| shipping speakers Original boxes and packing are critical, especially for speakers of odd shapes, and with stuff hanging off of them such as "tweeter on top." Heavier full range speakers should be shipped by motor freight such as BAX, preferrably with the original ... | |
| "...Pet Free..." I have long suspected our dogs of partying while my wife and I are at work. The dogs are often left outside, but not always. On one occasion after they had been in the house all day, I came home to find Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London on repea... | |
| Where are you from this Christmas.. Best of the holidays from Kalamazoo, Michigan, where it is finally starting to snow again. - Tim | |
| pet's & xmas We are planning to give our two Siberian Huskies, Frank and Sadie, a couple of cats to play with for Christmas, oops, just kidding. Oh well, they don't always get everything on their list. They will have to settle for new beds and some cooked leg ... | |

| Modwright SWL 9.0SE -vs- Aesthetix Calypso? Hey Dan, I have been curious about these because of the overwhelmingly positive response in this forum. The Calypso is the next preamp I am planning to try because I run all balanced equipment. Any plans for a fully balanced unit? | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System To answer the original question, in general I believe you can get the job done pretty good at about 10 percent of system cost, and no higher than 25 percent. Beyond that, I would probably start replacing components or speakers. Of course the "cost... | |
| Anyone listened to Aerial 9's? Glad to hear you like them Pigtunia. I received mine and have had them up and running for a few days now. I like what I hear. They are quite different from the Alon's (and not necessarily "better"), but definitely better for my situation, listenin... | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro I agree with Lush. Either appreciate the service provided by a dealer, and be happy with a typical 10-20 percent markdown, or buy off the internet and take your chances. Using a dealer can benefit you by being able to listen first (and sometimes e... | |
| Anyone listened to Aerial 9's? Hi Worldcat, thats good to hear. Mine get here tomorrow. I am comming off a pair of Alon Circe speakers that were great in many ways, and I hope the 9's do not make me think I made a mistake. I suspect I will give up a little in resolution compare... | |
| Cary 303/100 v. Muse Model Ten I cannot answer your specific question, but I can add that Kevin Halverson with Muse ranks the redbook playback of the Model 10 as the best of his players. It is musical, quiet, and natural sounding with a solid bass foundation. I will be interest... | |
| Anyone listened to Aerial 9's? Thanks for the responses. Any other opinions? | |
| Why are CDs so hard to open? The most frequent use of the knife I keep in my car: Opening New CD's! Also a pet peeve of mine. BTW, I like the cardboard cases much better than the plastic ones, easier to get into when new, don't break, and generally easier to open and close. | |
| B&W Rip-Off Isn't TAD, "Technical Audio Devices," maker of the highly rated TAD Model 1? http://tadhomeaudio.com/home.htmlThe advertised speakers do look remarkably like another "well-known" speaker, right down to the dimples in the port. Has anyone heard them? | |
| Alon 5 woofer wanted -and refinish advice Bigkidz, I was responding to the poster of the wanted ad (who listed their area code as 90810) and my reference of more brains than balls was for the goon who would take shipment of the speakers, remove the tweeters, ruin a woofer then send them b... |
