| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong @inna "All speakers after 70s suck too, just in a different way. Don't prove me wrong, it's self-evident, just go and have a listen." So, all speakers sucked before 1970 and all speakers suck after 1970? This leads to two truths. 1. The only ... | |
| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel @misstl Not sure how relevant quoting sales from 1977 is, when there was no other options for the consumer. The fact that vinyl and CD sales are growing is a positive sign regardless. | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Interesting first post. A black & white generalization about a quarter century of speakers. Considering the relatives ages of many of the members, I am pretty sure they enjoyed speakers pre 1970. | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) @soix "although there are still meaningful differences it becomes more a matter of personal taste and system matching as outright faults and limitations tend to decrease markedly." Much like wine. One can find decent bottles for $30, but a good... | |
| Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G I run a pair of Rel T5's, a Rel T7 and a SVS PB200. Haven't heard the Rythmik, but I am sure they are great. My only comment would be that you don't default to merely placing one large sub in a corner and calling it a day. Buy two subs minimum ... | |
| 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. | |
| Cable management....crossing at right angles or @ghdprentice I do know it is low on the totem pole of audio tweaks, but my anal personality can't just forget about it. Every time I sit down to listen, I know it is lurking in the background. I can almost hear it snickering at me during the qui... | |
| 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. |
