Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
Thanks to the guys who motivated me to get off my audiophile a$$ and take some pics, The System in only 2 days has 505 views. That's a lot of views... to have no one ask about the tube glow shots. ;-) 
Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
Right. Almost pure nostalgia- all working order but none connected.That's a Pioneer TX-9100 tuner, bought new by me in about 1974. The Kenwood integrated has gone away but that tuner, between the looks and the memories its just too sweet to part w... 
Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly?
Head East, Never Been Any Reason Save my life I'm going down for the last tiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmme! 
So What Is Real?
Reely? 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
So I subscribe the notion that tweaks are not always necessary.Right. But then music itself is not always necessary.Tweaks only become necessary when the goal is the very best sound possible for the money. In that case its easy to demonstrate and... 
Tube Integrateds with Bass Control
Raven's on my short list. Their internal crossover is selectable however its usually better to run the stereo pair full range for the best bass. Even with my 5 sub Swarm I still run mine full range. Similar 50 wpc tube amp too.Then use the subs an... 
So What Is Real?
I feel strongly that we need to move beyond such foolish questions as what is real. What we as audiophiles should be asking is what is real to real? 
Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly?
One of my fondest memories of college was people rocking out with their windows open, sometimes even with a speaker pointing out, blasting music all over the place. This was back when there was music good enough to be worth doing this with. Music ... 
diy tangential tonearms
See if you can spot where things go wrong: With the pivoted tonearm a typical tracking error causes one side of the needle to delay on the order of about 0.25 milliseconds which at the speed of sound of 1000 feet per second (the acoustic speed o... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
OMG! That is beyond sad. I am livid. This woman was MARRIED to and running the company with Tim, she loses her husband, but that's not enough, they have to take her company too?!?!? Can this even be true? WTF is this country coming to??? 
Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly?
Every once in a while I put on Styx Equinox. Suite Madam Blue, no matter how it starts out, cannot be played loud enough. Loved it in the 70’s when as a student I got the metaphor. For some reason its even better now. Oh yeah, I know the reason! T... 
Favorite instrument through your favorite speakersi
Had this a lot back in the day. Remember well one time taking a friend along to help him learn how to audition. See how nice the trombone sounds on this one? Much better than those other ones. Piano not so hot. Etc. Being thorough of course I also... 
Do I need a sub?
Minimum. Zardoz....Is your dog by any chance telepathic? 
best phono stage under 10k
That's why I said call Keith Herron. The Herron does have tubes but its not tubes that are the problem, the problem is RFI, most of which gets in somewhere along between the cartridge and the end where the phono leads connect to the phono stage. S... 
confused and don't know what to do
Most of these threads are full of so much waste of time I hardly ever come back for a second look. But just now I did and this one from audiotroy shouldn't just slide by: Excuse us Millercarbon, please list your experience in setting up a Home Th...
