| Why not the piano as a reference for bass Thanks All! I could not be more pleased with the results of this thread. Great facts, expressed practical experience combined with differing informed opinions. Throw in the consistent civility to top it off. I look forward to reading posts as... | |
| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. I have always lived in small towns. Like, thats John because he is driving "A". People are way more polite and considerate when both you and John don’t pass each other like a jerk on the hiway and end up at the same work parking lot, store whate... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? I'd like to suggest some female Rockers. Halestorm is more pop bedroom wall poster writing but driving. Call Me Crazy is a good tune. Dorothy is a great voice and songwriter. Slash thought enough of her talent to make an album together. I l... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Kenwood would be the name for me. In 1984 I graduated a Navy school in Idaho Falls ID. A $2000 bonus was mine for the extra work. On to the Fleet, finally. I knew my CJ7 would be my only personal refuge so I promptly drove to the one car audi... | |
| Longevity (our gear not us) @ghdprentice Sorry for the lack of clarity. If the failure issue so seldom arises why is the possibility weighed so heavily in the selection process? | |

| Rick Derringer R.I.P @mrdecibel I just looked up those amazing speakers on HI Engine. Whoa, those look FUN. There is a freshly restored pair for sale in TN for about the 1976 asking price. | |
| Room Acoustics and Speaker Placement Been down the one sidewall road. I noticed the bass dropout most of all. | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? Axpona had a record attendance of around 10993, up 5%. I am 61 so don't be offended but judging by the pictures of attendees our time has passed. I did note that the obligatory AED in each room had silver wiring to match my hair. So yes, litera... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54276973197_80d2b5de32_w_d.jpg @dynamiclinearity Yes my DCM Time Frame 2000s are TL terminated on the front with two ports, possibly one for each 8" woofer. The pair dig So Deep even in my apartment. In my ol... | |
| KT88 Tubes @dogearedaudio Thanks! Dog on couch here enjoying some Dead. | |
| KT88 Tubes I am new to tubes but not troubleshooting electronics. Occasionally in my career I have used the swap method on some similar adjacent instrument only to kill that one also as the component itself was the issue. Is that a possibility with a bad t... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Taylor Momsen. Only women to front a band with seven #1s | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? I thought the 6 1/2 height was a typo for 8 1/2. Evidently not. It's nice to know that Gandalf brought the Shire some modern gear ;) |
