| Woofer on top? Sorry, it is not the woofer that is on top, but the tweeter that is on the bottom! My wife has a pair of tse smaller Missions with that configuration and I can't see that it changes anything, assuming the speakers are on stands and at the correct ... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. The man is absolutely right, but audiophiles are elsewhere, out on a limb. | |
| Air kills cartridges? A bit extreme don't you think? Packing them in their original container and making sure a small bag of fresh silica gel is in there should be enough. The rubber will degrade with age just like we do. How long are you planning on keeping these carts? | |
| What started you on the merry go round? I thought by "merry-go-round" you meant a quest for better sound, or at least better equipment, not any initial exposure to recorded music. If it is the latter, I would have to say the old tube radio in the kitchen of my childhood every evening bl... | |
| Diffuse Front Wall? Absorb rear wall? LEDE rooms are the other way around. Even in relation with room acoustics, most folks here will opine that anything goes so long as you enjoy the sound and are "emotionally involved".LEDE rooms are a bit passé as computer programs are now used to ... | |

| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? BTW I don't think that novelty acts like Tiny Tim or that horrible soprano should be included as they know they are terrible and cultivate it. I think the list should only include those who are "legit" acts but are oh so terrible! | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? The McGarrigle sisters. To me, just like fingernails on a blackboard. | |
| Why spend megabucks on a tuner? Jeffb, the wisest post I have read in years. Some will call it a rant, I call it spot on.How about your view of other aspects of sound reproduction and high-end equipment? | |
| Amazing James Randi? JMC: Fremer, seems to me, protests too much and you just rollover and play dead. Is all that in aid of the subjective hi-end status quo? | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables Bring back the stereo console and have everything hard wired and stop all this craziness! | |
| Amazing James Randi? It doesn't matter because you know cables have a sound all their own or that once the known paramaters are achieved it's like throwing money out the window? | |
| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? An awful lot. As good as my JVC 1010 was for many years, I couldn't believe the improvement when I got an Arcam CD 23. I then went to a Sony SACD XA 9000 ES player and there was a small but not insignificant improvement on CD there also. | |
| Amazing James Randi? jmcgrogan2: "not that it really matters anyway" What does that mean? | |
| Which Cardas cable is the warmest? Why not get yourself a vintage pre with tone controls? |
