| Ferrofluid questions. Just curious: How much are new tweeters? Can't be more than $100 each unless out-of-production. How about an upgrade? these speakers must be 20 something years old -must be better tweeters out there. Finally, feasible to use an ultrasonic cleaner ... | |
| What should I do? And don't forget to tip the dealer (offer, at least) as mounting cartridges as a PITA. | |
| What was the best vintage LP you have ever found and why was it so? 10 years old walking down the alley north side of Chicago. Some old timer must have kicked and building landlord through their stuff In the alley. Found huge stack of 78s from years gone by. "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition", "Bocha-Me-Boc... | |
| Little Richard!!! RIP!!! An original to be sure! R.I.P. | |
| What should I do? Take it back to dealer and have them reinstall in the original rig. If it sounds great again, you'll know your system is the problem. | |
| Is room treatment a science? I keep it simple: 1. Walk around your room and clap your hands. If you hear echoes, put something (I use foam panels) on one of the opposing walls. 2. Put panels on the "early reflections" areas close to your speakers (to kill the early reflection... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? Well I tried my "mini swarm" today. I brought my 12" Polk sub (HT sub) into my music room, hooked it up and (sound of air coming out of balloon) my B&W sub wouldn't turn on. I was doing some electrical work this week (throwing breakers) and th... | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age My system is so good for me now the only changes I'd make: Upgrade my subwoofers, Upgrade my speaker cable for better bi-wire and take the plunge for streaming with a decent front-end and server. That's it. | |

| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? @shakira - Nice response! Simple, clear and to-the-point! I like that... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? It's just me and the sweet spot fuzzy. Going to give the "swarm" a try first. | |
| have you ever bought stereo without listening first @lobinero - If you are making a major purchase from someone on the verge of retirement. Definitely ask if he is selling the business to anyone (who will support his legacy equipment). If he isn't, ask for schematics and parts list so you can provi... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? How does this sound: My B&W "12 inch" ASW-650 plus a spiffy Polk 12 incher recently purchased for HT and the four six-inch woofers in my B&W 804d3s? Is this "swarm" enough? If it works, I could swap the B&W for HT duty and get another ... | |
| 6H30 tubes vs the others I've been using the 6H30, in pre-amps, amps and integrated amps for 20 years. never noticed any microphonic anomalies (used with and without tube dampers). | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? I'm pretty sure a single 15-inch SW will give me what I want. But being retired, cost is a consideration. In my smallish (12 X 13) room, I could use the tube SVS as a plant stand and it doesn't take up much room (as well as being affordable). Than... |
