Equalizer for McIntosh preamp - advice, please
Rives said. "The problem is that physical room treatment doesn't work very well below 150 Hz."That's an intereting one to chew on too. Too put things in perspective, that's about 2 and one-half octaves up on a piano, no? Again, I have scratch for ... 
Equalizer for McIntosh preamp - advice, please
Thanks for the answer Rives. Not really disagreeing with me as I had not come to an opinion on it. As chance had it, it was a statement I had read today right before I saw this thread so I threw it in. Us dablers take a while to reach conclusions ... 
Equalizer for McIntosh preamp - advice, please
What do you gents think of the following statement:" There is a basic flaw in the concept of 'room eq', in that the dips and peaks are not a signal amplitude thing, but a time delay thing. A particular frequency will cancel itself out at nodes jus... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Max: No: we don't advise wearing the "Cup" with the Cryoed Smoking Jacket. Some of the club members have picked up a.m. stations and a few have have experienced rather uncomfortable "ground loop" problems. It's a bitch to be on the cutting edge!I ... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Drubin:I like your idea but they say men think about sex/girls every 5.3 seconds so I'm afraid that might skew your results. Maybe he was listening to the MITs during a high point of the cycle.(hehehehehe) Anyway, I liked your post above better th...

MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Drubin: There is no room for that milk-toast, tree-hugging, NPR attitude around here! What are you thinking? Read the title to this thread. It's about LOVE and HATE. None of that Luke warm BS. And good friend Detlof, if we are going to kick folks ... 
The "coolest" looking system?
Yes!! The rumor is true. November is long underware month and my audio group will be putting together a package deal of "under components" if you are interested. They will be audiophile quality, fully treated and broken in (don't ask), and with a ... 
The "coolest" looking system?
They list at $29.95 but with the tratment and shipping it's$6,345.95. The synergy alone is a bargain. They are left over from my audio club's last group purchase. Don't let the price scare you. It feels quite musical...we like to think of the jack... 
The "coolest" looking system?
Funny you should ask...I happen to have 20 of these.... Beauties cryogenically treated at a reduced price.SincerelyI remain, 
The "coolest" looking system?
Max? "Post-modern"? I'm Cro-magnon.Here's my idea of a good cheap date - Topless too! Look at the knobs on that one! Matches my living room too! It's not so much that I dislike the Shanling. It's just that I would feel obliged to go hog-wild and ... 
The "coolest" looking system?
That's funny isn't it. Too me the Shanling looks like a whore with too much make-up. Like being around a person who is trying too hard. That's ok Max. I have never had any taste anyway!SincerelyI remain,
