Don't feel bad Johnfritter. I've been told to do it through my profile too but I find nothing there to do it with. The farthest I've gotten is this: Sign in to audiogon.com Near the top it will show: Categories   Brands   Browse   Sell   Explor... 
Making a CD from a cassette
dekay- Well L.A. is a bit of a drive, so..... NYC is almost 5 hrs each way too. I may dig around the local area, maybe not. We’ll see how it pans out. I'm looking into doing it myself too. Elliot and all- Received a response from ClearClick Soft... 
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
"Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?" 1. The lighting in that room is atrocious for pictures, but it's relaxing. 2. I tried doing it anyways but never was successful following the way others said to do it. 3. The setup is all wrong....

How rare is an audiophile
Am I an audiophile? I don’t know. In 1990 I bought the best system I could afford. I recently had it all refurbished. It’s what I’m used to and I like the sound. It’s not that extravagant but it sounds as good or better than anybody else’s system ...

How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment?

Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design!
@Nonoise Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. They still sell ’em.  
Does anyone know where this J. Gordon Holt comes from?
Thanks for posting the link Mike. It's too bad the gentleman has passed away. I like they way he thought.  
Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise?
At the other end of the listening room I have an indoor bicycle. There’s also a 24" smart TV mounted to the front of the bike. Muted Youtube videos with the tunes crankin’ is the only way to pedal!  
More Bass
Even my car stereo speakers sounded better after a few weeks of using them. Like your situation, the bass was rather weak at first. Same goes for my house speakers after I had new surrounds installed. Give 'em a chance.  
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
It IS a classic Ron. They don't make 'em like that anymore. That reminds me, my Greg Kihn Band CD should be coming in the mail.  
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
I simply don’t care for most of the new music. Some yes, but not most. Rather, I go back in time and listen to more and more music from BEFORE the time frame of what I like best. It’s nice to see where "my music" came from.
