| Sansui 9090db powers up but no sound I have a Sansui 8080 and the answer about the jumpers is brilliant. The 9090db & 8080 are extremely similar. One thing that happened to mine is the selector switch for inputs had issues a few times. We are talking 30+ years ago, but I belie... | |
| RIP Arnie Nudell By the sound of my Renaissance 90's the man and his crew put their heart and soul into their work. Not only design and build great products, but actually test each unit to ensure it performed as designed. You will see crossovers with different ca... | |
| Duelund 16g Speaker Wire Question I bought the same wire a few months back after using Monster 2.4s (I think that's the callout) for a dozen years. The Monster has hunkin' momma wire size. Looks like #8 or so. I had no issues with it, but as you know we all want to spend some m... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I like Randy's idea. Put on top of 1/2 dome in Yosemite. Now that, would be the ultimate high end. -John | |
| 14 Year Old Female Drummer They are all special to me. | |
| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? My Infinity speakers can drop below the 4-ohm range from what I read quite a few years ago. I guess their really large Kappa 9.1 series 2 dip way below, maybe even to the 2-ohm range. The Infinities make an amplifier work that is for sure. I co... | |
| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? Interesting stuff above. It just seemed to me bookshelf size speakers could use smaller gauge whereas if I had Wilson Alexandra hunkin-momma size speakers they would need a lot of juice. I may try the low side of the Monster cables on the woofer... | |
| Ear plugs for live musc. Yup the blond version. The Wilson sisters have been playing loud for 40 some years. Dunno how they can still hear. There is a line from Good Morning Vietnam where Robin Williams (Adrian Kronaur) asks a GI what he wants to hear. The GI says, "I... | |
| 8K for a one-time listen? These guys are marketing geniuses. | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? BDP24: I thought I was the only one who listened to Dan Hicks' "Striking it Rich" album. A true gem if you like those kind of tunes. The Hot Licks vocals make it one of my all time favorite albums.-John | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Not to hijack the thread, but jut to verify: Is the Duelund 16awg wire P/N 81415? I just may break out the two "C" notes and give it a shot. Been using old Monster M2s bi-wire for 15 years. Easy on me now...-JohnNow back to the cable rants &a... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters There is a line in a Genesis song, "....and you kill what you fear".Maybe it's the have not's wishing they were the have's.-John | |
| Looking for laptop Windows 10 for music only. I really like a laptop for ease. They are so powerful now & I can move it any place with such ease. I even want a very small screen size. I dig my Samsung series 9 just for that reason. Perhaps another one is in order. It has an SSD hard ... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? At 60 years old I thought I would know it all. There are a bunch of things above that I actually have not even a clue as to what they are about. Maybe Huey Lewis' line "I want a new drug" came to fruition? -John | |
| Looking for laptop Windows 10 for music only. Some great ideas. As usual Al as posted an very thoughtful & informative response. Been digging through the net hoping to enlighten myself a little further. Once again my mind has been douched with an onslaught of information. Makes me wa... |
