| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? I have a van den Hul Grasshopper IV that did that. The naked coils and cantilever went all floppy. I found I could judiciously push the assembly back into its housing and all was well for a few plays. Then it went floppy again. I sent it back ... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. They can hear 60s and 70s music (well early 70s anyway) for another 50 or 60 years if they want to. We've only got a couple of decades left.At best. | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? Headbangers should not post on audiophile sites.Try Kerrraaanngggg! | |
| ORANGE Fuse rejected I took out my stock fuses and painted them orange.AMAAAZING sound quality improvement.I'm over the moon.The orange paint cost $3.95 It is a mid-orange, not too dark.If you send me $20, I will mail you the rest of the can. | |
| Upgrade thoughts and reccomendations Pointless post. That's why so few posts.Your whole system is up for grabs or any part of it.We have no idea what kind of sound you like.If I think the Bigwatt is a wonderful amp, what use is it to you to know that? | |
| THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME It depends on size, substance and intention.Did you buy the items that you sold just to sell them?Or did you just sell off a few items you had upgraded?If the former then it's a business.If you are doing that then make sure you claim the losses on... | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Just the once I agree with Miller.Novelty and change are massively over-rated.Too many people are inclined to fiddle for the sake of fiddling."When was the last time you moved or adjusted any component in your system or room?"- Save for two major ... | |
| Why the cost increase? Almost certainly a bubble caused by speculators.All markets are like this - driven by greed on the upside.Don't worry, as soon as one speculator thinks the price will fall, he will sell. Other speculators will see he has sold and they will sell. ... | |
| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? Have you checked the working of your spectrum analyser with different speakers? | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? “So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences?"Pretty much totally.Only Miller thinks he is totally objective.And he is wrong.He denies the results of many many scientific experiments. But then he denies science... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! "I have been a lifelong proponent of integrated amps, and tube integrated in particular for a good 30 years now."So you're only 30? | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! If you want to improve Moabs, don't start with the crossovers. | |
| Power cord choice? Hi bigtwinWell said and you are absolutely correct.You've done my job for me. I've replied to all power cord posts with what you say, namely electricity travels miles down cables and wires that don't belong to us and we cannot influence and some ... | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? Miller, no-one can miss your shameless promotion of these DIY back yard speakers. All they offer is the most drivers per $ and poor use of plywood. After all this time why don't you stop. We've all heard it 1000s of times now.On mid-range, Mart... | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. No Miller, the question is how drunk do you have to get to buy $200 coloured fuses. 'I liked the pretty colours'? |
