| Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables First, let me state that I have never owned any Monster Cable products. But, they have the right to market their product any way they want to. If this includes trips for salespeople, I'm sure the salespeople love it. I went on a similar trip provi... | |
| Equipment reviews, are they credible? It's a good idea to put the reviews in their own section. I also agree that many reviews are terribly short and little more than,"This is the best ___ I ever had." That is not a review. I think a lot of the reviews are not reviews, but sweepstakes... | |
| Speaker Mods Nrchy, I will admit I was also questioning the usefulness of a speaker filter before I tried some. I thought it was even a silly idea. However, I found differently. In the case of the Bybees, I searched the web for info, and posted some threads he... | |
| Speaker Mods Nrchy, on the website I looked at, they mentioned factory stands that put the tweeter at correct listening height. But, they didn't show a picture or price. If it were me doing the mods, I would replace whatever internal wiring you are comfortable... | |
| 3-way under 1000 new. One of the things I have found on this forum, is that the Vandersteen speakers are widely recommended from all kinds of different audiophiles with different viewpoints. Any speaker that gets that kind of consensus on these pages must have somethin... | |
| Speaker Mods I just looked at the M7 on the web. Pretty nice looking. What do you want to change about the sound of them? You can't just go happily modifiying away, without first deciding what sonic changes you are after. If you just want to do "basic" things,... | |

| Study finds your Amplifier reveal your personality Many people say I have a Berning desire to listen to music. | |
| Review: V P I Industries TNT-3 Turntable Nice review. You've got a good system there, Kalan. | |
| What is the best tonearm at about 3000 budget? Origin Live Silver 250. The British HiFi press called it "possibly the best tonearm in the world right now". The TNT Audio review said it was hard to categorize, since it has absolutely no coloration or flaws, and thus categorized it a the ideal "... | |
| Ortofon Jubilee on Ekos II - comments? Going out of the manufacturer's recommmended mass range could cause a problem with resonance. But, it is possible that it wouldn't be a problem with your particular system. I would check the total mass figures for the arm and cartridge on the mass... | |
| state songs -- our suggestions? For Tennessee, I vote for "Volunteers" by Jefferson Airplane. I've already heard enough Rocky Top around here to last me a lifetime. | |
| state songs -- our suggestions? Unfortunately, for Washington D.C., with the way the politicians have been going over the last 40 years, it has to be "The Internationale". | |

| Have you heard a great listening room? Bill, I don't know if I would classify my room as "great", but it is pretty good. It is 14' wide by 24' long. It has a vaulted ceiling that is 8' tall behind the speakers, rises at 45 degrees to 16', stays flat for 8', and slopes back down again a... |
