| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I tend to agree with Charker.But there are many choices out there for anyone interested, like always, from the cheapest mass produced garbage to the biggest and most expensive "high end" gear. VEry few who like audio probably pay all that much att... | |
| Triangle Comete EX, Comete 30th Anniv, or Trio? Good question.I have considered all three as an upgrade for my 15 year old Triangle Titus XS speakers someday.Triangle sound I have heard is pretty distinctive. Very fast, transparent and neutral, similar to planars. High end can tend towards bein... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Even "bad" music sounds pretty good on a good stereo. Every little bit helps..... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "The thread that refuses to die! Will it survive to 1,000 responses? What is the record?"We're in the middle of a "cliff-hanger", hoping to find out what happens in the end. Like "who shot JR?". | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg,In general, I do not advocate people open up their expensive gear and make a tweak in the interest of better sound unless they really know what they are doing. Accidents happen, and there are many other much less risky ways to tweak for better... | |
| Fuses that matter. Hopefully, people listen to AL in that that is really the thing that "matters" most with fuses.How different ones in good operating condition sound is a distant second IMHO. Lots of other ways to tweak ones system without putting it at risk IMHO. | |
| Small Speakers For A Large Room... OHM Walsh 3000 or 5000 are designed for a room that size. They have smallish footprint like monitors but are floorstanding so no stands needed. WAF is very good if the style in general is not an issue. They will fill the room with sound. I'd recom... | |

| Visualize the music.... BTW, today May 29th, is the Rite Of Spring premier's 100th anniversary . Happy anniversary! I would have loved to have been in the audience when it premiered. A pivotal day in music history for sure! | |
| Visualize the music.... Holds my attention like Astronaut Bowman going through the star gate near the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey did. Where did Stravinsky come from again? :^)Makes me anticipate and be better prepared for the next bars of music coming up before they ge... | |
| Why does most new music suck? For classic rock lovers that are looking to branch out, one of the best places to start is internet station Radio Paradise. My other favorite internet station to help broaden musical horizons from a broader roots music perspective other than rock ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? ITs mostly just the culmination of what started back in the day largely with Elvis, The BEatles, etc., ie popular music is now all about money, not just mostly. Also increasingly visual these days given that music alone does not sell as well as it... | |
| New lease on life for a pair of Ohm F's Well, the options are out there.1) rebuild what you have if you can find someone to do it right for a price you can afford2) Dale Harder rebuild or new drivers3) OHM upgradeIf it were me, I would not dismiss the OHM upgrade option until I did an i... | |
| Why does most new music suck? "people who think new music sucks are not exploring music enough, there is plenty out there."Most popular music is more of a fusion of styles these days. You hear it more and more even in perhaps the most mindless forms like dance music. Its a goo... |
