| Short Out Plugs Right on Notdigital !!! I have used this "trick" many times and reccomend it quite frequently. Since the specific circuit is shorted or "shunted" to ground, you don't have to use "high quality" connectors. The cheapest ones will more than suffice.... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? You folks are great : )Besides Lorne's "suggestions" making me chuckle, i especially liked the "return rate" on Dekay's audio expenditures. He gets $100 of tubes, she gets a $1 "toy" !!! I bet other guys wish they had the same 100:1 "exchange rati... | |
| Advice on recording audio CD-R's I agree with Grumpy BB. Digital overload does NOT sound good. On the same hand, you want to keep the signal up as high as possible. In plain English, "ride the edge but don't step over it". As to where "the edge" is on your specific recorder / met... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3CD I wonder what products AA will be "foisting" on Sam Tellig now ??? All they have left is Parasound and Adcom..... Sean> | |
| How Do You Clean Your CD's? I'm with Bob on this one. I use dish soap and water for greasy fingerprints and then blot dry. I normally use and recommend Palmolive Anti-Bacterial for tasks such as this. Not only does it soften your hands while you do the CD's, they are hypo-al... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3CD I agree. There are some MF pieces that i would consider purchasing if they did not create such a contrast with the rest of the gear that it would be residing near. While it might look sharp as part of an entire MF system, it does not blend well wi... | |
| Have you "lied" to yourself? Are you wanting us to name products or just relay that we have been bummed out about some of our purchases ??? I can't see anyone spending cash and keeping something that is FAR below their expectations. As such, i agree with Garfish. If it's THAT... | |
| Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature I agree with Vader. Nice sounding amp overall, but the bass response is on the "quick & light" side of neutral. While it will never run out of steam, it doesn't have "slam" like some other high powered SS amps. What it does have in bass respon... | |
| Have you "lied" to yourself? Like some of the others, i play the used market heavily. I have been able to check out a LOT of gear this way with nowhere near the expenditure levels that new gear would require. One case that stands out in my mind was when i first picked up a ne... | |
| unequal cable lengths I agree with all of the above. Besides that, i will add that you should NOT coil the excess up. Spread it out as best possible, even if you have to snake it back and forth. Try not to lay it on top of itself either. Sean> | |
| Hate to ask...... Inscrutable, surely you CAN have them spread out too much. Like i said, a lot of how they need to be set-up has to do with the size of the speakers, their dispersion pattern and the listening distance. It's the same thing that we run into for 2 ch... | |
| Hate to ask...... To Kjg and some of the others, a center channel works best if you have your mains spread out quite a bit and you are seated a bit away from the screen. There is NO advantage to using a center channel if the mains are only 6' - 10' apart ( dependin... | |
| Is 15W enough to drive Dyn 3.3? The guess of the top of my head is "NO WAY". Dynaudio's use very "parts heavy" crossovers and are known to be "power suckers". Even with the "tube watts are more powerful than SS watts" argument, that amount of power will barely make those speaker... | |
| Carver LightStar Reference WOW !!!! That was a GREAT price. I wish i could use a "little" amp like that : ) Best wishes and good listening... Sean> | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S If I, Dekay or Glen came across as "pompous", please excuse us. We have been hit by a recent onslaught of "ALL CAPS" posters. It is both irritating and harder to follow. I hope that you accept the appology that i offer on all of our behalf. Unfort... |
