why don't they get it?
Is it that you cannot understand her different perspective, or that you chose not to accept it? Not trying to be a smart-ass, but people are free to chose which preferences they like. With education (like your description of the quality of the uni... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
People, my review of the VR-4 SR MkII speakers is now finished and published on Dagogo.com My conclusion? They are cream. 
'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$?
Blindjim, LOL! Hilarious! I can 'see' your point! 
'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$?
Blindjim, yes, for sure. I think you'd likely make a more lovely finished product than I could, sight or not! When I built my HT I did the rough carpentry work, but had the carpeting, drop ceiling and drywall finishing (everything that meets the e... 
'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$?
Blindjim, another factor to consider is once you've spent your coin on the tools, it'll take you a while to master using them. And then there's the finishing of the product, stains, polyurethane, etc. When we moved into our first home w. beautiful... 
Why is there so much PS Audio stuff for sale?
MrT, It's easy; you GUESS when stocks are going down to buy, and you GUESS (yes, of course, with all your technical analysis at hand...)when they're going up to sell. Anyone can do it, that's why I don't recommend it. I was being facetious. As the... 
Why is there so much PS Audio stuff for sale?
I have made a chart to benefit the audio community so that we will all know monthly through the rest of the year into January '08 which component will be questioned as to its preponderance in the classifieds:April - YBAMay - Acoustic ZenJune - Car... 
Flat Speaker Cables
Your post is technically curious; "under hardwood floors"? Or, do you mean under carpeting? If it's going under the hardwood flooring you don't need flat cable. I'm thinking that you wouldn't want to put the cable between the subfoor and wooden fl... 
Synergy - how to get there
Dice the word: Syn= "with" or "together" and ergy (or ergon in the Greek) = "deed, action, accomplishment, work"The term is justifiable in describing the fact that certain components simply sound better together than other combinations. The concep... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Blindjim, those are intriguing questions. I don't feel I have a right to probe the company regarding issues unrelated to the review component. I think that the manufacturer would consider it a violation of the tacit agreement to focus on the produ... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
I think Albert shares the frustrations expressed here. I don't have insight at this point into all the dynamics behind the scenes at the company. Albert himself mentioned the $100m figure. My review is not scheduled yet, but will appear on Dagogo.com 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
I would like to put in a word of clarification about Albert. I am currently reviewing the VR SR4 MkII. I have tried to contain my comments only to technical helps so as not to cause any issue of non-disclosure. I have made no comments on my person... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Audioblazer, You are creative in your thought of trying a short speaker cable instead of the Data-Link! I would first speak with VS about it! I would not go hooking up cables from bottom cabinet to top without consulting them just to be safe! Yes... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
The Data-Link is to be replaced at the soonest possible convenience. The speakers are designed to be biwired. For best sound it's imperative that the Data-Link be removed. The owner's manual states clearly that the intended purpose is to biwire or... 
I got a little rig what do I do now?
Hunterg, we're just havin' fun! Apology accepted. You're not the first who'll stick oversize foot in mouth, nor will you be the last! It's all part of what adds to "entertainment value" in the 'GON! the ProAc Studio 125's would also be very nice! ...
