Heavy Metal Anyone?
Heavy metal musicians are no doubt impressive. I wonder, though, what things would sound like if we removed the extreme distortion filters. Okay, wait- extreme distortion FILTERS?? So heavy metal would be even more distorted without the filters???! 
Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do?
You're arbitrarily picking speakers but could just as well be saying the same about the turntable, cartridge, or amp. All those one guy or another thinks is so important. The reality is no one is any more important than any other. The really kille... 
Heavy Metal Anyone?
Its true. Django Reinhardt tried his hand at heavy metal, but found it too technically challenging and so had to make do with French jazz. Chet Akins and Roy Clark floundered as well. Mark Knopfler nearly made it, but decided why work when you can... 
Connect dyna pas-2 and dyna st-70 to a Polk sw-10 sub woofer
The solution is as cheap and easy as a line out converter from Partsexpress for less than $10. They're cheap because the circuit is so simple, just two resistors per channel. Read this if you want to understand. https://www.epanorama.net/circuits/... 
MoFi - Are You Kidding Me?

Why Don't Local Audio Dealers Provide Tube Testing Services When They Sell Tube Gear?
You know that's a good point you raise there. In 30 years running tube gear I've always had to just order new tubes, because there was no one around to test them and tell me its time to order new tubes. Not to mention the times I've had to researc...

New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"
Until and unless someone trustworthy tells me Santana has stopped compressing their music to death and gone back to the days of dynamically interesting albums like Abraxas, I will take a pass.The closest anyone above comes is, "Don’t know why, but... 
Square living room--12x12
If you put the open dining area behind the loud and long echo is gonna be hella distracting. What you will never in your life do, but should if sound is all that matters, is put the system in the open space and the couch against the wall. Well, no... 
Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
On a more serious note, this one guy at work thought all my talk about the tiny things I can hear was BS. So when I host a little work party he decides to play this little prank. Only it made no sense but then people like him seldom do. Because wh... 
Audiophile Bass?
I think for the time being I will go with Kyle Bass. 
Why are Trolls not blocked
Right. Like the mods aren't bad enough already. Its one of the worst features of modern life, the way people think they have the right to silence others because they have a password.They already bias web searches, tweets, news, and videos. Now you...
