| speakers and cables . . . sorry about this, but one last thing: I just did some cursory searches, and apparently it was "subliminal messaging" related to coke (the cola kind) and popcorn that may or may not have been successfully done back in ’57 to get people at the... | |
| speakers and cables We are in this hobby because we look for the perfect sound. . . . nope; I came to realize long ago that this achievement would be way beyond my capabilities. But there are nights and/or afternoons that I am quite pleased with what my system d... | |
| Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment I guess "affordable" is another relative term. | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To It was a game time decision, but I started the session off this afternoon with Patricia Barber/Nightclub (red book). I bought that one back in the '90s shortly after I bought Cafe Blue (even though, at the time, I wasn't grabbed by Cafe Blue). ... | |
| speakers and cables Update: I implemented the @carlsbad2 method and it works nicely Which is picture #2 of the pictures you posted, correct? Are you still going to try out a pair of "Y" splitters from Amazon just to see if you like RCAs to subs better? For what ... | |
| speakers and cables I think I have a compromised system I am also a member of that club. it’s a glass with dirt on it, an extra layer of dirt won’t make a huge difference That is absolutely one way to look at it. Of course, the other way to look at it is. . . ... | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I also thought of this. I know it’s lame but fairly cheap and maybe by Christmas I can budget for it; it could be nice visuals and a speaker "multiplier". If it could handle it. Douk Audio VU3 Dual Analog VU Meter, 2-Way Amplifier/Sp... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To I had always seen “Shoot Out The Lights” on many greatest albums lists. Got it a couple of years ago at Goodwill for a buck, but I don’t think I’ve given it a proper listen. I’ll do that very soon. AND Shoot Out The Lights is a great sounding ... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To Back in the early or mid '90s I heard a Richard Thompson song on the public radio station I used to listen to, so i went to the CD store and bought Richard And Linda Thompson/Shoot Out The Lights (1982, I think). I remember listening to it a few ... | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I have the same feeling about Y splitters, not very audiophile-ish. But - also cheaper than a box. I have not tried "serializing" subs and speakers. I want the signal to go from my amp directly to the speakers to somehow justify my s... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Old Proverb: The Road To Hell is paved with transformational pieces of gear. | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj thanks for the clarification. It wasn't your fault, I am easily confused. Your explanations are always very thorough. I am looking up Y splitters now on Amazon. @grislybutter , I've actually used 'Y' splitters for something I was d... | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I am sufficiently confused as I try to visualize it with my limited options but at least I am positive you know how it works on your end. My setup - if my Outlaw had worked I think it would be Sorry, @grislybutter , for the confusio... | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. From what little I know about speaker specifications, and this is what I have learned here, 83.5 is a very low sensitivity and on paper would suggest a hard load to drive(?) but on the other hand an impedance that only dips to 5.6 ohms is extremel... | |
