Salsa and high energy latin jazz album suggestions
For a slightly different take on the whole latin thing (which you may or may not be interested in) have a listen to Orishas, on their album A lo Cubano. Strange sound. It's essentially a fusion of very traditional Cuban jazz and rap. Sounds odd, b... 
cornfedboy, signing off
Ugh, that stinks. Kelly, the community hereabouts will certainly be less for your absence. That said, having spent some time attempting to devise ADR schemes for dumbfoundingly complicated multinational ventures and looking into what claimed to be... 
need help - Cd players
I recently was asking myself the same question. I had a AH!Tjoeb '99 in my main system for about two years (now still pulling duty in the bedroom) and like it just fine, especially for the price. The Tjoeb 2000 is similar in design, but built from... 
How Do you hide/camouflage your rats nest?
Lord, Sean, TWELVE channels of amplification?!? As in 12!?! Wow.... 
Source Selector Fix-It Tips
Just to follow up, gave the item in question a good dousing (or six) with the Rat Shack TV tuner cleaner/lubricant as advised, and it worked like a charm. Only time will tell how long it takes, but, in the meantime, my brother (who has got to be o... 
Most compelling vocal you discovered in a movie?
Have to admit that the one that really, but really grabbed me was the Peter Gabriel song, Blood of Eden, from Wim Wenders' movie, Until the End of the World. About half way through the movie, after a chase all around the world in half-comical, dar... 
Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ???
Oh my god. Not only did it walk all around the room, it literally pulsed and throbbed at points. Man oh man do I need some serious room treatment. 
Is it OK to leave a tube preamp on all the time?
Had a VTL TL 2.5 myself for about two years, and I pretty much left it on all the time except when I knew I was going to be away for a couple of days or more (and then I'd usually turn it off and unplug it). From all that I've heard from VTL and r... 
A question I'm sure you've never heard before....
Almost surprised that you haven't heard more of up an upswelling from the Rogue fanatics (which have been vocal as of late, myself happily among them, bias noted). The 99 Magnum (with phono stage) goes for about $2.9k retail, and might be had used... 
15k blues
My guess is that anyone who is ready willing or able to drop that kind of scratch on audio stuff isn't the sort who is combing these forum's looking for a bargain. Chances are, if you're in the market for a $40k amp, you're also looking for profes... 
Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4
Egads, these are awful choices, and one after the other, at that. I'll take the same route that I took during three years of being tormented by the "would you rather" game in college (...would you rather fellate a horse on TV or administer a honey...

Buckingham, regarding the "sandbox" fix for a humming power supply, that one was officially dreampt up and/or approved by the guys at Rogue. It might be worth giving them a call to see what their take on it is, but I believe that they have actuall...

Yea, Winoguy17, that's a good question. At first I was keeping the gain at its lowest setting in order to get a little more travel out of the volume knob, but at times it sounded like the bass was a little bloated, or possibly just over-accentuate...

Thanks, David, sounds like a snap. I'll likely wait until upgrade fever hits me again and then pull the sand trick as a relatively painless way of keeping the upgrade deamons satiated for a spell (they do tend to come in waves). First off, my room...

Nice thread idea. I've got a 99 Magnum, but I've only had it for a couple of weeks now and haven't had the opportunity (or the inclination) to do much in the way of tweaking it yet. I've heard a lot about filling the power supply, and will likely ...
