| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 How does the fuse add "space" around instruments? Does it make the electrons go faster? Slower? Adds molecular grease of some sort? Electron happiness? Electron purposefulness? Do the caps and diodes and transformers simple feel better working wit... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Once I've found ICs or speaker wire I like I tend to forget about it. Most of my rig is solid core AQ stuff, balanced wherever possible...including some "Type 8" speaker wire that supposedly uses Real Good copper and sounds fabulous…or at least I ... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? When I was first "turned on" (!) to the joys of pot smoking in the mid 60s (the years, not my age) we were utterly terrified of being busted for it…years later when I had friends who were Honolulu police officers they pointed out that they always ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I'm utterly unconcerned with seismic vibration, although I do have vibrapods under things and a set of groovy cones (had those for many years…they look GREAT) under my preamp to add ventilation and because they look cool. All costing me very littl... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Half of geoffkait's posts are re-posts of whatever he's responding to, which I feel is a waste of pixels as what he's responding to is already there. That said, I also feel that there's a lot of money spent needlessly on various spiked or isolatin... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Also, I found that holding my breath until I faint doesn't work well for music listening as you risk falling over and smashing your face. Also, never drink and operate a chain saw especially in a small dimly lit room. | |
| Vinyl at Bed Bath and Beyond? Yes, for real! I was born in "that era" also and I have LPs going back to the early 60s (some earlier) and have found that there's nothing more convenient than putting one of them on my turntable to listen to it. I listen to digital stuff plenty and like CDs…my ... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? I read somewhere that legalization really affects the over 60 crowd, as they might try an edible for some reason, but otherwise most people either smoke or don't regardless of the legality. In my state (MA) you pay a couple hundred bucks a year on... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? I like extreme high end stuff…I read magazines about the latest Ferraris and McLarens and Rockports (the speakers, not the shoes…although I'm sure the shoes are fine) and Richard Milles. I own 2 sort of high performance German cars (although one i... | |
| Now it's subs I think REL is missing out on a a marketing opportunity by not making a backwards compatible "Longbow" wireless gizmo, as I think a lot of current REL owners would love to bag the cable (or cables…I had to combine 2 REL cables into one connector t... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? There's a Richard Mille watch I like that costs $650,000. (I'm saving up). I think it also has some carbon fibre in it, and it is likely latte resistant. | |
| Now it's subs If dragon-vibe needs further advice or assistance on whether forums are an appropriate place for a sales pitch, let me know. | |
| Now it's subs RELs take the signal from the amp and allow you to leave the mains alone, or you can unplug the mains and listen to the sub by itself which doesn't sound very good at all. You can also leave the amp off and hear nothing from either the mains or th... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Stand facing one direction and have somebody play guitar while running around you. This proves nothing, but I thought it was an interesting image anyway. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? As somebody who plays instruments and runs live sound for small venue shows, I beg to differ on some points bandied about here (are they being bandied? I'm not sure but whatEVER). Speakers project sound through drivers pointed someplace (remedies ... |
