Not Sure If This Is OK Here, But Here Goes
  i've always wondered about transactions using paypal f@f. why do they let you do that-they make no money! Friends and Family is intended for what it says. If you use it for buying/selling things then you are violating the terms you agreed to...

new Allison Krause & Robert Plant Pressing seems noisy
@herman , The record is noisy because of the conditions it was subject to during it’s manfacture. All the records pressin that run were subject to the exact same conditions. If the stamper was bad, all the records that come off that stamper (1000... 
new Allison Krause & Robert Plant Pressing seems noisy
Buying 300 other records says nothing about this one. do you even take the time to think about what others have posted or just go spouting off with your profound wisdom? I opened with "I can’t speak to this particular record" and you come back ... 
new Allison Krause & Robert Plant Pressing seems noisy
No, millercarbon is correct, they will all be like this.   How do you know that? I can't speak to this particular record yet, I will have it soon, , but I've purchased at least 300 new records in the past year or so and except for a few have ... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
@herman, impressive horn system. What is your crossover point to from big bass horn to the next?  It's a passive XO I take it from seeing just one amp. I should put that this in the description, The mid horn rolls off naturally about 200-2Khz. ... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
Herman, Isn't the sound affected by the large objects sitting in the bass horns?   well, I suppose it has to have some effect, and I haven't done a lot of experimenting , but it sounds excellent as is so no desire to so... until now since you... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
horns can be bright, any type of speaker can be bright if not properly impemented. The example of Khorns with a Crown DC300A is a perfect example of how NOT to implement them.  The idea that horns are always bright as some have opined is ridiculo...

The Most Cost Effective Tweak
Speaker placement is important, very important, but getting it down to a fraction of an inch is a wasted effort.Went through this same crap with this joker name of Ron at work. Miller you are so full of it, etc etc. Party one time he decides to ... 
The Most Cost Effective Tweak
Speaker placement is important, very important, but getting it down to a fraction of an inch is a wasted effort. Unless you put your head in a vise your ear to speaker distance will vary by a lot more than that. I’m all for attention to detail , b... 
DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point
My point is very simple: excellent sound component manufacturers know how to test all components, including parts used in product’s assembly, and final product test, in production flow to ensure every unit “meets the spec”, and therefore they ha... 
Fuses
I don’t believe I just read another fuse thread that said all the same things that every other fuse thread has said.Guess I will never learn 
DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point
In the audible frequencies for the example I provided, ESR is insignificant. in your opinion it is insignificant. You acknowledge that R is not a factor in the relevant equation in your opinion this is the only relevant equation your choice to ig... 
DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point
The formula for capacitive reactance is: Xc = 1/ 2Pi.f.c This is a fact and as an engineer you know this, or should. There is no 'R' in the equation and therefore ESR is not a factor. Mr. Lemon, this puts you at the top of my ignore list. Jus...
