| Hum- help needed How old are the amps - were the amps everin storage - could it be electrolytic caps aging? | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? In the old days "the devil to pay" meant to hang off the edge of a ship at sea in order to caulk the longest seam on a ship (where deck meets hull)...now it means to sharpie the edges of your entire CD collection.....*sigh* | |
| subwoofer 19 by 18 room VX700,Indeed - I just looked at your impressive home HT system and the quality of your gear is a strong endorsement for the quality of the JL F113 sub. I expect we will continue to hear great things from JL. Sorry if my cautionary note was only ba... | |

| subwoofer 19 by 18 room The JL woofer looks impressively built - so this may be a good start. Nevertheless, if you want to watch music DVD at audiophile quality distortion levels (not just impressive volumes by moving copious amounts of air, as in car systems or war movi... | |

| Speaker Preferences? panels rule, don't be a cone fool ! Well I can't fault you on your preference for the famous Quad EL sound but I know of the odd speaker that can comes close to matching the quad in the mid range (not better) and have great bass and dynamics too... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all 4est, I know that in my system, different cables are easily distinguished Have you contacted Randi about the Million dollars, or if not, why not (too busy like John Atkinson, for a million bucks)? | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Indeed, given the conviction with which many people talk about extremely high cost cables, break-in and other questionable tweaks...surely someone would step up to the plate, for a million bucks!I can see why an editor or reviewer might not want t... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but even "single driver" speakers have crossovers. Different parts of the cone respond at different frequency, so there is a mechanical, rather than electronic, crossover. "Whizzer" cones, found on some... | |
| Speaker Preferences? at the risk of being labelled an elitist, why is speaker selection so critical if recordings feature mainly amplified instruments ? Hang on...acoustic instruments all sound different too!How can you judge what is real timbre anymore than with amp... | |
