| So That's Where my Hazelnuts Went! Back in the early 80's while we were building our house we lived in a 50' mobile home. I was trying to turn the dial on my Sansui 8080 and it was stuck. I took the cover off and low & behold there was about a dozen pieces of dog food on top ... | |
| Earplugs at concerts back in the day I started shoving tissue in my ears 25 years or so ago at concerts. Then about 20 years ago I had forgot some at a Heart concert at Universal Studios. Huge mistake not running to the toilet and grabbing some TP and shoving it in. Huge. Loudest... | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? With all the above advice, I believe I'm going to find as many songs as I can on Tidal and make me another playlist. Should be a hoot!Panzrwagn: I didn't think anyone but me listened to Dan Hicks! 3) Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks "Where's The M... | |

If you use Jriver there is a FLAC stream link as well.Plus there is the super cool HD picture slide show. The pictures are from listeners sending in. Most of the pics are phenomenal. Plus #2 is you can download hours of... | |
| Why is black so popular for components? I'm going with "it makes all those nice lights pretrier" theory. Darken the room and all the indicator lights look like they are floating in mid air. I actually put adjustable brightness LED strips hidden above the system and when they are on r... | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Infinity Rennasiance 90 spekers. Got a pair of spare EMIT tweeters just in case. That case has never come up. Had a spare pair of speakers "just in case". That case never came up either so I offed them. | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? I put some thought into it a couple years back and my opinion hasn't changed. I have some older Infinity Ren 90 speakers that dip fairly low in the impedance curve.Excerpt from my old post:I may try the Dueland 12 gage. I just feel the 16 gage ca... | |
| How to physically move large heavy 100lb amplifiers easily (up and downstairs) My amp is 100Lbs. The face has no protruding buttons etc and the back has 2 serious handles. Once I got it to the bottom of the stairs, I stood on a stair step, swung it between my legs and up, one step at a time. When I got to the top I did th... | |
| Audiophiles must be careful with their remotes, vs. items on ebay. Once I was so pissed about all the remotes (prior to Harmony all in one) disappearing, I went to Home Depot got the baddest Velcro I could find, cut a 2 foot square piece of plywood and stuck like 6 of them on the plywood. Didn't bother to sand ... | |
| Any Audiophile Quality Internet Radio Stations Out There? Radio Paradise makes the worst recorded music sound really really good. Dunno how they do it, but they do it well. Absolutely amazing.Djohnson: Thanks for the radiobit link! Super cool.-John | |
| Best amp for Wilson Sabrina When I was searching for an amp I seriously considered Simaudio. But when I looked at how close the speaker terminals are I was darn near terrified. They are crazy close. If one wanted to use bare wire, one little errant strand and POOF it woul... | |
| Audiophole Music - Not well known I like listening to "Radio Paradise" as they play some really obscure music and the sound quality is top notch. I have discovered many new artists that seem to fit your search. They have a couple different channels to choose from. Good luck &am... | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend Really nice job! Looks awesome & functional. I did the same as uberwaltz, using threaded rod. Got 6 foot lengths of 3/4" threaded rod with black oxide on the rods, nuts & washers. Wife likes it, so everybody's happy. | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Where's TESTPILOT when you need him?-Answer to OP question- "Because they didn't have a tape measure". | |
| Legacy Cardas Quadlink Sorry I haven't heard the two to compare, but I use the 5-C and have stuck with them for many years. I had swapped them out for Golden Reference and went back to the 5-C. These are balanced only, I do not have any speaker or single ended. I'm t... |
