| If Audiophiles care about sound, then why so few threads on acoustics The reason "autophiles" don't get into acoustics is they do not know how to do the math. Plug and play away is the tekkie way. Something new? That will do. High priced junk - give him a hunk. You can't make good sounds in a closet, but you can mak... | |

| Beware AudiogoN Forcing Credit Card Payment Was Audiogon bought by Ebay? EBay has no guarantee - none - and it is full of weasel sellers. I buy a lot of books on EBay but nothing that is mechanical. I've had too many screwings from them to ever buy anything over a couple hundred dollars the... | |
| Opinions on the current market I have bought a lot of used audio gear. I bought and sold used industrial equipment for twenty years. I am a sharp buyer. About two months ago the asking prices softened for just about everything except some medical gear. In six months to a year i... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies The placebo effect in audiophile-ville is alive and well. If you THINK something is going to help, it may well help. There are many easy cheaper ways to reduce EMI. But you have to be able to think; looking for the next audio placebo is not using ... | |
| Rythmik vs JL vs REL I have Rythmik 12 and 15. The 15 plays cleanly right off the lower end of the chart. It is very musical and not just a thump machine like the 12" Rythmik subs, IMO. | |
| Rythmik subwoofers? I have both a 12 and a 15 Rhythmik. First, I got the 12 and it was almost new so I just said OK, I’ll take that for for that price. Well, I was surprised when I heard how well it handled the lower 20 hz s. Not all the way down to 20 on the Rhythmi... | |

| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 I like Primaluna because I have had good luck with mine. Easy on tubes. NO biasing. Quiet and as black as about anything I have heard for way more money. Good power for the rating. They hold value very well so if you want to move up in power - (wh... | |
| From a Close Minded Audiophile--Sumiko S5 Subwoofer Helps Someone said the only thing better than one sub is two subs; the only thing better than two subs is four subs. But you do have to draw the line somewhere, I guess... I control the volume of each sub separately from a central control panel - just E... | |
| What is wrong with a sub? There are many good subs on the market. Just get good controls for the subs and consider how many you really need and placement. I have speakers that go below 30 but I tried one good sub and then, over the years I moved slowly to four. There are r... | |

| lack of bass Can you borrow amplification to try in the system? Sounds like it must be here if all connections are ok. | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? There are phase reasons to use subs but anyone who has to ask this question is not an audiophile anyway, and this poster is only baiting and so one worm is all you get... | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe Melodie Gardot and Dianna Krell are just great singers. If you like these two voices and you also like daring exploring jazz instrumentals tossed in for good measure: try Patricia Barber. Barber has the “voice”and the is “different”, too. Not a be... |
