| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? @andynotadam , would that be the live at Paris recording of "A Case Of You"/Diana Krall or the studio recording? | |
| To all our Veterans here, Thank You! And I thank the VA for the colonoscopy I get from the VA every five years. | |
| New Dennis Had amps @buellrider97 , thanks for sharing that. I always got the impression that Dennis was a good dude back when he was running Cary, and although I am still listening to Cary products, the company doesn’t seem as good without him | |
| To all our Veterans here, Thank You! Aw shucks; it was nothing. But you are welcome anyway, @jerryg123 . | |
| Dedicated Electrical Thank you, @millercarbon , last question (for a while) it was either here or on AA, that I read something to the effect of ’most powered subwoofers have such crappy power that they feed crap back into whatever circuit they are on, and therefore. ... | |
| Dedicated Electrical Thank you, @millercarbon ; to have enough outlets for all the gear (amp, pre, digital source, sub) on the one dedicated circuit, are there any acceptable alternatives to connecting an outlet to the existing outlet that I am going to use as the ded... | |
| Dedicated Electrical immathewj- Your old vintage components are made that way because that’s the way pretty much everything was made back then. Thanks for getting back to me on this, @millercarbon , the M&K sub is old (25 years or so) but not vintage, and the ... | |
| Dedicated Electrical Muliple lines runs the risk of ground loops. Even if this is avoided every wire is an antenna bringing RFI into the system. So one single dedicated line is the way to go. @millercarbon is that the reason that a couple of my components were manu... | |
| Share your ‘I MacGyver’d it’ solutions Different colors of nail polish to paint bus-fuses. | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I hear you, @7452jf , in a previous life I spent many years hammering rivets and trimming jet engines without adequate hearing protection. The aviation business was very good to me (except not so much for my hearing). | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time @acefactory , it was "Girl In The War" that got me paying attention to him. \I fully agree - Josh Ritter is an outstanding wordsmith! | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? No, but my wife seems pleased with her gifts every time a new component arrives.... @jomonhifi my first"big buy" about 30 years ago cost me a new refrigerator (we still have it, believe it or not) and an upgraded wedding ring. (I THINK she st... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? It would seem crazy to anyone not in the hobby, but, to me the amount some spend on cars or other things, like a kitchen renovation strikes me as crazy. @larryi absolutely! | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? People ask "How loud will it play"? They are like the people who check the speedo on your car to decide if it goes fast. @jeffseight going on 30 years ago I bought an entry level tube amp & some other entry level stuff, and a friend I work... | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? I’ve always been more of a 2 channel stereo fan myself but I can definitely see myself moving over to Home Theatre sometime in the future. A large TV without high quality sound is far less immersive. @cd318 it was back in the good old days of V... |
