| 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... | |
| What is your favorite cover? Quicksilver Messenger Service - Happy Trails (Roy Rogers & Dale Evans) Tomita - Pictures at an Exhibition (Mussosky/Various Artists) The Force - Star Wars Disco (John Williams) Manfred Mann - Blinded by the Light (Bruce Springsteen) Honora... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! @firberger Glad to put a smile on your face. I never owned a pair of 901s. Then again, I never owned a Volkswagen Bus. But, I can certainly appreciate whey they had a strong appeal and emotional attachment to their owners. | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio @gkr7007 Absolutely on board with #1-6 related to your Cornwall performance mods. I like to add a few more: 7) replace all internal cabling with the same (or better) cabling used from the amplifier to speaker terminals. 8) bypass PC traces on ... | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio @rajugsw The exit from my roller coaster ride aligned with the decline of my quality of my hearing. I became a much more tolerant of imperfection when I couldn't hear the difference anymore. Now I have 8 cars, and less audio equiopment. Your ... | |

| For all you Bose 901 Haters! Part 1: The Bose Phenomenon Love them. Or hate them. Bose 901s were (and remain) a phenomenon. Whether they are more impactful as a cultural phenomenon, or an audio phenomenon is a good topic for debate, but 901s were and are a phenomenon.... | |
| Audio nonsense @noske On the other hand, would you support the establishment of an independent regulatory outfit to govern the sale of all products associated with audio industry? I don't see this (or, any) forum as the gate-keepers of truth. Nor do I see ... | |
| Audio nonsense @noske Earlier in the post I referred to intellectual humility, and how items and/or technology that I thought were bogus, when finally given a fair audition, took me by surprise and became solid performers in mine (and other) systems. It seems... |
