| Center Channel Dialogue Center channel speakers are generally a problem solver, not a problem creator. This one is perplexing. From my perspective: 1) Accurate, high resolution center sound is not leaving the preamp. This has not been my experience with Marantz surro... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? Maybe we have changed over the years? At an earlier time, our musical experiences were more social, shared, and engaging. No "sweet spots", just good sound (and good friends) anywhere, and everywhere. Placing gender differences off to the side fo... | |
| Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four! Okay. It’s time to get real here. The term "bind" is defined as to "tie or fasten (something) tightly." Anyone who’s tried to shove a Dyson in between a wall and their speakers, whacked a cable, and dislodged a banana connector "binded" to their ... | |
| Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four! The terminals on my vintage speakers are 2-way. Or, is it 3? I was feeling pretty good about them when I woke up this morning. Now I wonder. | |
| Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners? That would be fun. Wish I was a member of the club, but let these (like many others) pass me by. | |
| notable consolidation possibility, should I or not? @sbrownnw "said they cannot list Simaudio on their available products page but really didn’t go into detail why, does anyone know why this would be?" I’ll take a shot at this. As a retired dealer in multiple markets, a dealer may be authorized ... | |
| The Marantz Model 15 Amp Nice amp. After the dust settles and you’ve become nice and comfortable with the amp, you may consider upgrading the "captive" power cords with something better. I have a fair amount of handson experience wtih vintage Marantz, and your Heresy IVs... | |
| Tim Bachman of BTO passed at 71 BTO was solid and produced many epic songs in their day. The Guess Who’s Undun rates with the best of the best rock/jazz songs of the era -- IMHO. Some threads invite colorful, lively polical conversation (What Became of Magister?). This one not ... | |
| Audio Research in Receivership. A lot of moving parts here. Taking the high ground, ARC may have stood firmly by their origional mission statement and operated as such, long after "the numbers" didn’t align with those objectives. As far as Axpona is concerned, there may have be... | |
| All Stocked Up and Nowhere To Play I think we may be overthinking this just a bit when we communicate the benefits of vinyl to the uninitiated. For example, if we'd stop referring to record changers as "electro-mechanically engineeered record sequencer and retrieval systems"' and... | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much @mdalton All good points. And as @markimiller suggests, IF this is the dealer in question, he might be an old burnt out purveyor of audio hardware that's ready to trade in his surplus gear for a golf cart. My intent is not to win (or, lose) an... | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much @mdalton My point is that during the "interview process" there are certain key words that throw up a red flag and indicate that the potential customer is a "shopper" and not a good prospect. How this is framed and communicated matters. The deale... | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much The first MINUTE of the interview process between potential customer and dealer is the most important. It is during this period were it will be determined IF there is a valid reason for either party to continue pursuing their obnjectives. Key wo... | |
| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? This forum is a good way to share initmate thoughts and get to know fellow members a little better. Sometimes that not a good thing. Guess the cat's out of the bag? | |
