| sub in the fireplace That chimney would make a helluva transmission line, wouldn't it? | |
| sub in the fireplace If they use a downward firing sub, be sure not to install it upside down. This would scare Santa and if he lands on the spikes it will surely be a bag of coal for your parents. | |
| music you cant live without Classical: "Ports of Call", "Mephisto and Company", "Bolero!" all on Reference recordings. If Tam o'Shanter from "Mephisto" doesn't shake your entire room, you need better woofers. Jazz: (Duke Ellington) "This One's for Blanton". Male vocal: "The ... | |
| How to reduce CD Transport noise? I don't hear anything from my Theta, which is sitting on Vibrapods. | |
| Psychological audio, proceed slowly Get a bag of some product best used in a water pipe and a very large bag of Oreos. This combo helps any system, regardless of cost. Or so I'm told. Also helps old Cheech and Chong movies to become much more hillarious. ;>) | |
| Help re: DVD coax out The answer to this question lies in your handle "Justlisten". All you need is a digital cable, if you don't already have one, to try it both ways and compare. Since you have a DAC, you probably have a cable. If not, you can get one on A-goN for ab... | |
| The Canadians that visit the site Got a question for one of you Canadians, eh? If I were to drive up to PQ from New Hampshire to buy a used piece of audio gear, what would happen when I got to the border on the way home, eh? (Sorry about the "eh" at the end of each sentence - just... | |
| 1960s Amps and Preamps A JBL Paragon recently brought $43,000 on E-Bay! To add to Alberts list, if you had heard Quads with Ionovac tweeters driven by a Marantz 8B or 9's in triode mode... We really haven't come all that far in 30+ years. | |
| Power Strip vs. Line Conditioner I have a dedicated 20 amp outlet with a 14 outlet Vans Evers plugged into it. Everything is plugged into the Vans Evers, including the amp (Hafler 9505 DIABLO), powered woofer and the Acoustat interfaces. This amp sounds better this way, so one ne... | |
| Power conditioner with remote? Kitch29: Good idea! Oh, wait a minute, how about live performances such as "Hell Freezes Over"? All that applause would probably drive it nuts. Don ;>) | |
| Theta Gen V owners Balanced Va just got listed at $1450. Helluva deal, Tim. I wouldn't pass this one up if you can swing it. Don | |
| Help me Please??? Biz: There are nicer ways to state this. Aaron has just bought his first highend amp and probably can't contact Classe nor his dealer tonight. Let's not come down on him with both feet, lest he think all 'philes are hostile to newbies. | |
| Theta Gen V owners The "a" mod was $495.00 on the Theta dealer price list of November 10, 1995. It is a significant improvement and involves a new PLL circuit and analog filter. You should probably buy a unit which is already a Va as that price may not be the same i... | |
| I have a tube amp question????? A friend of mine uses a 17 watt/channel tube amp to drive very inefficient speakers. He knows this but they sound so good at low volume that he can't bear not using this amp. If the amp you have your eye on is a real steal and you can afford it, g... | |
