| Should there only be one company making gear? Does it make any sense for people to be hostile toward one another because of their choices of stereo gear?No. There are so many other things for people to get hostile towards one another about, like the color of their skin, their religious or pol... | |
| Should there only be one company making gear? Why not just call the company "Big Brother"? You'd still have your arguments though; Which speaker's better, the Grand Orwellian Rhapsodys, the Winston 1984's, or the O'Brien Conformists?!?Marco | |
| Funniest sales pitch Here's the eBay listing for the famous wedding dress guy. It broke an eBay record with over 6 million hits by auction's end! You can find articles about him online doing a search under "ebay wedding dress guy"Marco | |
| Funniest sales pitch Bigjoe- there was some guy on eBay a while back - perhaps he's still doing it - who was offering to 'host' an advertisement on his bald head! I forget whether it was a tattoo or temporary thing, but the price was pretty steep as I recall. By far t... | |
| Funniest sales pitch Quitting the hobby! (HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA)Wife chopped dick off when she saw the bill for these speakers - need money to have doctors sew it back on! Holding it on ice till these are sold. (Now c'mon, you really expect us to believe... | |

| Best transport for redbook and HDCD? The Muse Model 9 Signature (version 4) is both an excellent DVD player, AND a damn fine CD player to boot. You won't need your stinkin' DAC, but go ahead and use it if you like. Muse has an upgrade program as well. If you have the bucks you could ... | |
| Name 1 Cable in your system you could not live w/o I'm with Rex, but I'd add, take away pretty much any one of my power cables in my one-source system, and it sounds pretty lifeless as well. Absolutely on the AU24's too- wonderful wire!Marco | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response Gumby - Yep...the WAF finally got to be too much at home and I moved that system to my studio where there's more space. It improved the soundstage with much more room for the Scala's to breath around them. But the bass suffers, per the thread. My ... | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response X- seems like you are using the stiffer variety of PE foam. I would have guessed the more squishy one is the one to go for as it would seem to offer more decoupling effect. Here's an online U.S. retailer with a description of the different types ... | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response Hey X- You forgot the mayo and mustard! Where do you buy PE foam? That sounds like the same stuff Newbee was recommending that they use on hard floors - otherwise known as anti-fatigue mats...is that what you mean? Albert, I seem to recall seeing ... | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response Thanks for the suggestions so far. Tom - I only lease the space so structural renovaitons are out of the question, otherwise I'd address that. I may still ask the owners, but the other problem there is the expense. Floor area is over 1400 SF and i... | |
| Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ??? I feel your pain brother! I got a pair of RCA interconnects recently. Paid some large coin for these suckers. Came in a Bubinko wood hand-carved box with velvet lining. The cables themselves are thicker than John Holmes and a bit longer too! But g... | |
| Where do I go from Eva Cassidy? Swampwalker - Does she do that with Nick Drake too? Damn, I feel your pain! That's cold! Marco |
