While I do have to offer my compliments to the original poster for a fun idea, it was inevitable that the thread would descend into argument. Why? Well, speaking as someone who has been involved in the hobby for over 40 years, I've watched the lun... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I understand rabbits are directional. You might check that. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I left out the great Immanuel Velikovsky in my last post. Legendary, wonderfully entertaining read. Like a lot of the ads for cables and fuses and tweaks I see, great stuff and deeply amusing. You just have to realize that you're in the fiction... | |

| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? cd318---Interesting take. I think a lot of the defenders of the absolute lunatic fringe bonkers tweaks that you see in the forums are like my old card playing buddies. Back in the day when I had the, uh, exotic dancer living at my place, I had a l... | |

| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? Pairs of dissimilar speakers? No. Pairs of matched speakers, sure. Double Advents are well known as are double pairs of KLH-9's. Double Quads are another well regarded option. Ever consider that Acoustat 2+2 are really doubled 1+1? Nobody thought ... | |
| Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :) Hey Erik,Have you given Finlaggan a try? You might consider it. | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? 1969----There I was, a High School Senior listening to KLH-9's.I knew I had to get a pair.1973----At a yard sale I picked up a Magnavox 175 chassis for $5.When I realized that it was better than my Marantz 8b I started building. | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! Well now I've always found a good bottle of single malt will improve things for much less than the prices under discussion. | |

| Budget hi-fi and vintage audio gear I've picked up lots of really good receivers at garage sales for $5 to $10.Lots of them. My friends know where to go if they need something for essentially free. If you don't need the tuner section, don't use it. Receivers are generally cheaper th... | |
