| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? Away at school in the 4th grade in the mountains of Virginia from 1957-1961, we had limited radio reception. I had a cream-colored Zenith radio that was about 8" high and 12" wide and about 3-4 inches wide. I looked at a bunch of pics of old Zeni... | |
| How to listen /audition at audio shows? @millercarbon So, how does it feel to be dumber than a sack of hair?Your posts are laugh riots...everything you say is such BS. Do you sit around and make this up full time, or do you just do it in your sleep? | |

| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Once again, every electron I ever interviewed has told me that they prefer cables that work rather than ones that do not. By work, they mean no cuts between the beginning of the wire and the end.Cheers! | |

| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? See, you go about this from an odd place. ALL speakers have their fans, so I tend to think more about the accuracy of the reproduced music.Walsh speakers are not worse than or much better than many box speakers. They have their good points, and th... | |
| Would Appreciate Advice Before I Buy Any box speaker distorts sound. Try out the least expensive Magnepan speakers before writing a check.Cheers. | |
| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max I am going to sell it in a while, so not currently available, but my Hafler 500 has been running my system for 45+ years with an Audio Research pre-amp (newer one). I am going to be bi-amping my Maggies using the Audio Research EC-21 that was des... | |
| Looking for new speakers for large audio room SUGGESTION:With a room that size, don't buy anything until your dealer installs a pair of the best Magneplaners. Be sure you have GREAT electronics--you only hear what you put into them, so GIGO.If they don't knock you off your feet--once they ar... | |
