| Need Help on Dedicated Electrical Lines If you hurry, you might be able to get in on Albert Porter's very kind offer on cryo'ed Hubbell outlets. Please refer to this thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1034280535&read&h12&zzlJsbail&restNote that you... | |
| Advice on building a dedicated listening room. Great suggestions so far -- I'll second the motion on reading Everest's book. Your limiting dimensional factor is your ceiling height* so I would not recommend making that any shorter than you need to do. Therefore, the raised floor might not be i... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Scotch on the rocks (single malt). The type depends on the mood. My standard are the Dahlwhinnie or Aberlour 15's but some moods and the resulting music just demand something smokier! | |
| Movies with... Hello Hello. Welcome to the forums! | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? I second Matty. It would be great to search the classifieds by price range.This is the only site I frequent. Everything and, more importantly, everybody is here. Other sites are tough to navigate and use. Bravo! For anyone reading this who has not... | |
| Review: Air Tight ATM-3 Tube amp Excellent review. Comparing the sound to the live experience is absolutely appropriate (unless the recording engineers tweaked too much) and I applaud you for it. Too bad more reviews, especially in the press, don't do this! | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em I own MIT's and love them -- but I needed to experiment with different types to get it right (finally settled on the ES version). Of course, how they sound depends on "your gear and your ear" (eh dautch?). I replaced my amps and speakers and will ... | |
| I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" I'm not a music expert, so I can only give you my subjective answer: The build-up of the rhythms and the timing really caught my imagination -- I would characterize it as an inspired and creative musical construction (as opposed to analytical). Ma... | |
| What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you? Black woodgrain. Nrchy is absolutely right.Going a bit further ... what about the speaker grills? Why black so often? Dacor camouflage would be nice. Something to blend in with the surroundings and improve WAF. Pastels and browns perhaps .... hmmm... | |
| Where R U????? Charlotte NC -- hey Bryans and South43, maybe we should get together! I've lived in Columbus, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Peoria and elsewhere. Right now, I'm enjoying it here. | |
| Which upgrade should be my priority? I agree. Save up for the amp unless your speakers are poorly positioned and you plan to keep the speakers for a while. There are some really good deals out there right now for some nice integrated units (I thought I saw a pretty nice $300 piece --... | |
| What do you currently own that was bought on 'Gon? MIT Oracle V2 speaker wire, AR ES Turntable (including Linn Baskik Plus Arm & Adcom Hexacoil Cartridge), Silver Audio Silver Bullets se to xlr converter, Wattagate 381 receptacle, Lexicon pre (for home theater), Carver Cinema Grand (for home t... | |
| Re-wired to 30 amps? Thanks Bob, I was hoping you'd say that. Your advice has saved me an hour or more in the crawl space ;-) | |
| Thank You Audiogon. Wow, great job! Just out of curiosity, did you get your gear through the classifieds, via auction or both? Lately, I've been focusing mostly on the classifieds but I was wondering if it was just me. Thanks. | |
| OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1 Thank you Sean !!! I followed your links, tested my PC and was not happy with the results. Got some software and am now in full stealth mode. |
