| Help Father of the bride dance song. here's a different train of thought...I doubt any song is adequately going to convey proper sentiments or speak to ones soul. Id choose something uplifting that you and her can dance too easily. Perhaps something by someone she likes, or somethi... | |
| Imaging and Detail. As much as I usually love to disagree with Tvad to rattle his chain some, I gotta agree with him here.If the intent going in is to formulate a highly resolving system, then that system is going to resolve the playback material (s) for what they tr... | |
| Review: Thor Audio TA-1000 Tube preamp Nice story... glad things worked out for you. Aren't you glad I mentioned you should consider getting a Thor preamp? | |
| Vandy quatro vs Vandy 5’s Size matters! Room size that is. Bigger needs bigger usually.if the amp in use has no issues with either speaker system heed the above advice.Otherwise.... I'd look at some other speakers myself.... and to be fair to yourself, you should. | |
| Review: herbie's Audio Lab Iso Cup footers Tweak Given waht I've heard from the pieces you own, waht you are using and where they are being used, makes enormous sense to me.Tubes are different animals than SS and each camp benefits from different approaches.I'd want to use compliant or sorbathan... | |
| Windows XP or Windows 7? IÂm surely not the ONLY source and definitely not the LAST word on PC audio affairs. There are several right here on Agon which exceed easily my knowledge base. Consequently, I try to stay within my own experiences not postulating on exacts, and ... | |
| What do you NOT plug into the power conditioner... Without surge limiting power line coneditioning devices inline with my gear, I lost all but my SS amp following a strike nearby not directly. All the low voltage stuff died. PCs, Telephones, scanner etc. I use .passive plc now. Save for the pream... | |
| Is new better than old? personally I'd go new or not too old, as per my comments above.IF YOU HAVE REASONABLY GOOD POWER 150 – 250WPC, I’D THINK WELL ABUOT THE USHER SPEAKERS.I HEARD THOSE SPAEAKERS AT A NEARBY DEALERSHIP SOME TIME BACK AND WAS SUMMARILY IMPRESSED. Great... | |
| What do you NOT plug into the power conditioner... A vaccuum cleaner?Power tools? OK... maybe a Dremmel.dynamics restriction is always the thoughts going in on PLC. In order to preserve them many threads say plug the amps directly into the wall outlet/dedicated ckt. and NOT the PLC.Trying things b... | |
| Is new better than old? One of my alternative systems uses tower speakers made by Phase Technologies. They were introduced in the early to mid 90s. 94-96 as I recall. Sold for close to $3K per pair back then... 15 years ago.Anyone know what $2600 to $2900 of 1996 money e... | |
| Review: herbie's Audio Lab Iso Cup footers Tweak I've not tried 'em all. That's for sure. I don't think he even makes these balls, rather, he finds them in certain things or places instead.So far, in wood, I like the effects of Ebony and mahogany best of all.... having tried Teak, Cocobolo, Zebr... | |
| Best Value in Used Bryston Amps and Monoblocks A good while back, it seemed in vogue to use BAT SS for panels. Maggies included. I heard from more than a few owners they loved that Combination.so perhaps Bryston isn't the only answer... or even the optimum one, given the subjectivity of variou... | |
