sound quality control (mixing) at live venues
There's many reasons this can happen. The Eagles in Seattle started out atricious, people scrambling around eventually got quite a bit better but still nowhere near what I know the venue to be capable of. Supertramp in Seattle was a testament to s...

Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit
They sell for 10% of original price for a reason: nobody wants them. Nobody wants them for one very good reason: they are crap.When money is tight the absolute last thing you can afford to do is throw it away on crap.Pennywise, pound foolish. Thin... 
Your first system and your journey...
Radio Shack got me through Jr High. Then I graduated from delivering newspapers to delivering Big Macs. With $2.35/hr burning a hole in my pocket the extra money went into trips to Jafco to audition everything, which it came down to efficient JBL ... 
Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here?
Wait till you try the HFT Speaker Kit. Same deal as HFT, soundstage just keeps getting better, speakers disappear more and more. Does not seem to matter which or what order, ECT or HFT, walls or speakers, you can even do one Speaker Kit putting ha... 
What Possessed Me to Do This?

Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here?
See my characteristically long, detailed and thorough review. Also check out the pics on my System page https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367Notice one Green Dream and one Black Widow both on the Koetsu, with another Green Dream on the arm tub... 
Your first system and your journey...
Almost forgot about the portable record player. Closed up like a mini suitcase. That would've been 69, 69, something like that. But I can't count that, because it wasn't "mine". As in I didn't buy it. My first system really was a system. 
Why go out???
Thanks. The video is pretty good too. Similar to the audio, the video benefits from power and other tweaks that raise performance quite a bit from what you would expect from what is really just a 1080i projector. Really wanted to get a few picture...

Your first system and your journey...
My first? My very first? Memory’s a little hazy but it was probably Realistic. For sure it was bought at Radio Shack with paper route money back in 1973. After riding my bike there many times, and hours of listening to everything they had, moving ... 
Chemically Altered Audio
My discoveries are made via practical experiments, not scientific theories.People would be surprised how often this is the case. Synergistic Research Element series cables were not the result of theory but came about when Ted Denney simply decided... 
Switching speaker cables between two different amps (signal chains)
I regularly move my speaker cables between two different amps; vinyl and multi-media. Using cable ends are banana; but is there a better termination to do this? Concerned about wear of the connectors on my amps and the firmness of the connection...
