| Vaulting Cassette Tapes and have a final question. Brad, the distance from one tape to the next is too great for the small amount of magnetism present in each cassette to affect the next. However, the same cannot be said for the many layers of tape wound within each cassete. In addition, magnetiza... | |
| Does something happen when speakers face each othe Yes, this is possible...even likely, if the rear speakers you mention are floorstanders. If this is the case, you have recreated and old room treatment tweak. The non-playing rear speakers are acting as bass traps. | |
| Wharfedale Emerald 93 Opinions Take the comments from Scottht with a very large grain of salt. For starters, Wharfedale is not a speaker line but a brand, with MANY different lines. Those different lines vary dramatically when it comes to sound quality. As Mwilson mentioned, th... | |
| High End HT Slappy, I'm with you on this one, but think about this...I'll bet that many of the components in truly high end HT setups got their starts as components in high end 2 channel setups. By that, I'm talking about the trickle-down effect where, as the... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Butch Walker: Left of Self-Centered. Former bassist for Southgang...yes, the hair-metal band from the late 80's/early 90's, but forget all about that. Totally different sound as Butch is frontman now. Unique and surprisingly good voice, wry wit an... | |

| Upgrade Dilemma-- DAC + Transport or One Box? My solution to the same problem was to go with a cheap dvd player and put my money into a really good one box cdp, then to upgrade the dvd to a decent universal player (Marantz DV-8300/Integra DPS 8.3/Pioneer DV47ai) when the prices settle or new ... | |
| Compiling info for Audiogon FAQ's Sean,Excellent suggestion. I was a lurker here for over a year before recently becoming an active participant for exactly the reason you discuss. I didn't want to waste people's time asking questions that had been asked a hundred times before. The... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Cpdunn99,Sorry for the delay...out skiing for the weekend. I'm in PA, but I learned about Penfold's from an Aussie friend who lives very near one of their wineries. That's one of the great things about good wine...the taste and the memory of that ... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? That's an easy one...nothing goes better with female vocals than a warm fire and a glass/bottle of medium-to-full bodied red wine, especially on a snowy day like today. Recommended flavors for casual enjoyment: Holly McNarland "Home Is Where My Fe... | |

| Earplugs for conerts? I'll second what Danvetc had to say, with a twist...I worked for several years, on and off, doing concert stage work (sound, lighting, security, etc.) and had to be able to clearly hear not only the music, but also my two-way radio, the stage mana... |
