| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore I cannnot be bothered with endless discussions on particular cable superiority regardless of the kind of cable it is. * - listening to modern rock and roll and whatever millennials call music today... * - No Effin rap please, or hip hop, or Nine... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. I remember her and have always liked her music. Tonight when I was playing the trombone, I cued up a few of her songs to remember her and expand my list of familiar songs to play. I have always loved her voice and always thought it tragic that her... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I am perhaps a unique position. I like classical music and often when I am in the mood to listen that is what I want. I live on the fringe of what may be the best classical station on the east coast. I can nearly receive it live over the air on a ... | |

| Speakers better without subwoofers? Crossover and synchronization issues? What do you do @knotscott - I agree with everything you said, and one thing people tend to forget is that when the main speakers can run full range, its probably a good idea to use most of that range on the main speakers, unless you are having problems getting l... | |
| How Many Times Can You Split A Subwoofer Signal Using A "Y" Connector? @mitch4t the answer depends on the source output impedance as to how many you can drive, but my thought is this, IF you are using room correction for a swarm of subs, each one will need its own phase and delay setting and if the receiver only has ... | |
| What do you know and how do you like the RCA 5963 Black Plates? I wish I understood the appeal of tubes...but I really just don't get it, even my very 1st transistorized amplifier I liked better than any tube amp I had heard at that point...from then on it was just technology that had lived well past its prime... | |
| what is more popular silver or black face plates it amazes me all the reasons people have for their choices. As I am seriously considering the purchase of a Marantz HT processor and it comes in both colors, I am strongly considering the silver just because I think it looks better and is less lik... | |
| Subs? I'll throw in on this one...SVS makes a whole line of subs that rattle the rafters. They come with very thorough software application to help integrate into your system and if you choose correctly you'll find they offer very low distortion and eno... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore Let me recount my list of things no longer interested or bothered with: 1. Those who insist their 1000 dollar cables sound better than my normally priced ones. I will never find out if they do because I am not foolish enough to squander my hard e... | |
| soft dome versus hard dome tweeters I bought two pair of ADC 303AX speakers a while ago and upgraded both of them with soft dome tweeters and rebuilt crossovers and it totall transformed those speakers into something that was quite listenable and even desirable. One pair served in m... | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? lets hear it for cannabis...it is partly how I survived college...and it may be part of how I navigate old age. We will see. Right now, not at all. | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? Thank you for posting your thoughts...I feel your frustration at a profound level as I just hate what marketing departments are doing to obfuscating real understanding of what a given product actually offers. Now when I evaluate a new product I lo... | |
| Preamp with separate volume control for each channel? I have no clue if this idea works for you, but check out the Emotiva PT1 or PT2. Either one will give you a decent DAC, preamp, and pretty darned good balance control that can be set via the remote control for pretty accurate settings of channel b... | |
| Preamp Output Completely Different with Tube Amplifier versus Solid State Amplifier Maybe you have discovered that Solid state amps are just cleaner and with essentially zero audible artifacts...I realize that is an unpopular opinion but you have presented the evidence here in a fairly pronounced way that this is so. I understan... |
