| What should I expect after installing a new power management system? Hello, emergingsoul If you can get a "Niagra quality" power management center and appropriate power cables installed in your system for evaluation, I would do so. I would suggest, however, that you either a) wear some Depends, or b) have an extr... | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... My wife tried to warn me that yesterday's attempt at humor would be an epic fail. She is a wise woman. I'll tlry to do better next time. | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... I'm intrigued by the transition from the checkbook to electronic banking. If someone has more information on this subject and is willing to fax it to me, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you. | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @rsf507 Glad you had the opportunity to get your hands on various premium outlets and develop your own viewpoint . That's a pretty strong commitment in time and energy (literally). I'll simply say that the AQ Edison got me from zero to 60 in abo... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle The addition of the Audioquest NGR Edison may be, dollar for dollar, the best bang for the buck I've ever spent on my system. I was expecting "something". Wasn't expecting anywhere near the magnitude of sonic improvement they delivered. Have go... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? A more correct statement by the salesman would have been: "a really high end system can make most mediocre recordings more enjoyable to listen to." While we can't expect a great system to file down all the "warts" in a bad recording, we can expe... | |
| The magic of outdoor listening Wow. Sounds like somebody got up this morning, slipped into a new pair of BVDs and forgot to take the cardboard out of them first? As a group we're probably not the guys who, when turning into our street driving our hot rods, depress the clutch ... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? VERY good information to add to my (limited) knowledge base. Might also explain why it's extremely difficult for me to endure the 3rd (and featured) act of live performances? As the evening progresses, the "tech" running the sound board bumps... | |
| I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting? I have "radio face" -- a face made for radio. Save me a front row seat -- as a spectator. | |
| The magic of outdoor listening Okay, guys. Don't try this at home. Unless, of course, you love bass, pyrotechnics, and the shocking look of bewilderment on the faces of your guests. This is a project I did a while back. The concept was to use the bass vents from buried subw... | |
| I am so happy..... Great posts!! It's been said that as we get older we choose between the "scerinity," and "the hit". Inner peace, or the next adrenaline rush. Music can give us both (sometimes in the same piece). I disagree, in principal, with the statement: "... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @hilde45 +1. And, thank you. | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? The short answer is "yes", but if you put it on a graph it would look like a "smiley face" with the biggest gains at the budget level and extreme high ends. The mid-band of the range has been generally getting it right for quite a while. Gains i... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity Here's some cuts that come to mind: Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters- Kansas City Monarch Stevie Ray Vaughn - Tin Pan Alley (Roughest Place I've Ever Been) Jennifer Warnes- Invitation to the Blues Satori in Chicago - a song by Noah Wotherspoon | |
| Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective Short Answer: Yes, speaker technology has advanced. But, it would resemble something like a "smiley face" if you put it on a graph. The greatest gains would be at the low end and extreme high end of the spectrum. Long(er) Answer: Speakers... |
