Help my speakers are farting,,,,
In general, unlike us guys women have amazing bodily control when their significant others are present. It's funny when they get too relaxed and "forget" we're there and crank one out hillbilly style. "That came out out of you baby?" 
Help my speakers are farting,,,,
Light a match in front of your speaker. If the resulting flame front exceeds a foot in length, it's time to investigate your upstream components. RFI [Rancid Fart Interference] may be at the root of it. Slappy, you must eat a very natural diet, if... 
Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220
Fishwater, it's great to hear that you've spent a happy year with the VK60.I noticed your virtual system hasn't been updated to reflect the addition of the BAT. Are any other components different in your set up?Also, you list a McCormack DNA1 as p...

Sounds like you had an awesome time Pat! Cuban coffee is something I've never heard of, but now I gotta find out. You didn't mention anything about the lovely Cuban women, or had Barb made sure you were wearing your Preakness Blinders? heheh.

The year is barely over two months old, and Audiogon already has its Thread Of The Year!Great suggestions! 
balance and single ended what I heard

Volume level mystery - can you solve it?
Really Eldartford? Ooops, I'll keep my mouth shut from now on when it comes to the technical aspects, heheh. 
Volume level mystery - can you solve it?
Ahhh, too bad.I'll throw out some hypothetical numbers here just for the sake of illustrating an example.Say, one of you old amps had an input impedance of 47Kohms and the other old amp you were combining it with had an input impedance of 23Kohms.... 
Volume level mystery - can you solve it?
I agree, it could be that running the two older amps in passive biamp may have had the effect of summing their input impedances, which is greater than the single new amp, and thus presenting a different load to the preamp.To test this theory out j... 
Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi?
Damn, even my soapbox is mid-fi next to Marco's. 
Spanish Guitar
John, it seems you've found some great music and have begun a journey of great enjoyment. If no one has mentioned Sabicas yet, make sure to sample some of his stylings along the way. Have fun! 
Review: Prima Luna Prologue Two Tube amp
California sense of humor? What's that?Then again, I'm from Los Angeles, so an overweight, sloppy transvestite walking down Santa Monica boulevard is a daily occurence. 
CD/DVD storage units
Over the last seven years I've purchased three Lorentz CD Cubes for my Dad and he really likes them. They have excellent fit and finish and look nice.I also use some of Wood Technologys' cabinets. While not as well made or nice looking as the Lore... 
Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas?
I have seen those DIY sites when I was considering building a 2.5 clone and not buying the real thing. It's amazing the areas people saw for possible improvements. Quite a dedicated group of people. 
Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas?
Ben, I forgot about that, that could definitely be a contributing factor. As difficult as it is, you might not know until after 2-4 weeks of break in..
