| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @bigtwin Okay, I’ll see if I can save a little crediblity here. Tom Bailey’s "street legal" ’69 Camaro ran a best of 6.73 @ 210.83 MPH in the 1/4 mile last year at Hot Rod’s Drag Week, and he drove the car home. The Bugatti Chiron runs a (very im... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @4krowme My Audio Desk CD cutter is my CD's best friend. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @gdnrbob I agree. When the "total package" is considered, there's little argument that well-designed late model cars are the winner. It depends on the objectives, I suppose. And when you narrow the scope you can focus time (and, money) or specif... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @edcyn You nailed it! And, yes, drag racing and competition car audio have not been kind to my ears. | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? Recently (past 5 years) some cable manufacturers have incorporated "newer thinking" in their power cable designs. These have, in some cases, resulted in a 2x improvement in performance vs cost. Even considering cable prices increases of 40% (or,... | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? @4krowme I don't get the power switch on the back, either. Just wondering if the cueing can be "fixed" with some experimentation with dampening fluid viscosity? Cool speaker project. Looks like you're created a point source when the speakers ar... | |
| Opinions before purchasing @ghdprentice +1 | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? @4krowme So, you're saying the turntable doesn't sound Schiity? @garebear Good one. Why didn't I think of that? And, BTW, you're the first totally positive responder to this post. 😀 Thanks to both of you for posting. Just wish I could go back... | |
| Did you notice.... Digital audio is like trying to draw a circle with an Etch-A-Sketch. But, we’ve been practicing a long time, and we’re getting pretty good at it. | |
| Opinions before purchasing @ghdprentice The closet system checks all the boxes for the elements of an impactful, yet highly detailed system. Wish I could have heard it. We often overlooked just how good "high end" car audio systems could sound, when done "right". Although... | |
| Opinions before purchasing On the topic of small rooms: I owned an A/V operation and enjoyed offering "creative solutions." After one-too-many customers stating: "My room’s not big enough for Home Theater", we decided to take a little action. I ordered a 30" x 30" British... | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? @valinar The intention was to inject a little humor into the forum. Your comments, and sense of humor, are very much appreciated. John | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? @valinar Thanks for the mild comment. I was expecting brutal rebuttals with statements like: "Who's the dumb/dip Schiit that started this thread?" That's what you were thinking? In that case, thanks for taking it easy on me. | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? @ghdprentice It appears that I may have overestimated Schiit's value as an A'Gon friendly brand. My bad. Sometimes my inner 9-year-old wants to come out and play and the urge is very powerful. I should do a better job of putting "him" in the co... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change Maybe I can offer some items of interest here. Back in "the day" we were unacknowledged technology enthusiasts. It just wasn’t called "technology" back then. We were the original "early adopters" anxious to gobble up the newest and greatest "tech... |
