| Speaker Spike Philosophy I hate to disagree @linnvolk, but I have an engineering degree, took physics (even thought it was in Computer Science and Engineering) and knew about Coulomb's law (I vaguely remember it) and of course friction, but not "Coulomb Friction".In any c... | |
| members and their systems I’m sure it is better, just like the 996 was better than the 993. Just not my cup of tea. I wish they made a Cayman with a sunroof (which I know doesn’t fit without really reducing headroom). I’ve gone from 996 (C4) to 997.1 (S) to 997.2 (GTS). Th... | |
| members and their systems 992 is way too big and complicated and all turbos. 991 was too big for that matter and had a ridiculous looking sunroof when open. I like the 997.2- no IMS problems. Regular in line 6, sunroof, etc.I know .... that what the purists said when the w... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy +1 @linnvolk Most of the belittling involves @millercarbon, who does know a lot, but sometimes doesn’t understand some of your points above. Your dealer sounds like a good guy. Everybody’s hearing, taste, and priorities/budget are different.I don... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy @mitch2 - The R500s weigh 48 lbs and the discs are 1square inch (1.125 inch diameter)) with 4 spikes, so 12 psi if you assume the force is evenly distributed throughout the bottom of the disc, which is not possible as the disc gets thicker as you ... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy mitch2 - I'm talking about the tip of the spike going into a tiny indentation in the middle of the disc which is where it reacts with the floor. The weight of the speaker will go through that small area, not the entire disc because that is where t... | |
| Am I crazy? Definitely! I hate to say it, but upgrading the arm of the RP6 to an RB880 or RB3000 (you sound like you're willing to throw a good amount of $$ at your itch) will really improve your sound and you will appreciate how much everything else sounds better. It pr... | |
| Gripped By Upgrade Fever Subs with small speakers make sense. Especially if they are preconfigured/sold as a complete speaker system. Those small speakers can't get down to the really low frequencies by themselves. Subs with floor standers don't, unless you are doing some... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy See what the speaker manufacturer recommends. Some come with stands or spikes or some nothing at all, and some with options (not sure why floor standers would come with options).KEF floorstanders have a nice set up - extended arms screwed into the... | |
| members and their systems He should try a 911. I have more room in that than I did in my '05 4Runner. By a good amount - especially leg room. | |
| members and their systems True. Every try to get in a newer NSX? Im 6' and guaranteed to hit my head getting out of it. Other than that, it's a great car and you can get them due to Acura's (Honda's) inept marketing. | |
| members and their systems @jss49- I was talking about the GTS Cayman. I am a sunroof guy so I have a 911 GTS that has a sunroof. The GT#s are the track cars that typically don’t offer sunroofs because for the added weight.I think there was a GT3 with a sunroof option for a... | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? I remember jazz mainly by album. There are so many combos of this guy playing with that guy or that quartet or quintet. I like the classic bebop or hard bop more that the fusion/funk/modern whatever you want to call it. Although there are some tha... | |
| For all you Vinyl lovers! OK for the cost no object "in" crowd in NYC who will get his stuff because they are keeping up with the Joneses. I'm sure it sounds great.He couldn't even give ballpark pricing (other than hundreds of thousands of dollars) and his website is very ... | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Try to find a used Plinius. New ones are pretty expensive. I was told to never get rid of my integrated 8200 MKII. |
