| I'm SHOCKED literally . Thanks for all the suggestions so far - I'm pretty sure it wasn't static, since this has never happened before and my room has been the same for 5 years. The processor has a simple two-prong plug and I reversed it's polarity in the outlet then tri... | |
| Velodyne DD's flying out of owners' houses I think there's 2 factors:1. Velodyne is apparently selling these by the bucketload, so there's bound to be a few showing up.2. Subs are very difficult to integrate well in a 2 channel setup. With good full range speakers, an improperly placed and... | |
| 20 Best Naxos Releases I'm not a fan of Naxos, myself - and I agree with the others recommending fewer of a better quality.However, there are bargains - even better than Naxos - so here's a webpage you may be interested in:http://www.classicalnotes.net/columns/cheapweb.... | |
| The end of LP collecting???? Anybody buying LP's as a long term investment at current prices is dreamin'. If you had the foresight to do it 10 years ago, that's another story. But buying now at these prices better be because you love vinyl and never plan on reselling. Domesti... | |
| Any good Tuba Classics or Trombone classics Cd Check out Crystal Records - Brass is their main specialty, and they've got some great offbeat Tuba and Trombone stuff.http://www.crystalrecords.com/ | |
| Better power cord for Bryston I usually agree with the snake oil warnings, too - unless there is a real logical/scientific reason that a product should make a difference. There is an excellent, priced-within-reach power cord that might actually add performance - the Granite Au... | |
| Help locate stolen Tom Waits song by 3rd Bass I believe the 3rd Bass song was "Flippin' Off The Wall Like Lucy Ball", from "The Cactus Album" (1989, Def Jam). | |
| Help finding a Charlie Byrd album "Didi" (Deltra Eamon Almeida) was the wife of Laurindo Almeida. The CD you're looking for is: "Music of the Brazilian Masters" on Concord Picante 1989.It was with Laurindo Almeida, Charlie Byrd and Carlos Barbosa-Lima. I'd assume this is the same ... | |

| At Last Bach Really Hits the Spot Now don't make fun of me - but I like some of the Canadian Brass' stuff and I'd definitely recommend their perfs of both Art of the Fugue and the Goldberg Variations. You wouldn't want them as your primary versions but they are quite refreshing an... | |
| 3 sets of speakers 40 wpc isn't really enough, but that's another issue. What your friend needs most is a Niles SSVC-4 Speaker Selector with Volume Control:http://www.nilesaudio.com/product.php?prodID=SSVC-4&recordID=Speaker%20Selectors%20with%20Volume%20Control... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo UPDATE - This may be some explanation for the discrepancy in opinions here. Last night I experimented a bit with a 40 hz test tone to see if I could hear where it was coming from. This wasn't scientific since I knew where it was, but I'm pretty su... | |
| Just bought a nitty gritty, hear no difference. This may not be your problem, but my recommendation to make sure lp's get as clean as possible is to scrub copiously with manual Disk Doctor pads first and THEN transfer to the RCM. The RCM is great at removing anything that's been loosened up, bu... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo Hey - it's just been slow at work, and I enjoy a good debate. You don't think I totally believe all this stuff do you? :) Despite everything I said - I DO keep my sub to the Right of center which is where all the low register instruments are - the... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo re: Spacekadet's original post - Well, since I don't know much about DVD/Home theatre I just called Velodyne tech support directly - and they completely agreed that there should be no "stereo" advantage in having 2 subs. He stated that, even for h... |
