| The Amp Quits Agin -- Am I Missing Something? Sounds like a plan. Many thanks. The thing's not set to bridged (yes, it was the first thing I checked, all the while asking myself how, sitting in a room by itself, it could have switched itself to bridged but checking it none the less). I'll hav... | |
| The Amp Quits Agin -- Am I Missing Something? Ugh, as I suspected. My hope is that the channels are on independant fuses and that one of them went on me -- here's to hoping for the simple solution. Haven't checked them yet, but that's going to be the first (and likely the last) place I look w... | |
| Fatigue Subjective??? Of course it's subjective -- but focusing on whether or not it is subjective is like saying that green is an inherently better color and therefore everyone should paint thier houses green, inside and out, and if they don't like it who cares becaus... | |
| Best Female Rock Group Have to admit, got a friend who's also a freak for women singing (who I don't see but once every few years these days, the bum moved to Chile) but for near on ten years going, one of the first things we clear up whenever we talk is whether we've h... | |
| can you use wd 40 to lubricate ? Asked a similar question a bit ago under the heading "Source Selector Fix-It Tips" and got some excellent replies. I think it's here http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1014251672&read&keyw&zzselector. It did me right. | |
| Any one else have this complaint? I feel your pain, and my Thiel 2.3's likely a lot lighter than those Avalons. A huge pain in my ass and, if you ask me, an idea that falls within the realm of too clever by half. | |
| Replace headphones or add headphone amp Well, I've got a pair of the HD 600's and a pair of HD 45's (yes, that's right, bought with allowance money in the early 80's) and it's the difference between a porche and a little red wagon with one broken wheel, or possibly a big-wheel with a mi... | |
| Pioneer DV 37 Question Yea, I'm afraid that I have to report that I got much better sound from a dedicated CD player than my DV-37 also. Originally, I was comparing it to an AH!Tjoeb 99 (with upgraded Seimans tubes) and there was no question that I preferred the Tjoeb. ... | |
| Headphones, or Speakers??? Hey, I heard the Orpheus cans at the Stereophile HT show, too. Sure, they sounded wounderful, but $11k wonderful...? I'd take that much worth of speaker over any headphones, any day. Heard some talk (likely nonsense, but vaguely informative) that ... | |
| Leaving CD in Transport? You bet I've tried to break them with my bare hands! In fact, I get a real kick out of coming up with new and creative ways to destroy all those AOL CD's that show up in my mail all to often...I heartily recommend it to everyone. | |
| Best Receiver in your opinions for 1000? I threw down my $800 for a Marantz SR 7000 after comparing it to similarly-priced Yamaha and Dennon models. However, the 7000 has now been replaced by the 7200 (I think) which, by all accounts, is packed with a lot more whistles and bells (it migh... | |
| Rogue owners what speakers do you like? Using a 99 Magnum with a Bryston 4b-st and Thiel 2.3's. So far, so good. Not the best speakers out there, but they suit me just fine. I'd likely consider replacing the Bryston before the Thiels, but I'm not at the moment. | |
| How do you decide on new music to buy? Completely random, really. I pay a lot of attention to what folks talk about here, and will look deeper when something sounds interesting. More and more, I seem to be listening to music from friends, and friends of friends, or folks that friends a... | |
| stacking speakers? Hey, you wouldn't be the first to call me crazy, and the more I protest, the more it seems like an admission that I am completely off my rocker....Seriously, though, the reason I ask is not to be a smartass, but because it is not that difficult to... | |
| stacking speakers? Uh, call me crazy, (and I assume you have a good reason) but if your HT and 2-channel systems are literally stacked on top of each other, why not use the same speakers for both? Am I missing something? |
