| Profile Picture Thanks for posting this George! I thought maybe it was a problem on my end. When I checked my profile, my avatar still shows up there but it doesn't show up on the posts. All I see is a very thin rectangle in place of it. | |
| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? Remember what teo_audio stated earlier in this thread, "Facts are an agreed upon reality. An agreed upon projection. They posses no reality of their own - whatsoever."Facts are not stubborn things as a noted politician once said, they are irreleva... | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question @will62 Never run different brands or cable topologies when biwiring. You want the same cables for both biwire runs. If not you risk defeating one of the primary objectives of a biwire designed speaker...that of optimizing the function the spea... | |
| Slovakia JJ ECC 802 and 803 tubes. I have had great luck with Gold Lion 12AU7s from Ron Sheldon at Cryoset. Very even sound, good dynamic swing and very quiet. They seem to last forever... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? @rpeluso Lots of negativity here about what the Grammy's have become. If you think back to what it was like a decade or so ago, by comparison, the current event is an angry rant-filled, politically charged spectacle.😞What truly talented artists... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @perfectpathtech I think at this point that prospective TC customers are better off hearing from you rather than surrogates. Some surrogates' statements sound too much like overselling and make potential customers wary.I am not knocking oregonp... | |

| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @mr_m What provoked me to open up my M5-HPs were a loss of output from my subs. Once I played music with lots of deep bass and heard a lack of it I realized the crossover batteries were shot.You may also be right about the batteries charging die... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? @pops A rational choice indeed!🤪 | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? @brf +1 Very true. At least the Grammy's recognized The War on Drugs' "A Deeper Understanding" for best rock album!💿🔊 | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? The Grammys these days are an overt display of the decay of American culture.🤮 | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @bondmanp Be willing to bet you need new batteries in the M5-HP! Your batteries may not be dead but could be too weak to work effectively. The next time I replace mine, I am gonna send Vandersteen two Duracell Quantums. | |
| Multiple copies of the same album? I've bought a number of classic titles on CD/SACD so I can play them in the car (less than optimum LP environment) and so I can load them on my classic ipod. It makes mowing, shoveling, snowplowing much more fun and protects my ears from the racket. | |
| Multiple copies of the same album? @zavato I did that with a jazz CD. Good to know I'm not the only one who has done that! Like you I gave the second to a friend. | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health Clapton is a class act. When asked one time what it was like to be the greatest guitar player on the planet, he said,"you'd need to ask Prince about that" Classy.🎸 |
