| Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating? I can't remember the last time I had amps that actually fell within the recommended range --- below the upper limit, anyway -- for the speakers I was using, and I've never had a problem. | |
| Why are so many albums poorly remastered onto cd So many of these remasters are meant to grab someone's attention -- on an iPod, in a car, on a boom box, over the stereo system in a barroom -- not to be appreciated by an audiophile sitting down in a quiet listening room. Just as our daily politi... | |
| Interesting Ads "I actually stopped selling on Audiogon because I got so tired of some of the people giving me their whole life story."Too funny. | |
| What's up with that? Because Audiogon is in the process of killing the goose that laid the golden egg. The owners won't admit it, perhaps even don't fully recognize it, but their changes to the site will ultimately spell the end for this community. Soon enough, this t... | |
| McCormack REV B upgrades. Better than a new amp? I've had stock McCormack DNA amps, and ones modded by SMc Audio. As great as the stock amps are -- and they are plenty great -- the modded versions are right out of this world. Be advised, "Rev B" and the better "Rev A" were the terms that Steve M... | |
| Rumors about a new Ayre integrated amplifier? Have you checked AyreRumors.com? | |
| B&W speakers toed in or fired straight out I'm with you, Antwan. Despite the manufacturer's recommendation, I preferred my B&W 805 Signatures pointed straight ahead rather than toed in. True, this was in a couple of pretty live rooms, but that's how I always ended setting them up.-- Ho... | |

| RIP: Doc Watson I grew up listening to rock and roll -- and only rock and roll -- until I heard a record by Doc Watson. Holy-moly! Learned then that it wasn't only rock that rocked. His music will most assuredly live on for a very long time. | |
| singers similar to Lucinda Williams Some have found Mary Gauthier to be similar to Lucinda. Others hear echoes in Kathleen Edwards. You may wish to check them out to see what you think. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 If you ever really liked Springsteen but had more or less given up on his ever returning to form, you'll be more than pleasantly surprised by "Wrecking Ball." After so many missteps that it was fair to think that the Boss had fallen not only from ... | |
| The stupidest power cable question ever Thanks for your responses -- I'll keep on playing around when the mood hits me. | |
| Long cord from Power Plant to amplifier? Thanks, Stanwal. | |
| External Wireless drive for iTunes I've got mine plugged into the USB port on an Apple Time Capsule. Works great, too. | |
| sub playing by itself I used to have a similar problem, which I was able to fix by changing interconnects. I won't claim to understand radio frequency interference or shielding or much about electricity, even, but I'd look to the interconnects first. If you can't swap ... |
