| Hurricane Irene Did you feel like a Swampwalker?LOL, more like a Swampswimmer. Trying to repair and re-route a downspout draining about 1000 s.f. of steeply pitched roof during a torrential downpour in the dark, dressed only in my speedo (that disturbing image is... | |
| Hurricane Irene Power came back here in W. Hartford @ about 8 after 10 hrs down. A gallon or so of water in the basement last night but I found the problem & fixed it so we are all set here. | |
| SANSUI AU-719 Gets Really Hot? Well, that is new, V. important info (running two sets of speakers). Resistance in parallel is calculated by the formula Rt = R1xR2/R1+R2, where Rt is total resistance, and R1 and R2 are the resistances of each individual set of speakers. What thi... | |
| RMAF 2011: Any tips? bc- One other thought, sort of in the novelty dept; if you've ever considered headphones, there is usually a room on the first floor where you can listen to pretty much all of the high end hp & amp combos you could imagine. | |
| Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think? Lewm- If you think about it, it makes sense. For any single individual, the best sounding [insert component here] will tend to converge, because they are closest to that person's "absolute sound" (irony intended; we each have our own absolute). | |
| Hurricane Irene Audiowoman- good to hear. Very quiet here in NE, very weird just waiting. | |
| Hurricane Irene But for shear, destructive power. I'd take sitting through Irene than the Joplin tornado anytime.Roger that, Dan_ed. Biggest difference, besides the intensity is the randomness and differential time frame under which they unfold. In most cases, as... | |
| Sagging Voice Coils? circumcised drivers ROTFL. Who knew? Horning doesn't sound Jewish ;-) | |
| What's more important: phono stage or amp Very good advice from Roscoeiii. You need to have a phono stage that is electrically compatible with the cart you have chosen and the same for the speaker-amp interface. Read the white paper on the two different paradigms of speaker design to see ... | |
| RMAF 2011: Any tips? bc- Add Merlin to those that Jax2 mentioned (which are all seconded). That will give you some idea of how far a relatively simple design (2 way bass reflex monitor) can be developed and you also will get to hear a great OTL tube amp (Joule). Also ... | |
| Audience customer service...A+ Yep- My one experience w their customer svce was way above and beyond what I (or anyone else) had expected. Hat's off to one of the good outfits in this biz. | |
| Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think? For use w what cart? | |
| Best travel destinations for audiophiles Parisians can be quite rude to English speakers; don't take it too hard. As they say - France is for French.My wife, son and I spent a week in Paris about 6 years ago (the year Floyd Landis temporarily won the Tour d'France). We were a little appr... | |
| Modern Linestages Lately I've been dividing my attention between Irene and this thread. One is a phenomena that is wreaking havoc, upsetting people and causing a lot of anxiety. The other is a hurricane.LOL- Great adaptation of the classic lawyer joke! | |
