| 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... | |

| 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... | |

| 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... | |

| Remembering Phoebe Snow on Her Birthday July 17, 1950 Thanks for the great story and the lyrics from Harpos Blues. One of my wife's and mine favorites. I was so very lucky to hear her play a couple years prior to her passing out here at the Lancaster Performing Arts Center in Lancaster, CA. We we... | |
| Goodbye paypal! Czarivey: Thanks for the pre-paid credit card idea. Brilliant. I despise Ebay insisting on Paypal. I recently purchased an item and the seller & I agreed I could send him a money order. It was close to $500. Everything went perfect and n... | |

| Opinion on Yamaha Amps The Yamaha MX-1 was my first separate amp. It was a great piece & I still regret selling it. If you can find a nice clean one it would be a good day indeed. -John |
