| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene @geofkait....You’re welcome!........ :-) | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene I think I'll save my $$$ and stick with copper or silver and a good tight connection and pass on all the Graphene hype. As far as Graphene infused speaker diaphrams, well, I won't go there...Jim | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Going back to the late 70s, early 80s, I took every opportunity to audition as many audio components and speakers as possible. What struck me about the big horns like the Klipsch K Horns and the big Altec Lansing horns, was heir large full sound. ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Can't believe that anyone could really buy into this preposterous notion. Thanks morg111! Back to reality, once more:http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htmOn the other hand, I'm sure glad to be using one of those low DF tube amps and can forg... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? @1extreme I don’t know if my head and ears could handle the shear volume of a live rock band anymore, but wouldn’t mind trying for a while. light Pop, Classic Chamber and Jazz, I think I could handle.@schubert Live String Quartets, I could handle ... | |

| For those of us over 60.. Now, in my mid to late 60s, the one band (artist) that best describes my life, at least at this point, is John Lennon - "Imagine". I'm pretty much tired of religion and politics.For musical enjoyment, I find myself falling back on my old 60s - 80s... | |

| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? My first venture into home audio was back in the mid 70s. Quite a basic Lo-Fi system consisting of a Fisher receiver with a pr. of BIC Venturi speakers and a Pioneer TT. A few years later, while on a road trip, I happened by a Stereo shop and deci... | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound Another very nice, open baffle speaker is the Spatial, Hologram M3 Turbo S. Incredibly smooth open and very musical, with a large and convincing stage. At just under $3K, a real bargain in today's market.....Jim | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? Although I had the usual foray of auto players (a varety of 8 track and cassetts players) aside from adopting my sisters old Magnavox LP counsel, I didn't develop a real interest in home audio until the mid 70s. My first, rather humble system, con... | |
