| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? Just jumping in here a moment to share my tube pulling method-I use a piece of Saran wrap to grasp the tube.It gives you a firm non slip hold.Not when they're still warm of course:)Pull straight up and you may have to wiggle them gently.Looking fo... | |
| Audio stuff that is impossible to install right (or stay installed right) My brilliant idea was to make custom speaker stands for my heavy monitors using two metal stands fastened together top and bottom.It took way more fiddling and cursing than I expected:( | |
| Low End Bliss Beautiful little cabin☺Polks tend to be a little bright.They are good for movies though with crisp dialog.Give your pupper a pat from me.Dogs and music are both #1 in my world☺Enjoy! | |

| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? I know exactly what you mean.I've responded to threads asking for opinions/experience with one component or another and have the op get upset and defensive if my experience differed from his.I never criticize people for having different tastes.Jus... | |
| Upgrades for my new speaker upgrade Truth!I have a basicly square room and GIK treatments have helped tremendously. | |
| Are todays digital recordings engineered to sound best on a smartphones? Some of us have systems that are very revealing of not so good recordings.Some of us have sensitive hearing or (me) hyperacusis(spelling?) so that overblown frequencies make us cringe.For me I can enjoy certain music on lower resolution devices bu... | |
