| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? The thing that I find disturbing about this isn't that it might be bogus, but that it might be true. Think about the implications if the wall plate can affect the sound, what about everything else anywhere near your system. What about the wall stu... | |
| Audio Physics ...Bright or forward? I agre with JeffJones and Bojack, if you think they are too forward now, they will probably just become more irtritating over time, not less. This has been my experience, too.I think you make a distinction between bright and forward, which is impo... | |
| Need Copper Cables for 18ft Runs: Bang for Buck Try twisting the Anti-cables. I had long (35')runs of 12Ga magnet wire (like Anti-Cables), and didn't like the sound . I twisted them together by tying one end to a screw eye chucked into a drill, clamping the other ends in a vise and letting it r... | |
| Don't let this happen to you It has been interesting to read other's takes on this. It seems there are different etiquettes at different locations. I can see the appeal of ahving an enthusiastic, uninhibited crowd expressing their appreciation whenever possible. After reading... | |
| Are reviewers biased towards equipment they own? I think this has to be true, otherwise he wouldn't have bought the piece in the first place. Disregardoing the notion of reviews based on advertising $$$ for a moment, I think this is why you have to understand the reviewer's preferences and exper... | |
| Don't let this happen to you If I hear a Yee-Haa in the middle of a symphony, I'll know Albert Porter's in the house, and read Vv's post!!!!! | |
| Why does my laptop annoy me less than my rig? I have noticed the same thing. And I don't think it's funny. I think part of it is what you mention - whether your expectations are being fulfilled. But there's more.Maybe a good clock radio doesn't attempt much, so doesn't fail. It has no tweeter... | |
| Anyone spend more on their system than their car? Thanks, all. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone.Maybe it would be good to give up the car AND the house. Imagine the equipment you could afford then, and how it would sound without any annoying room interaction! Just a couple tarps to keep it dry, and... | |
| Tube Characteristics Tvad - is the review available on-line anywhere? | |
| Is Martin Logan goin to Big Box stores? Like I said... | |
| Static Shock? I'm not sure keeping the window open is such a good idea, as you're just letting cold dry air in, and letting warm moist air out. The furnace doesn't take any moisture out of the air. What happens is the relative humidity drops when you heat air u... | |
| Is Martin Logan goin to Big Box stores? I have a friend who's husband is a best buy manager, and he tells me high end is coming to Best Buy. I forget which brands, but they were some of the big, established high-end approved brands. What I think that means is that a lot of high end manu... | |
| Goldman Audio....Audio Done Right I visited John once a few years ago, invetigating a pair of used Virgos he had. I didn't buy them, but he seemed like a decent guy. At that time, he was demoing stuff in a long narrow living room. I think he was working on a sound room in his base... | |
| Anybody heard the DeVore Videlity Gibbon Super 8? I heard them at one of the Las Vegas shows last year. The thing that really stood out in my mind was the speakers' extension at the extremes of the audio spectrum. It reminded me a bit of some of the very best car audio systems I've heard - not th... | |
| Interaction between Sub XO and Amp? If your preaqmp has 2 oputputs, run one to the fulrange amp and the other to the sub. That way, there is no risk to the full range signal. This of course, assumes your satellites can handle full range sound well. This will work best if your preamp... |
