after about 12 years! Put in Gold Lions, wow what a difference. It has been relegated to the garage s... | |

| Townshend Isolation Products. I balanced a nickel on top of each speaker facing the listening position. Then I gave the Hartley Reference a real workout...tri-amped with 24" woofers. The nickels never moved, they stayed put for over a month and then I got tired of looking at... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I'm thinkin' someone switched out the real speaker graph for a recent DOW stock market graph! Regards, barts | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday @stereo5 Well I guess we all have different experiences, My first (and only) visit to Sound by Singer I was not so politely asked to leave the store by one of the salesman, which I did. BTW, they refused to play any piece of equipment! I guess... | |
| Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition? You may have thought of this or already have one, but if not a Bosch GLM20 Blaze laser measuring tool makes speaker alignment very accurate and you don't need a second person person to hold the tape. Measures to a millimeter (1/25th of an inch). ... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? My buddy and I (who is also a forum member) had a DAC shoot-out with three DACs. Forgetting brands, all three were only about 2 weeks old. It was crystal clear which the better of the three was. So, I'm still not sure where discipline comes into... | |
| Audiophile junkie - awesome vid about NYC million dollar system today This system looks like it has no place in that room. Bet the guy never gets above 70db! What a waste.....conspicuous waste at that! Regards, barts |
