| Speaker cables under floorboards - a good or bad idea? The rockwool needs to be packed tight? I think it need to be packed everywhere, NOT TIGHT. The tighter the pack the less effective it is. Be careful with that too.. Don’t breath it, or expose it to open air...It has to be sealed...Protect yourself... | |
| Any experience or thoughts on the Mcintosh MA352 Crap, jerked a tear from me.. I'm happy if your happy..Macs are nice, plain and simple, and probably a lot more loyal, in the long run. I had the same wife for a LONG time.I'm telling the truth, the Mac gear NEVER talks back, out of turn, or too m... | |
| Strangest Transformation in Break In. I could see the 300 PLUS for silver ANYTHING, though.I had 60 year old silver USAF surplus #12 cable. I almost chucked it, and sold it for weight. I was patient 35 years ago. ALL winter and half the summer. THEN they sounded like no other, UNTIL t... | |

| Adding a SS amp as a 2nd amp for my tube rig has been a plus LOL Just because it does 110, doesn't mean your gonna listen at 110.Mercy. Heck a I have a CAR that will hit 125, a single 10".

| ? SITE UNSAFE ? That's it, bunker time. Grab all the chickens, the rabbit, the goat and the dog. Leave the wife top side.. Teach them to mess with me..She's meaner than hell, with a shotgun and a glass or two of wine in her. 110 lb of pure FEIST. Come on you, YO... | |
| ? SITE UNSAFE ? 4-5 days, AG has been logging me off, or NOT know who I was, when I looked at the classified, and came back, to the forums. Then said I was logged on and I wasn’t. Yup someone got a little worm causing problems, here. I’d say it was something othe... | |
| Neutral Sounding Tube Amps - what gives? There are a ton of good sounding Valve amps out there. Set, Push Pull, selectable, and VALVE swappable. You can get all over the map with a single stereo valve unit, or mono blocks for 5K or under. I been having a great time with a few different m... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? A few more numbers, size of the room.Why so close to the back wall?Regards | |
| Adding a SS amp as a 2nd amp for my tube rig has been a plus LOL I use both at the same time. SS bottom, Valve top, been that way for 30 plus years. The summertime (about 3 months), I go SS power amp top and bottom.I couldn't take the heat, but I sure loved the sound. C20, MC240, and a MC275, or a pair of 6... | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store Ok I looked at the gear. That’s not going anywhere for a demo without something, someone being pretty serious. THAT is a serious pair of amps... NO KIDDING... Probably cost 20-30 dollars in Electrical charges to get it warm enough to listen to.To ... | |
| Atmos Height Speaker Height...How High? Ah, I got it. You want to go from. 7.1 TO 7.1.4? I think that is correct.Again, Atmos will correct anything. How it sounds when it's done, that's up to you. You can still fiddle with it afterwards. Might want to look at a little more bump in the m... | |
