| Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ? In the early 1970's, I ran stacked Advents (tweeters adjacent), powered by a Phase Linear 400. These speakers (and stacked was popular), were flat enough to not add too much of anything anywhere in their frequency range. A decade later, I ran th... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? gano Do those Mick Fleetwood speakers adequately reproduce the horribly nasal sounds from Stevie Nicks' voice? | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? They sound like disappearing Green Paper. | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna jumia That sounds like my old pal Ken Fisher, the then 1970's B&W and Audire rep for Florida. He would walk into a shop, tell them how and why their stuff sucked, and set up his Audire's and B&W's, then sit back for you to be amazed at t... | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes russ69 I agree about that Lexicon Cd player, but this was not the only piece this company bought and put in their own box. That OPPO CD player was $500. Lexicon put the entire unit, outer cabinet and all, into an aluminum box and raised the pri... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander I have always added off the shelf stuff to improve my vehicles: Pipes, ignitions, supercharger (S2000), and suspension improvements. For somewhat normal use, I do not believe in touching the inside of an engine. Exceptions have been smoothing o... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander rixthetrick OK, My Supercharged car was a first generation 1988. It was not available in the states without T-Tops, although there were a few people who did add the equipment on their own to the non-blown car. I lost to one at the Dog Wood Gra... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... AS Martin Luther said a half-millenea ago, "Reason is the enemy of faith". If you have a true belief, no amount of facts will change your mind. | |
| User Error Disaster Due to 100% user error, involving testing and shorting out a transformer on a preamp while it was plugged into my two amps, a second preamp, and CD player, I sent 120 volts through the entire patch cold array. No one wanted to repair anything, be... | |
| The Placebo Effect There is also what I call The Inurement Effect: WE get used to what sound the best about our system, learn to concentrate on that, and repress the bad parts I think that anyone who has more than one good system experiences this. Yes, parts burn... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s I discovered a trick for this: Buy the television at Best Buy, and get the maximum tern on the warranty. When it fails, after the third trip to you house, including the initial diagnogsis, and return with the correct parts, they buy if back for ... | |

| Where are the young audiophiles? Youngsters do not dream of owning good sound. Their video games do not require it. Recently, a kid I know came by my house for something, and asked about old my stereo, B&W 893"s powered by Audire electronics (Phono Head amp, two Diffet 3 pr... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander millercarbon I had a flexible car that I autocrossed at Porsche meets in Tennessee. The track was a highly banked oval with cones down the straights, and a big drop off into the center X section that made it a figure eight. My Supercharged MR2 ... | |
| I am getting some new tubes for my amp, and I want to do a 24-hour burn in. How? 450 degrees for three hours. Bast every thirty minutes. |
