| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers Okay, sorry for the smart--- response. Just saw an opportunity and went with it. I love my grandkids and little furry guy. My speakers are 6’-4" tall, so I never worried too much about critters (including the human kind) toppling them over. I did... | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers Portable kennels are easy to deploy, and can accommodate children up to 75 pounds. | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables Better speaker cables, yes! I may have missed reference(s) to room acoustics on this thread, but certainly worth looking into (if you haven’t already). Congrats on thinking outside the box with the T-7 mods. Typically "mods" will calm down certa... | |
| on the cheap If I “streamed” my sister, I’d have to upgrade everything in the chain to get that much data through the pipe. | |
| on the cheap Kinda blow away, actually, with how much they can cram into this little boxes for the money. I go back to the day when the price of admission an "entry level" CD player was $700, our best-selling VCR was $679, and 42" plasma televisions were $14,0... | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear The King's Singers: Hard Day's Night Fourplay: Between the Sheets Flim and the BB's: Brekken's Farm Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters: Kansas City Monarch And, popular rock hits that they've heard a gazillion times, but never experienced on a ... | |
| A valentine poem to tubes Tubes glow red. Mac meters are blue. If your system has both. Thumbs up to you. | |
| 20 Years? @chayro Has an epic and historic ring to it: "One score, and 7 days ago, I ventured forth into an interchange of ideas with a rugged group of individuals with a similar nterest in reproducing high quality music in their homes." I'll be 92 on my... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box Good topic. It’s nice to "get the low down" on subwoofers from guys with a lot of experience with the subject. Adding to the small vs large conversation: Its been stated that speaker distortion is directly proportional to the movement (excursion... | |
| How does bi-wiring work? We need to recognize that the concept of bi-wiring came from speaker manufacturers, not cable manufacturers. Some of the most brilliant, and respected minds used real science to reach their conclusions. Based on my limited understanding, when a ... | |
| Humminguru record cleaner @czarivey " I use DeWalt drill to grab a spindle and spin those fast till dry." I've got an older 18v Dewalt and have been looking for a good excuse to upgrade to the 20v. Thank you. | |
| How does bi-wiring work? "Bi-wiring" is not a marketing ploy. But may not be the best way to get the most bang for the buck for some listeners. All things being equal, if you break out the total gauge of one cable into 2 cables, you'll be adding manufacturing costs in p... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... @crozbo Yes. And I’d like to add that good cables will improve the sound of an audio component/system, regardless of cost. Examples: speaker cable upgrades on a $300 compact shelf system. Power cord upgrade on a $99 (retail) plate amp. There are... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio @hilde45 Winner: Best Topic of the Day I’ve found in my 40+ years in the industry that the near (or actual) genius level individuals are the most intellectually humble -- and the best listeners. They are masters at relaying highly technical con... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @c_avila1 "Have you ever upgraded coupling caps? If you know, you know. It’s part of the hobby for me. Sorry if that bothers you." Sounds like fun. I think some fail to realize that even the most brilliant designers/manufacturers have retained... |
