Problems with U.P.S. I wish you luck, and hope you are a lawyer. | |
Why has Netflix gotten greedy? Baiting and switching isn't part of capitalism, it's part of dishonest business practices. | |
801 matrix-speaker cable I've not heard your 801, but try MIT. | |
Best A-D converter I can use my SBM-1 anywhere, and enjoy recording nature, and human sounds. I recently recorded a Thunderbirds airshow. | |
Speaker Cable Recommendation Sol, thanks for the support! I've found that either ic's or speaker cables can make a lot of difference, as well as AC cords. Those aren't in series with the audio signal, but thay are in series with the current supplied to the component, so their... | |
Worst Music of All-Time Cracking one in two is not easy to do, I've done it once with AOL's CD ROMS... | |
How Flat is Flat? Personally, if I had to use no room treatments, I wouldn't set up asymetrically, but would diagonally (going from a 45 degree angle out from a corner in the room). I've done that many times in different rooms, and it always works pretty well (with... | |
Speaker Cable Recommendation I've tried Analysis Plus Oval 9 for a while now, and think it's the worst sounding cable I've ever heard. I don't care what the reviews say, they're dead wrong about this one. Kthomas, try the closeout MIT Terminator 2 from Audio Advisor, for only... | |
How Flat is Flat? The AES standard room assumes ALL first reflection points are damped, but it doesn't say how to damp them on the Cardas site. You need to damp them with ASC tubetraps, as well as putting them at least in the corners behind the speakers. If you hav... | |
phono pre-amp I like my Musical Surroundings Phonomena. It's supposed to be otherworldly with optional battery power supply. I hope to get a battery supply soon. | |
BEST HEAVY METAL BAND I wish I could have seen Van Halen back then. | |
SF Assemblage ST-40 tube amp? Interesting story, Harv. | |
Theta Miles CD player I feel that the Resolution Audio CD50 does it all, and then some, especially balanced. The Miles only uses 18 bit DACs, and the CD50 uses two 20 bit DACs in dual differential mode. I'd put mine up against anything that doesn't upsample. | |
need speaker mod/repair help You know it's blown, so remove it. Does it say a name other than PSB on it? If it only says PSB, I would try ordering an exact replacement from PSB (forget about the dealer, unless PSB won't sell you the replacement directly). | |
Worst Music of All-Time I couldn't agree more! I mean, I like a lot of modern "rock" and "alterna-gobble", but these "boy groups" have got to go! And I like to look at Britney Spears (she's 18 now, so she needs a jolly good Rogering, from me eevery night...), but gee whi... |
