Subwoofer
I like the sound both ways. Curiously, I blend the sub in and it sounds great. When I remove the sub, I like it...i would make a poor reviewer! 
Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?
The Monkees Greatest Hits, Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, The Donnas, Mel Torme, Dean, Sammy and Frank, Goose Creek Symphony...I don't feel guilty, but they aren't what I'd call crowd pleasers to my friends. 
Audio Art cable Power 1 Classic or Pangea AC-9
I have a couple of these Pangea cords for my tube amps. They dictate your gear placement basically. I like them but they're not very flexible if you need to do much twisting/turning.You may consider getting longer lengths if going with the Pangea ... 
Life without a remote
In 1980, my Navy roommate (uncle Chuck) and I were approached by a salesman putting the hard sell on us to buy a remote controlled tv.Chuck acted very annoyed, stared the guy down and said in a stern voice 'sir, the day I am too dang lazy to tell ... 
Buying Without Audition
Same here, I'm in a 'no audio' zone. I generally buy used gear, some local and some not. All I've really gained from buying local is saving freight and making sure everything worked- the actual judgement happened at my house in my system. This gro... 
Anti skate. I think something's wrong
Audiolad, that's good advice. 
Where do you guys buy tubes?
Hi, anyone familiar with 6N1 and 6P15 tubes? I bought an  inexpensive hybrid amp for a small system and would like to try different tubes. Being a tube preamp stage only, I'm not expecting alot of change, but thought I'd ask.If you're familiar wit... 
And now, Introducing....
We are just getting access to cassette tape decks in Arkansas.  
Questionable service at Soundsmith
Peter,Sorry to hear of your troubles. I wouldn't stop contributing because of a contrary post. I think most here are sympathetic and understanding. Gary 
My new Tyler Acoustics MM5x's
Erik,Thanks for the info. I enjoy the Ushers but never will say never. The bass in my room is pretty powerful when called for, but I’m sure there is better. I’ll try the toe in some, currently they are facing forward, no toe in.I’ve heard good thi... 
Speaker choice : need help between Nola and Sonus Faber
Fwiw, I don't own the floorstanders in the line but own the Minuet. Very enjoyable speakers, in my opinion. I traded for them and listen to them more often and longer than any other speakers I've owned. I'm going to up size to the Prelude or Prelu... 
klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Did it again... Front wall - not back wall... Dang. I need to use the preview feature... 
klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Oh no- sidewall, not sidewalk! Sorry, I'll run laps tomorrow! 
klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Tomtab,Enjoy your speakers, my man! This isn't a spelling bee! I'm glad you like them, I've enjoyed several models of Klipsch through the years and know some Khorn lovers- though I've never had any in my house. I'm not opposed to them- and they do... 
B AND W 801 MATRIX SIII
I had a pair of 801 s3 with golden flute bass alignment and sound anchor stands. From what I've heard the 3 is the one to own. They need some strong juice to get the best from them. In my setup they were not very forgiving of poor recordings.Ultim...
