| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? There is a lot more in the world to worry about. | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Anyone who psychologically needs these speakers really needs the pretty little speaker wire trestles. Anything less will make your soon-to-be ex-friends worry that you are actually taking you meds. | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading I solved this problem by using a second,matching amp and preamp to drive subs. With a simply constructed DTDP switch, I defeat the sub crossovers to add harmonics to the terrible recordings, while increasing the bass without throwing anything out... | |
| Somebody knows these speakers brand and model? Actually, with the bent metal feet, they were called Pregnant Penguins. They were the first boxed speaker with geometric time alignment, pushing B&W to the forefront of speaker research. All the magnets and voice coils are in the same plane,... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? If you really think that getting your speaker wires of the floor helps, just try separating the wires from its mate. If inductance matters, then the back and forth electrons in paired wires would make a lot more difference. How about a poll? Wh... | |
| Heavy Metal Anyone? Is your source on Mark Knopfler, Roy Clark, or Chet Atkins the same as your source on Djanggo Reinhardt, who died in 1953, just a bit before the introduction of Heavy Metal?Don't worry though. I used to believe what I heard, especially when it coi... | |
| Heavy Metal Anyone? millercarbon: There is something new yuou should try. It is called google. If you google "heavy metal" and "Django Reinhardt", you would discover that heavy metal is believed to have begun no sooner than the late 1960s and reached a mass audien... | |
| Heavy Metal Anyone? As someone who has identified as a musician, I beg to differ. Heavy metal is full of fast triplets to hide a lack of prowess. I do listen to some, but I never heard a HM drummer who compares in technique to Buddy Rich or Terry Bozzio, nor a gui... | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? The Advents are exceptional in our history, but their predecessor, the Acoustic Research AR series (1-7), had the greatest impact. With their newly invented sealed woofer, followed by their newly invented dome mids and tweets, they revolutionized... | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? From my first speakers, Fisher 3 way 12", I switched to large wooden Advents, then bought a second set for my Fisher quad receiver. Soon, I had a Crown preampand Phase Linear 400 on these stacked Advents. The wood ones do sound a bit better. For... | |
| Chemically Altered Audio AYFSM? Listen to the music. Don't Worry. Be Happy. | |
| You just won a $5,000 audio gear only gift card Newer, but used, B&W 803's or so, to update from my 803's, and maybe a new CD player. I would also like to get my KT-917 tuner back, not because it sounds better than what I have, but because it is pretty and easy to use. BTW, I am also usin... | |
| i just want everyone to know.......... I use a 30 amp dedicated circuit. It is in my ex-laundry room, which now is my equipment room. The speaker wire runs through the wall behind this stuff. The transformers in my amps can draw 2000 watts, so a standard 15 amp circuit is out of the ... | |
| Chemically Altered Audio My homemade formula, which really does help blend everything into a coherent sound, consists of single malt scotch and very furry ganja buds. Sip one and smell the other. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Al Hirt at Carnegie Hall: Just happened into a fresh copy. |
