| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... On my local Craigslist, I saw a listing for a NAD tuner, 4225 if I recall correctly. I looked it up and it is about 30 years old now. I think they are asking $400 for it. I’m not sure if that is a reasonable price??I don’t have a tuner and not s... | |
| Visiting audio stores? What I see amongst my neighbors is checking on each other and offering help. Too bad our media and government don’t take the same approach of “how can we help and encourage” instead of “who is most to blame for this mess?!” I haven’t seen anyt... | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? 2 and 1/2 way speakers? What is the 1/2? | |
| Power Amplifier Longevity I know nothing about electronics, but a couple of months ago I gave the Sony AV receiver I bought new in 1991 to my nephew to use, along with similar vintage Jensen speakers rated at 8 ohms. Before I gave it to him, I looked inside and cleaned it... | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? Correction: The drivers are 2.5 inches, not 4. | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? Parts Express/Dayton Audio has a speaker kit (also available as a finished product) that features an arcing array of 4 inch drivers. I wondered what the advantage of all these little drivers could be, but it might be as millercarbon noted, that s... | |

| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone Wow, I guess you could say that my whole life is cluttered (I blame my mother, who always told me, “Save everything. You never know when it will come in handy!” . . . . “Yes, Mother”. It was my father who showed me that saving too much, such th... | |

| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone This makes me think of the guy who commented here, after seeing my set-up, that I had too much cluttered together. I took that as meaning the clutter was visually unsettling, but having read Erik’s comment, I’m thinking now that he might have bee... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? Tim, I saw that you mentioned the “crawl method” for determining best position for subs. Does that involve moving the subs a little at a time and listening to the sound each time? i.e., being on my knees crawling about with them til I find the sw... | |
| Just curious — Crown xls 5202 amplifier I read that the amp is Class D, but I don’t know how they get such power generated from such sparse innards (when compared to my Parasound A21, for example, which is rated at 250 watts RMS into 8 ohms). | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Believe it or not, I found a used CD of Cole Porter and have been listening to the music of my parents and grandparents. Kind of relaxing. | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? Sure. I plan to put the subwoofer to the right on a ledge that is part of the fireplace, just to the right of the second door. I will run the cable for that beneath the first door, where the carpet ends and vinyl flooring begins. I will tape it... | |
| Squashed(?) LRS Hleeid: $650? I was under the impression that Magnepan’s cost thousands of dollars. I spent several hundred more than you did for conventional towers. Enjoy your new speakers — looks like you have some nice equipment there. I hope to hear som... |
