You could always pay someone else to check it out.Buzzing commonly indicates a faulty tube. Then aga... | |
| Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only I shipped some floorstanders from Dallas for a nice guy in Trinidad. He had a pal in the shipping business in Florida who handled the rest from there. Maybe that was so easy it doesn't count. When I sold a Japanese CD player to a dude in Canada he... | |
| Moving from ProAc's to....... Have a look at Soliloquy. Their 6.2 resembles the Proac 2.5/1.5 but the cabinets are heavier. Or look at the Vienna Acoustics line; their cabinets are lighter. FWIW, I bought new Proac Tablette 2000 Signatures purely on spec and was not disappointed. | |
| ''I Feel Fine''by the Beatles, who does the lead ? 4yanx: nope, simply addressing the question who plays lead guitar. Check out this Perkins link:http://www.rockabillyhall.com/CarlPerkins.htmlIt cites Perkins touring England in 1964. Did George Martin use him on some sessions? It wouldn't surprise... | |
| ''I Feel Fine''by the Beatles, who does the lead ? Maybe Carl Perkins as on Honey Don't or Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby? But if it has to be one of the Fabfour it's George 'picker' Harrison. | |
| how does one know whether bottoming out a woofer o When woofers bottom out they often make a violent CRACK! sound as the back of the moving cone hits the stationary frame. Undamaged woofers can achieve this state by being powered beyond their design limits. Actual physical damage soon follows. | |
| Which Threshold amp to buy??? Jeff, you make it sound so easy; some of these vintage Threshold amps seldom appear online.I've had a S300 Series II, and now have a S350/e. Both run trouble free and I keep mine powered 24/7. The stasis/e series are indeed the last ones with Nels... | |
| How far has speaker technology come? The biggest differences with modern dynamic speakers is the use of narrower front baffles and smaller speaker cones. A less wide baffle enhances imaging. The smaller cones are easier to control. However, moreso than with any other link in the chai... | |
| What is "west coast sound" Dweller rightly describes the San Francisco sound. More in general though, West coast - loose and relaxed. East Coast - uptight and controlled.In music, West Coast is the sound Fleetwood Mac makes when it hires Stevie Nicks. Singer Nicolette Larse... | |
| How to get rig of the low frequency from record Varakan, you are not alone. The speaker behavior you describe is more common than you might imagine. For years I never noticed it until I got speakers with removable grills.The most common suggestion here seems to be better isolation of the turnta... | |
| Faraday Cage? Thanks to you both for your enlightening responses. | |
| Two way vs. Three way Speakers Think about it this way: the ideal speaker would be a one-way with no power draining, distorting crossover. Unfortunately no one has yet perfected a single driver that can coherently portray all the wavelengths we prefer. Regardless, it might be f... | |
| Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose For your first foray I'd say stop looking and start listening. Go to BestBuy and get the most expensive Sony A/V receiver they've got and those swiveling Bose music cubes and subwoofer. Connect it all with Monster cables. Ask a stereo nut to help ... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Rlips, if your speakers are not mirror images of each other getting them to cancel may be a challenge. As long as they face each other as closely as possible it probably doesn't matter where in the room they or you are. You'll know when you've got... | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Rlips, since you're already committed to moving the speakers, while you're at it try this traditional balancing tweak: set the speakers directly facing each other one inch apart. Wire one out of phase with the other. Play a monaural selection and ... |
