Review: Orei DA21X DA converter
Honda6, you're courageous to post a review of a 26 buck D/A converter here on Agon! But, let me back you up in your assessment. The Orei does work! I have a vacation house that I visit for only 2 months per year. My "system" is a collection of anc... 
Special artists never mentioned before on Agon
Thanks everyone. But this thread wasn't intended to be about David Sanborn. I was really hoping to get a listing of artists who had recorded something of special merit that Agon folks hadn't previously recognized - like Bob Berg's track "Kalimba".... 
Special artists never mentioned before on Agon
Hi Czarivey. If you like old Sanborn, remember this was recorded back in 1987, it's no lullaby-very hot jazz-rocking stuff. They not only have a ferocious "duel", they harmonize beautifully as well on this track. It also includes the luscious soun... 
RS5s - upper or lower connections?
I know I'm late to this thread. But according to the Audioquest website (http://www2.audioquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/UndrstndgBiWr.pdf), if you are using a single set of cables on a biwirable speaker, if you have a 2-way speaker, connect... 
Where do I start with... "artist"?
Many thanks Kjo. I guess allmusic is the place to go instead of this type of thread.

Thanks for your responses. I checked out allmusic, bestalbumsever and rateyourmusic. These are wonderful sites, each serving up the information in somewhat different but valuable ways and I will join them all. But there is something so much more d... 
Any ideas regarding Diagonal room set up?
Seikosha - Your search skills are clearly much better than mine. Thanks for the education. This helps a lot. Bottom line, it's good to know there is nothing inherently wrong with this room set-up. I've been thinking about upgrading my system but d... 
Any ideas regarding Diagonal room set up?
Thanks Tish, for recommending the DECWARE article. This is exactly what I was looking for! If I'm reading Steve Deckart correctly, he's saying that for some audiophiles, this room set-up is a tweak that can be far more important than cables, wires... 
Any ideas regarding Diagonal room set up?
Thanks Mribob and Newbee. After a couple of days with no one commenting on this thread, I was beginning to think that I was the only one mad enough to ever do this. You have confirmed that reasonably good sound can be had like this and your sugges... 
Amazing "tightening" of bass on cone speakers
Nonoise - no embarrassment on this one. Before my Missions, I've owned speakers from Allison, Dahlquist, Acoustic Research, Wharfdale and a bunch of others and I never knew I should care about this. It was just a bit of luck that I happened to rea... 
Amazing "tightening" of bass on cone speakers
Thanks Jgiacalo, Roxy and Mapman. I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I wonder how many audiophiles are out there who think their speakers are past their prime when all they need is a little tightening up. And great idea using a torque screw driver!
