| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? When I was a kid I cared about sound and not what speakers or any of my stuff looked like. Now I do. I want attractive speakers in my living room (the only room fit for sound in my home). My wife did not like one of the speakers I had in the past ... | |
| Graphic equilizers? A graphic equalizer is a Band-Aid that will never stop the bleeding. Unless you have a horrible room it is wiser to fix the problem at its source. Try other speakers and/or other electronics with the speakers you have. | |
| Retail pricing in classified ads Buyer Beware. Its up to you to research and avoid those misleading sellers. Also, sometimes the mags get it wrong and that can be a hassle. The last amp I sold is quoted in the last issue TAS as $1200 but it actually lists for $1500. It pays to ch... | |
| Why vinyl? Just a couple of additional thoughts. When CD came out it was "the death of vinyl". Well not so fast. There has been a rebirth of interest in vinyl and I think it was initially fueled by the abysmal sound quality of alot of the early CD releases. ... | |
| Why vinyl? I also miss album covers. I was talking to a friend the other day after getting an email about the "Best Concerts" thread. I had been going through my LPs and album covers evoke a feeling that I have never felt looking through my CDs. A lot like t... | |
| Woofer pumping - what gives? Seandtaylor- Did this occur with all records? | |
| Woofer pumping - what gives? Do the woofers "wobble" when playing stuff that has no low bass? If so its not feedback. Im guessing Sktn77a has got it right. | |
| Subwoofer placement questions Your biggest concerns will be how they are loading the room(placement) and phase. Dont think you will hear "lag time". | |
| What's the best dirt bag speaker you have heard? Stevemj- You must have found a pair of RCA speakers that have Lineum tweeters. Too bad that the best deal Lineum found was with Radio Shack, they make great tweeters and should not have been overlooked by serious manufacturers. | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? Anyone who is insulted by an offer that is only -20% should ask rock bottom and list as "firm". If you list obo you have to leave some room for negotiation. I have responded with "too low" and I have ignored stupid low offers. Dont think its rude ... | |
| Do I need more power? The latest Sparks present a 4ohm load, in which case you may be clipping your amp. Maybe your thread title should mention the Sparks. You may alert other Spark owners and get advice from their experience. | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? Read my lips, You wrong doers will not get away with shooting the deputy! As for that incident in my past when I shot a deputy, well that was a youthful indiscretion. (I was only 44) | |
| Speaker break in? Some may say that break-in is a placebo effect but it is not. I am not one to believe every tweek that comes along is for real, especially high dollar cable hype. But I would not have kept my Totem Ones if they had sounded the same after break-in.... | |
| ACI Anyone? Most speakers are designed to play in open space, not from a cabinet or wall recess. I am not sure if the ACI Veritas were intended for wall placement but they include an equalizer and they may be your best bet. The only other speaker I can think ... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? I think Oliver Stones' next movie that will get to the bottom of all this. |
