| how old is too old when buying speakers? Aside from abuse, THE part of concern is/are the capacitors in the crosover. They, reportedly, have a ten year life.Peace-on-Earth | |
| Where have the long-time regulars gone? That's the thing about freedom: Taking the good with the bad. The owners of this site decided freedom was "Too risky" and turned it off (censorship). The fire burned bright for awhile (remember the 60's?) but, as usual, the restraints of reality s... | |
| What speakers with Audio Research VT-100 Start with the Thiel 1.6's. The Totem Hawk would probably be a good match also. Stick with first-order crossovers. | |
| Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes. If your room is "on the slab" (concrete) you probably don't need spikes. From what I've read, spikes are best used on floaty, loose (i.e. wooden) floors or to provide acoustic isolation for us apartment "dwellers". | |
| Help On Dunlavy's Hearing the Dunlavy SC-IV's the first time was one of the most paradigm shattering events in my listening career! Setup included: ARC VT-130 & LS-2B, CEC disk spinner, Theta decoder and Dunlavy wire (can't vouch for A/C conditioning, etc.). No... | |
| Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers? I bought Bedini for $150 and sold it for $50. I don't miss it... | |
| Why vinyl? I'm with you. I love CD's and the digital technology. Once the music is numberized, the possibilities are unlimited! The best vinyl may have an edge (over redbook), but the future belongs to digital. I think vinyl persists because digital takes th... | |
| What's wrong with my Adcom ACE-515? These take 30-60 seconds to activate -are you waiting long enough after turn on? Also, I have one of the (two) AC cords plugged into the unit itself (can't remember why -s'been about 12 years since purchase... I suggest reading the owners manual. | |
| Auctions - why bid early? I cancelled an auction when it got no bids. Got messages asking "what happend to the auction?". Sorry but I don't do auctions for your "entertainment". If you want something, lock it in with minimum bid and then you can watch it till the wheels co... | |
| Your Favorite Austin City Limits Don Williams on PBS "Soundstage". Finest performance of live music. Truly, close to perfection. WHEN CAN WE HAVE THESE ON DVD???? | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? These are great speakers (remember, no bottom octave). They let me know that my "Tiny Island" SACD was recorded first to analog tape whereas my "reference speakers" (more than twice as expensive) didn't. If the rest of your system is up to them, t... | |
| Check out pics from Sweden Hi Fi Show Yumpin' Yimminy! What bad english! Had to stop reading... -was tying my brain into knots! Some pretty cool gear, however... | |
| Sand or Lead shot Due to its toxicity, I wouldn't mess around with raw lead.I've heard about coated lead or maybe it was brass shot. In any case, no sonic benifit is worth the risk of dealing with raw lead. | |
| Coincident Tech's Partial Eclipse vsRevel's F-30?? Coincident speaks can be had for SET and non SET alike. Just tell dealer which kind you want. If you're not using SET amp, I'd go with Thiel 1.6 and powered subwoofer. The sound is tops and leads more easily into multi-channel. I've heard the part... | |
| Oxidation and bare silver or silver coated wire??? I'm not a metallurgist but I've heard that oxidized silver actually conducts better than new copper. |
