| How To Clean Piano Black Speaker Finish? I've owned a few Taylors and still own a couple of 'em, and Novus works on the poly finishes as well. | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Anybody know who Richie Hayward was? I rest my case. | |
| Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s I've used the warm water ear wax removal system for decades...thick peroxide drops in the ears, a rubber ball thing to squirt water in there and the wax just comes out. Easy and effective. I NEVER stick a q-tip in my ears...never ever. The warning... | |
| How To Clean Piano Black Speaker Finish? A friend who is a guitar repair genius recommended Novus...a plastic polish supposedly, but he saw it at the Collings guitar shop and he was sold...so am I...I use the lightest version of the 3 available (#1) on everything from my motorcycle hel... | |
| Full Range Drivers and SET's, why is a classic combo? I use Heresy IIIs and a 12wpc (depending on output tube used) Dennis Had Inspire "Firebottle" SEP (pentode) power amp and it's an astonishingly good combo...loud and clear and a sub or two makes it really work. | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? Selling 2500 LPs to help finance a "comedy feature film" would net enough money to hire a grip for half a day. Maybe one light...15 minutes of a steadycam... | |

| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) My Heresy III "Capitol Records" edition (meaningless relative to other Heresy IIIs other than the "special" ebony finish that looks like dark purple) pair are built like little tanks, and if you knock on the sides you get nothing more than a bruis... | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) I'd be very surprised if anyone would buy these relatively gigantic speakers for 15 grand, and after moving the furniture around in their ballroom or airplane hanger would sit there and say, "these suck." I'd bet these buyers know what's what with... | |
| New Magico A1 Bookshelf Speakers! At least the Magicos won't rust or warp. | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? I can assume from this thread that few here actually know any young people, or the fact that they often pack venues like Red Rocks to see actual musicians (my daughter lives in Denver, and she and her friends all seem to be serious live music fans... | |
| Barometric pressure, temperature, moon phase? Remove your hat. | |
| SET amplifier recommendation There's a Dennis Had SEP amp for sale (not mine, but similar) here...that could sort of solve any Coincident issues. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp A note about balanced pro audio...In my long career as a concert soundman, I can attest to the fact that NOBODY unplugs a balanced anything while the system is powered up, and if somebody does I will possibly throw them out of the building. The ba... |
