| Help Wanted: 3.1 HT for Small Room Thx Phasecorrect. Grabbed a Vandy Vcc1 center here, which is supposed to be a good unit, and does not run afoul of Jim Smith's "no horizontal MTM centers" rule (though the room is so small, off-axis not much of an issue). Now for receiver, sub, an... | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? Depends on your definition, I guess. I propose we reserve "riff-raff" for any "persom" who uses "additude" for "attitude." That way, I'm in the clear.;) | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? "Riff raff"?!How quaint! I'm not sure I've ever seen a real person put that in a real sentence, with a straight face. ;) | |
| Need your recommendations for amazing recordings Two unusually fine recordings:Valerie Joyce, "New York Blue"Medeski, Martin and Wood, "Tonic"Weirdly, both with fine Hendrix covers.John | |
| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears Are you still suffering earbleeditis after your placement sessions, Robpriore? Maybe we spoke to soon, and it's times to cut and run.John | |
| integrated amp suggestions solid state I use the Pass INT-30A, their class A integrated, into 92/4ohm speakers. The combo is very sweet, and I love the amp, but I could imagine people wanting more grunt into lower efficiency speakers.Very worth seing what you can do with Mark at Reno H... | |

| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears Is this a fairly straightforward speaker issue?To repeat myself, yes, IMHO.That said, Map and Newbee are wise to suggest some placement tinkering, which can have impact more dramatic than big investments in gear. It doesn't cost much to spend a co... | |
| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears IMO, if your speakers have metal domes, they stand a very good chance of being the culprit. As ears age, they can become more sensitive to edgy highs; if you've had the speakers for a while, it could be you getting older, and not the kit, that exp... | |
| which cowboy junkies cd? I think whether you like the Nomad series will depend on whether you like the later ("Miles from Our Home" and after) space rock sound, or the earlier ("Caution Horses") folk rock sound; Nomad is definitely the latter. I have "Renimen Park" and "D... | |
| LED vs Plasma, 60" vs 65" What about energy consumption with plasma? Are any of them energy star rated?John | |
| Accessory Wall Wart Removal Ideas? Try Chris at BPT. I'm sure he'll have ideas.John | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? I'm with Sthomas, too. Can we give negative feedback for people who offer "as new" or "I can't find a flaw" or "rare" pieces for 15% off (a wildly inflated) MSRP? And we can start heaping abuse on them as "highballers" or maybe "dreamballers." ;)John | |
