| How to tame a bright system? As I went down the thread, I was going to ask why no one is bothering to mention the room, but Snarfie23 saved the day, and with empirical measurements no less. Measuring isn’t everything, of course. But I can offer you my personal, anecdotal exp... | |

| Not Sure If This Is OK Here, But Here Goes I am suspicious as a general rule. But in this scenario, as long as you are being paid securely up front, and provide no personal info, it's on him to get your speakers shipped securely for the final leg of the transit. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? "How do you determine that you enjoy listening to music through your stereo?" How do I know when I am enjoying anything? Let me start by checking my pulse to see if I'm alive. Geez, I am not a therapist. | |

| Great song to test bass "A Child Is Coming" - Blows Against the Empire - Paul Kantner/Grace Slick/"Jefferson Starship" (really, The Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra, or PERRO) - at about 1:27, Jack Casady’s bass becomes the lead, then the solo instrument. "Laughing"... | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I bought a power conditioner decades ago. It made a not insignificant difference. in my new home, a dedicated line was run directly from the circuit breaker in the mechanical room to my audio room. I've found that the power conditioner still m... | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. Rolling Stones at age 9 was my favorite, everyone else was into the Beatles. Replaced by Jefferson airplane at age 13. Liked the Doors also. At age 16, I was a clique of one in my Catholic HS listening to “(It’s a Chill Wind That) Blows Against th... | |
