| Is this typical Service? $75 and hour charge is reasonable - and pretty consistent with what I've experienced with other companies. In my experience, the minimum service charge is 1 hour which I think it fair. 4 hours minimum to check them out seems really high - especial... | |
| Replacing Forests??? I've owned a pair of Sttafs for 2 years now. I still think they're fantastic in many ways, and would recommend them to anyone. I've never tired of listening to them. I'm a fanatic for deep bass however, and in my room they were lacking. I was happ... | |
| Monitors secure on stands I agree with Ttowntony. If I was in the market, I would steer clear or expect a big discount if inserts are added. Also, I used Blue-Tac to fasten GMA Europas, and Totem Mani-2s to the stands. It does a good job without damaging or blemishing the ... | |
| Import from Mexico I had to pay $60 and change duty/brokerage for a $1000 preamp that I bought from a guy in Canada. It's a Musical Fidelity preamp, mande in Great Britain. As I understand it, if the item you're purchasing is manufactured in North America (including... | |
| Owning too many speakers I have 6 pairs of speakers that I consider relevant at this point, plus some cheapos. All are more or less in use in a separate system/room. I just bought 2 new pairs makes 8 so will need to sell one or 2 sets soon to make room. I too like the var... | |
| Any AV pre/pro's or receiver with parametric EQ? had a Sony TA-E2000esd that did. It's an old model with only Pro Logic, but one of their newer one might have the feature. | |
| Static in the balance knob, what can I do? Actually WD-40 isn't crap, it's wonderful stuff when used for it's purpose. It's great for winterizing in-board boat motors.The Radioshack contact cleaner is just as cheap as WD-40 and works well. Craig Deoxit works better in my experience. Comple... | |
| Sub Upgrade for Music and Home Theatre I'm a Rel fan - my Storm III is incredible for music, although I don't use it for home theater I can't imagine it's not equally outstanding.dumboat2@yahoo.com, you need to use the high level cable connected to the speaker outputs of your amp. The ... | |
| Anyone rediscovering their old LP's? ok double ditto . . .I did exactly the same thing a year ago. It was like getting 150 new albums (my old vinyl collection) all at once since I hadn't played them since the early 90's. I also have a used record store nearby and am amazed how well v... | |
| GMA europa, Where to audition what exactly do you find lacking in your Rainmakers now? I had Europas and Totem Sttafs side by side for a while - and although I'm not sure how similar the Rainmaker is to Sttaf, I suspect they're closer to the Sttaf than to the Europas. I still ... | |
| audio shop repair costs I had to have the Laser asm replaced in a NAD 341i cd player it cost me about $150 as I recall, the part was $65-75 of that I think. I was not happy at all . . . First, the laser shouldn't have died in the first place. | |
| Does one NEED multiple amps? I have multiple amps (5 currently). I thought it was something I had to do because I was indecisive, compulsive, or had some other mental defect.I guess this means it's good. Hmm . . . feeling better about myself already :-) | |
| pink triangle pttoo Actually, Khoubesserian's enterprise has its own web site with details of upgrades, spares, new models posted on it.http://www.thefunkfirm.co.uk/. | |
| Chroma Key "Graveyard Mountain Home" Good point Meisterkleef - I have OSI too - which is perhaps a little more "musical" than "Graveyard Mountain Home". It also is extremely well recorded and engineered, and both can be great demo's of the system though I think "Graveyard Mountain Ho... |
