| I'm wondering if I can fit this in my house "Local pickup only". Not sure about affording the fuel (much less the semi) to truck that stuff to our house. And it's speakers only - we'd probably have to talk with the local power company about just wiring something directly into the grid to ... | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money It feels like I've replied with the following maybe once or twice a year for the past decade. This approach should fit your budget and is usually good for a laugh. And you can always look this up and see for yourself...Way, way back when I'd stu... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Warren Buffet's cables? I dunno - does he use the ones that are spares for his Bugatti Vayron? You know, that car with the $25K tires (or $60K tyres, depending upon which link in your Google search you click. Both apparently still need the $70K... | |
| Time for a change. Need some Advice @shpritz - If you really just wanna spend the money then please go right ahead (and if you have a moment you could also send your C4 Sig's to me...). However, before you do you might want to pay some attention to the comments from Johnny R. True... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. Do you live alone? And alone in a single-family house, not an apartment/condo/duplex where others live in the same building? If you'd answer "no" to any of that then please just get a commercially acceptable power cord. And please get it now - ... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers redfuneral - Current reply excepted, you've heard from some very involved and competent folks so far and they really do know their stuff. I also know this might not be what you'd requested, but this situation sure sounds like it could be better (... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... rib61 - You have some fine speakers already. If you're really just looking for a bass boost then HSU, SVS, REL, et. al. might be able to help for maybe ~20% (or less...) of what that whole D3 "upgrade" would cost you. If nothing else, you'll get... | |
| Bi-Amp v. Uneven Speaker Cable Runs (Pass Labs B&W 802D) You probably already have your answers above - either do basically nothing or just go with your differing speaker wire lengths. And if you feel you need someone with a little more background to weigh in with their approach... well, every decade ... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... Definitely agree with so many of those names that have lit up the ears over the years... I'll admit I am a little surprised that I'd get to add Will Ackerman and an all-time fav, David Lindley, to that list - both are just exceptional. | |
| Time for a new 2 channel amplifier - looking for suggestions I second/third/whatever what yogiboy said above. I'd stumbled onto a Khartago deal years back and even today am still so pleasantly surprised with what it does and does for the price. New or used it's a darned good bit of bang for the buck - hig... | |
| I was thinking the other day about all the audio stores that were around when I was a kid taters, this one really hit a chord... Way, way back when, growing up in upstate NY, I stumbled onto Stereo Sound in Schenectady (I was already driving so could go wherever). They had phenomenal stuff and there was one sales guy there who was so... | |
| Would you be more likely to buy new gear out of state if there was no sales tax Turbo tax and others do not prompt for input of these figures and they would if needed. Sorry - I don't know which version of TurboTax or TaxCut you've used but whatever I've used for about the past 20 years it has always asked in the State Tax ... | |
| Your favorite BEACH BOYS LP besides PET SOUNDS Off top of my head, Holland is probably next fav followed by Endless Summer. However, after reading about your goals in adding to your collection you may want to keep your expectations at less-than-stratospheric... For quite a while the primary ... | |
| Speaker Cable Questions Sorry - 12/2 is just a reference to "12 gauge/2-conductor" extension cords, that classic HD orange cord. There are also (and maybe more prevalent today) 12/3 cords that also have that separate ground wire and connection. The 12/2 cord is usually... | |
| Speaker Cable Questions I know I'll probably take just a little heat for this, but... Home Depot 25' 12ga (yup, orange extension cords) should be sufficient and it's definitely a little more affordable than some of the other things mentioned above. And we're not talkin... |
