| 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 ... | |
| Merry Christmas Everyone Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and the best this holiday season has to offer! | |
| 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... | |
| Alon 5 woofer wanted -and refinish advice Hi Bigkidz, I hope things are well with you. Hey area code 90810, whoever you are, sorry to hear about your mess with the Alons. Some people have more balls than brains. Anyway, if you look at my system you will see it is possible to go from that ... | |
| Is McCormack and Conrad one and the same? The other thing is that McCormack gear is warranted by C-J, but Steve runs a successful business SMc modifying both older and newer McCormack to achieve a potential using better parts that was not allowed at the selling price points. BTW, has anyo... | |
| Do you care about the LOOK??? I agree with Albertporter, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, it does matter how the stuff looks, especially in the case of a system in the living room, as opposed to a system in a dedicated HT room. I tend to like solid, well-built bu... |
