To some people, AC/DC sounds musical; others think Johnney Cash is musical; there are those who would call classical musical . . . and possibly the same applies to the quality of sound that d... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? It sometimes almost reads as if there is a prevailing school of thought here that is that if you don’t have an acoustically treated room it just doesn’t matter what gear you put in it because it is all going to sound bad.

| Help ? with upgrade to budget system Holy necro-thread, Bat Man! You're going from a 960ft3 room to one over 11,000ft3. You're going to need a much bigger speaker to fill that space at even moderate levels. You're also going to need a speaker with controlled directivity - horns.... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? My "listening room" (such as it is) is small and highly flawed (and if it isn't highly flawed it is only because of total luck) and by everything I have read, the level of my electronics totally exceeds the acoustic capabilities of the room.

| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. "Looking for my lost shaker of salt" ranks among my Top 10 of deeply moving literary moments involving a reference to sodium chloride. Rest in piece, Mr. Buffet. But there's booze in the blender. . . . | |
| Happy Holidays and Your Favorite Tips? @mahgister , what/who is your picture of? For some reason it always makes me think of the Lou Reed "Rock And Roll Animal" CD cover. | |

| Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET Keep us updated, @moose89 , and let us know how it all works out. By all accounts that I am familiar with, Dennis is a good dude and backs his products. | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp I haven't approached them with an offer lower than the posted price, but good idea! That's hwo I wound up buying the SLP90 I alluded to, and he readily accepted the offer, so I think I should have low-balled him even more. Ha ha. | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp . . . to relate my own limited experience, I got into separates in '94 and it was an immediate entrance down the vacuum tube rabbit hole. Except for the preamp. Anyway, since then, I have only owned three different tube amps (I still own two of ... |
