| Baltimore MD Congrats gents, we are now in second place on the number of posts for Audio Clubs surpassing Cleveland (Cleveland rocks?!?) IMHO, posting on this thread works for me, although I have joined the Yahoo Group Paul set up so I don't miss anything. We ... | |
| Baltimore MD Yes, thanks Sang, your hospitality was wonderful, as was the sound and music. I'll host in February. How about the 17th or 24th?Mike | |
| How to insure shipping large speakers? Just to close this topic, I went with BAX, especially after the quote on the phone was half the price of the web form estimate! And they covered insurance for the stated value. I chose the slowest method and they got them from a snowstorm near Mil... | |
| Baltimore MD Sang, OK, I'll bring the room measurement gear. Like Paul said, if you think it sounds funny, you won't want to "see" how it looks! But we can play around with finding listening sweet spots and possibly adjusting speaker positioning. The solution ... | |
| Baltimore MD I'm coming and per Sang's and other's requests will bring a bunch of speaker cables and most likely my room measurement HW and SW, although I haven't used it much and not in a while. I'd rather not spend too much time on engineering but more on so... | |
| FP screen , +$$$ = better pic - fact or fiction? Just a note when balancing projector vs. screen budget. Projector technology/quality improvement is still on a moderately steep climb while prices are dropping. I'm thinking screen technology is fairly mature (but I'm no expert here.) What I did a... | |
| How to insure shipping large speakers? Thanks, I'll contact BAX for a quote.So far, I am planning on using PilotAir to ship, they are pretty reasonable even door to door. However, they said they wouldn't insure a private party transaction. GRW Products would insure it if a professional... | |
| Baltimore MD "I've been using the gold/silver contact paste recently and don't want to disconnect anything cause you have to clean/reapply/re-breakin everything, one of the disadvantages of using the silver bearing contact enhancers."Oh come on, can't you just... | |
| Baltimore MD Sang, Joe, Paul and Bob, etc. this is shaping up nicely. For my 2 cents, I'm currently going through speaker cable selection hell ;) and would want to do some swapping to get a feel for the personalities of what we can compare. Obviously the rest ... | |
| Baltimore MD I'm in. I don't know that meeting at a "shop" will go over well with the owner, however I'm basing this on a conversation I had with the local Von Schweikert dealer (Stansbury in Millersville.) He knows we may be just kicking the tires before buyi... | |
| Baltimore MD I was also thinking it's time to get together again. Paul, Bob, Mike's, RU ready?!?I could host (Carroll County.) I would be interested in comments on the sound/set up of my system. My next upgrade should be room set up/acoustics, but I would also... | |
| How many more years before cd's become passe? Hmm, when I first saw this post's subject, I thought it was going to touch upon Redbook vs. SACD vs. DVD-A vs. ???Is it time for a better resolution (and theoretically sounding) format to surpass Redbook? Will there be enough sourced program mater... | |
| How hot should a McCormack DNA-225 get? Steve - help! I've lived quite happily with the sound of my DNA-225 for 6 months now. Speakers are now Von Schweikert VR-4jr's; speaker cable is (don't laugh, I'm just entering cable hell!) Home Depot 10-gauge solid copper shotguns made by yours t... | |
| Baltimore MD Happy Holidaze Bawlmore! Can we start thinking about a get together? Fortunately in the last two months, I have upgraded to the point I'm not embarrassed to host a meeting. My system now consists of a Music Hall CD25.2 with Underwood Level 1+ mods... | |
| What to do with dedicated power lines..help please Tuesday morning, I am having an electrician run two dedicated lines in my finished basement/listening/HT room. Currently (pun intended!), my equipment (pre, power amp, AV receiver, CDP, DVD player, tuner, DirecTV receiver, VCR) are plugged into a ... |
