| Heavy Vinyl @grinnell "Did you ever hear the 3 sided album on one LP? One side has 2 tracks Monty Python’s Matching Tie and Handkerchief" Being the early 1970’s, certain smokable substances were consumed and the stunned confusion that ensued when a comple... | |
| New Speaker advice @mattsaunders2000 I agree with everyone that using the Denon is spoiling the experience, but adding a preamp with HT bypass is the wrong approach in that you will be powering your two channel with the Denon power amp. You need to add a proper i... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? @secretguy "Pay no attention to forums like this." I assume this comment is tongue in cheek, but just in case it isn't, I have a different take on this. I believe there is gold mine of information available on this site, if one is capable of ... | |
| Fraudulent sale on eBay @markalarsen Well, that is certainly something a lawyer would know about. | |
| Cable management....crossing at right angles or @ghdprentice Thanks (I think??) | |
| Contact for Price I have run into this and I feel the same way. Just something about it that rubs me the wrong way. Don't know why, but it just seems "shady". | |
| speakers for small room @digsmithd Sounds very familiar. ATC SCM19's in a 12' x 20' room powered by 220 wpc. Works for me. | |

| Fraudulent sale on eBay So the US doesn't have criminals or counterfeiters? You can couch your comments in pro-American jargon, but you live in a glass house and shouldn't be throwing stones. I do not dispute that China contributes to worldwide counterfeiting, it's th... | |
| Cable management....crossing at right angles or I wish I had a dollar for every time I have had to reconfigure my rack and have vowed that this time the result will be neat and organized, only to end up in the same place. A rats nest of wires with no discernible pattern. | |
| Corner base trap- to the ceiling? "I guess bass sound waves more so accumulate in the lower side of a room, but don’t a lot of these pressure amplitudes reach the upper half?" Traditional cone based speakers radiate sound in an expanding circle so the sound fills the entire space... | |
| Tune of the Day Tim Buckley "Sweet Surrender" or "Make It Right". I can't decide. | |
| How Has Your Finely Tuned Audiophile Dexterity Helped You in Your "Other" Life? I know it hasn't helped my golf game. Except I've found I can distinguish the tree species by the sound my ball makes hitting it. | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados "Get a pair of Quad 57's!" Very "on topic" comment. | |
| Hiatus @raysmtb1 In general, I agree with the clothing analogy, but I think a food recipe might be more accurate, in that it allows for more precise tweaking. With clothes you are stuck with the subject person’s size, shape and appearance and face it,... |
