| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? Stupid question. How do you respond to a member so that they get a notification? Typing @membername does not appear to work. | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? @ervikingo Not that I'm aware. I would cut a lead and re-solder. Soldering on an old EMIT tab can be a challenge if you aren't careful. | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? Richard, how old are you? Have you been exposed to loud noise (work, concerts, hobbies)? My hearing is done by 14kHz, but I'm 63. The EMITs are around 3.2-4 ohms, so you can check for continuity. Have your son use a paper towel tube between hi... | |
| Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone? Piano = 27.5 Hz Organ = 16 Hz | |
| Fritz Speakers I've never read anything negative about Fritz speakers. | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums Any of Jethro Tull's first sixteen studio albums that are not Aqualung or Locomotive Breath. Any of ZZ Top's first six studio albums that are not Tush. | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 $5k to $7k starting from scratch would be a lot of fun. You will get a lot of suggestions. You have many paths you could travel. Do you need to also do Home Theatre with the same gear? Room size and what kind of speakers first. If the room ca... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? Skeptical? You mean you think I am lying? You would probably believe me if I said power cables make a difference. OK by me. I know what I was doing. Six days a week, Sundays off. I'm back up to the 18-miles but nowhere near where I was lifti... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? You never know the time. I was "perfectly healthy" other than high blood pressure (which I've had for 30 years and controlled with meds), biking 18 miles a day, walking two miles every evening, lifting weights, working on the garden, etc. Blood ... | |
| Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment There is a site called HiFiEngine.com They have manuals and info on lots of older/vintage gear. Pretty sure several pieces you have will be listed there. It's a free site, so no cost other than time to search. They also have a nice index and s... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I owned the older LRS and currently the 1.7i I usually listen around 80 dB with peaks to 90+ Eclectic music taste. Rock, classical, some country, bluegrass, zydeco, organ, etc. Imaging is what they do. Sound appears to come from far beyond the sp... | |
| Amp Warranty Repair - What's an acceptable timescale for turnaround? My recent experience with Parasound. I had my gear back in 10 days. Warranty expired. No charge... Pretty good service IMHO... Buying for warranty, Bryston and Parasound are tops in my book. Of course, they don't pass the audiophile price te... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? I used to own a Porsche and a 1936 Ford (at the same time). Drove them on nice weekends. Not daily drivers. I have no right to criticize what someone spends on audio. An old Chevette would have been as useful. My diminishing returns are about... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Sound "appears" to come from far left and right, well outside the speaker placement width. It also appears behind the speakers, in front of the speakers, apparent height is also heard, and if you have a nice setup you can actually hear sound that... | |
