| Change needed at Audiogon Cross-referencing this thread to the various rants about dealers being, well shall we say, high-minded or insensitive, I can't help but wonder if what we have here is the amateur seller's equivalent. Sure you have to answer obvious questions, if t... | |
| Do You Understand Music? To all Jackson Pollock fans: good evening. It takes all kinds. Some folks stick to what they know and only consume more of it. Some folks try different things when they get bored, only to convince themselves that what they are used to is way more ... | |
| Basic Repertoire Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I realise that many books are available. Covering types of music quite removed from "classical" music, I have the AMG All Music Guide to Jazz and The Music Hound Guide to Blues. I don't know if any of you remember, b... | |
| What qualifies a "low baller" Weiserb,Leigh, Ultrakaz are right. If you are selling something, anything, you should take things in stride. That's what supply and demand is all about. As a buyer, I always cringe when I see someone indicating that the price is firm. As a seller,... | |
| Wiring a dedicated line Sean, what the hell do you do for a living? I thought you were a technician in the electronics/audio field. On that basis, my comment was that over and above not messing with the house wiring, untrained people should not mess with the innards of e... | |
| Wiring a dedicated line At least in this jurisdiction, this work has to be done by a master electrician. Leaving aside the legalities, as pointed out by Mr. Albertporter, the main concern is one of safety, to which I can add potential insurance woes. A lot of do-it-yours... | |
| What to do about ventilation duct noise??? Listen throug it as though it was analog tape hiss and be thankful you don't have digital ducts! | |
| A/C noise Lakefrontroad wants to know if it is more or less than 900 ft. | |
| Will Cosmetic Surgery Alter My Hearing? Look at it as being some kind of ultimate tweak. If you don't like the new sound, change cables (in the sound system, obviously). Good luck and prompt recovery. | |
| any decent amps 17" wide? Brystons (such as the 7B- ST) are available without the handles and with a 17 inch faceplate. If you buy used, the narrower faceplate can be bought and simply swapped for a wider one. | |
| What is the range of human hearing? Dear Gentleman, Sir: please insert the word "frequency" before the word "range" and tell me what you think it is on the Lakefrontroad. Regards. | |
| Need inexpensive amp help and questions on Hype Mr. Bomarc is quite right. Don't read the audio press. Listen to the stuff. Try for a home audition so that you will know how it will sound in your own system and in your own room. An integrated will probably provide the best solution dollar-wise.... | |
| How do you get the "real" feel of music? Without being a defeatist, let's just say that you will never be able to recreate in your home the experience of live music, it's just a fact of life. The better the system, the smaller the gap, but a gap will always remain. A better system, unfor... | |
| Speakers for the real world. Placement problems. Here I go again (broken record comes to mind): Paradigm Studio 100 v2s. Good bass, good efficiency, good frequency response, nice imageing, good build quality. Zero snob appeal. | |
| Another UPS oops thread Years and years ago I got a VSP Gold power amp shipped to my sister in Texas (because the manufacturer would not ship to Canada) and then from there to my office in Montreal. You guessed it, tha amp arrived damaged. Claims person refused the claim... |
