Getting into tubes?
I GOT MY ROGUE 88 FOR $949 ($1500) BRAND NEW, FROM CHRIS AT AUDIO GALLERY IN SACRAMENTO, back in June. If you want to spend that much, contact him, and ask if he has any left (or if he knows any other dealers who are selling thme at/near cost). My... 
prevent hardening of speaker surrounds
To clarify something, here, I agree that the suspension of the speaker is of paramount importance. However, it's the rear suspension on cone speakers (the spider, a woven fabric) where the primary burden lies, with respect to how the cone behaves,... 
Severe Imaging Problem
The more resolution you hear, the more you want to hear. At some point, you do have to tweak in other ways, besides placement. Beleive me, you have not done everything you can do with treatment. 
Severe Imaging Problem
Like I said, a lot of trial and error. I can't see or hear the system, so I can only be so specific. I too have spent many long hours, and even fractions of an inch make a difference for the midrange and low treble, with regards to how they image ... 
Question from a Poor Pass owner
I told you this already, David. Are you somebody that turns off every light in a room the second you leave, even if you are coming back to that room in a few minutes? My PS 300 uses 500 watts or more all the time, but I'm more concerned about the ... 
Severe Imaging Problem
What I meant at the last was, if that isn't the case, then there's a mintute possibility that there could be something happening upstream, as suggested by Tom above. However, I don't think this is a polarity problem, because that would be more sev... 
Severe Imaging Problem
David, there are no simple solutions that will actually give you what you want in your room automatically (it'll always be trial and error), but I will say this. For one thing, ANY room asymmetries (due to system position, or room shape) will ALWA... 
prevent hardening of speaker surrounds
Well, if you are so interested in seeing this solubility table for Armor All, why aren't you asking them for it? Also, I did ask the speaker manufacturer specifically what their thoughts were before I applied Armor All, and they informed me that t... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
I wasn't referring to anything other than 1x speed, nor was I referring to MP3. Only a fool would even waste time burning a CD-R at over 1X speed, IMO...........................Joe: You know what? I don't feel like explaining why. If you make lots... 
prevent hardening of speaker surrounds
I didn't think Armor All was classified as a solvent. I thought it was classified as a protectant. I have applied it to the rubber surrounds of two of my woofers, with terrific results. Most audiophiles do seem to not like Armor All, and much of t... 
INTERCONNECT-advice from knowers!
I am very glad that any comments which I have made on here, have had a positive effect. I have said before, and I'll say again, that reviews of cabling seem the least credible and the least translatable, to the reader, who then might use that revi... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
No, I have found that they do not sound the same to me. I've not tried every possibility yet, however. 
INTERCONNECT-advice from knowers!
I bought mine used from Audionut. 
hdcd recommendations jazz or classical
Oh, that's good to know!! That is my favorite jazz recording of all time. 
Anyone else tried the FIM Gold series?
By all means, let's break the rules and discuss me. You all are allowed to break them, but I am not. No, now is not the time for me to post my thoughts on this cable. I am not mature enough to have thoughts on this cable, but am apparently importa...
