| Whats playing on your system today? It is a very regional and now 'oldies' sort of thing. Mostly just an interesting side note to Motown.And now for something completely different:Currently listening to Rush - Signals. Also not beach music. A good but not great album in my opinion. ... | |
| Minor Vintage Repair? Something like these?https://www.parts-express.com/12-volt-warm-white-led-lead-lamp-for-marantz-sansui-kenwood-yamaha-son...I don't solder well but I can do it. I also don't know what 'in series' means. Does that mean: source wire (positive or neg... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Boxer12, beach music is a regional variation of Motown type music from the southern U.S. coast, primarily the Myrtle Beach area. It originated in the 50's and 60's. The shag, which originated in Ocean Drive just north or Myrtle Beach is the dance ... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? @whart I agree. No single term, moniker or stereotype is sufficient to characterize an individual much less a generation.But that does not mean that there aren't trends and characteristics among generations that shape the cultures they live in.I ... | |
| Minor Vintage Repair? Update: I opened the receiver up this evening. There are three bulbs burned out.One rides in the pointer the other two are on either end of the dial face. They are all green. They are relatively easy to remove. They appear to be little wire lead b... | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? My roommate in college had a Nakamichi dual tape deck (not the dragon). We were into cassettes in a big way. Saved our money for the highest quality tapes.I don't have any of them now.Listened to them in the car a lot and found that car cassette d... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? I see the notions of "trigger" words and "micro-aggressions" as indicators that our culture is getting close to its nadir. I'm sure it is further away than I think and likely to be a lot worse than I can imagine. Kind of hope I'm not here to witne... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The radio. Over the airwaves not the internet. WRBK. Little private station in the middle of nowhere. Listening to "On the Beach" with Charlie Brown.Any of you folks know what beach music is? | |
| Can you get good quality sound on the short wall axis of a room?? My speakers are on the short wall. There is no other alternative. They are about 7 feet apart and I am about 12 feet away. With a lot of testing and moving a half foot here and a half foot there I've got them sounding pretty good. They do sound a ... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Not the last concert I've seen, but I mentioned The Struts above. Had so much fun in October that I'm going to see them again in May in Charlotte which is close by, in a small venue (1200 people) and then drive down to Charleston, SC to see them a... | |
| Whats the deal? I said this in another thread once and I still think it is true and someone should make it happen:Some of these fine high end cables and power cords are beautifully made and beautiful to look at (including some that I own) regardless of what you t... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? When I was in the USAF during residency we had a primitive 'email' system but anything you wrote could be seen by everyone in the hospital. All of us residents were very close and all got along quite well but we liked to give each other a hard tim... | |
| Best CDs I think we also need to know which CDs the OP finds to be awful. For instance, Achtung Baby just sounds terrible on my system. I don't think it is necessarily a flaw in the CD. I think it was produced that way on purpose to sound like techno-pop d... | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. @irish_tim : Your mention of Eminence Front reminded me that Pete Townshend's album White City is extremely well produced. The song "Hiding Out" is a great one for exercising your system. | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? There are quite a few here (earth) who tend to make absolute statements. "Brand X sux" or "it is stupid to do it that way". Sometimes these are knowledgeable people. But I think they respond this way to make themselves feel good or seem more knowl... |
