| Home made absorption panels..... Drapes work well for me. And the old stand by, bookshelves filled with books are effective too. Only thing is, if you only own a few books, buying a bookcase full can cost as much as a nice amp! | |
| Bedroom Dilema Damn, fooled again by an enticing thread title!Interesting dilemna because even with all the good tube integrateds currently available, I can see the allure of keeping a classic like the Fischer 500c. I suspect you might be sorry if you sell that ... | |
| Help Me Explain Power Cables to my Guitar Friends "Unlike hifi, guitar amps are all about coloring the signal"Huh??!!!To me, audio IS all about coloring the signal in a way I like.Maybe, I'm in the wrong hobby. | |
| I hope break in is true This topic has been beaten to death as long as I've been here which is over five years. It's no wonder a lot of the old timers haven't chimed in. There have been lengthy debates among engineers and physicists on Audiogon about this. We all have ou... | |
| Integrated Amp that goes well with Triangle Celius At CES a few years ago, I heard Triangle speakers matched with Unison Research Unico hybrid integrated in two rooms. The sound was lively yet smooth, if not a little on the lean side. I think the Krell would bring out any brightness the Triangles ... | |
| what is the purpose of a stereo system ? I think all 6 points apply to me in varying degrees. As in any of my hobbies and interests the tangible item itself definitely has an allure, but the activity and participation is what brings me happiness. | |
| What sonic gains from 300B tube push-pull config. As a first time tube amp owner [845 SET] I'm wondering the same thing myself. I was reading about another 300B amp [can't remember which] that was designed for push-pull. Up until then I hadn't heard of that before, all the 300Bs I'd read about pr... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman I visited a stereo shop in Orange County, So Cal a couple years ago and the salesman insisted that everything I owned was esoteric since it wasn't made by the brands he carried such as Audio Research, Magnapan or Pass Labs. He was really out of to... | |
| Is This Sub Powerful Enough For This Room? Hey Mitch, if any sub has the 'nads for a room like that it would be the DD18, but as you fear you may find that operating with just one nutsack isn't enough and two huevos grandes will work better in that gi-normous room.Set up the DD18 when you ... | |
| Whatever Happened To SAE? Old Towne Mall?! Dimensions in Stereo? I remember that place! Old Towne used to be such a happnin' place thirty plus years ago when I was in high school.There are still two places in Redondo Beach right next to each other. Systems Design Group and... | |
| Whatever Happened To SAE? Roger Sound Labs had their own line of oak audio stands. Twenty five to thirty years ago I thought it was the coolest, classiest stuff I'd ever seen.Remember Paris Audio in Torrance and West LA? I used to go in there all the time and stare at the ... | |
| I hope break in is true With some pieces I have heard little to no changes even after months of listening and other times I wondered if my gear was doing the whole William Hurt/Altered States metamorphosis because the changes in sonic character were so fickin' wild and e... | |
| Stereo stand with adjustable shelves I'd always wondered about the Salamander Synergys when I saw them in ads or on the internet. They look nice, but are they sturdy enough? Two things always impress me when I see them in person. They're much nicer looking live, and they're way sturd... | |
| Whatever Happened To SAE? I grew up in the South Bay and remember when Licorice Pizza, the Wherehouse flagship store and a great little stereo shop were all on the corner of Sepulveda and Hawthorne Blvd.I'll never forget one Saturday in the late 1970s walking around that a... | |
| Whatever Happened To SAE? Cal Stereo, I remember that place? I forgot where it was located though. |
