| Room Size - Front Port vs Rear Port Speakers It's useful to dig a hole in the wall to accommodate rear ports...and note that I think it's tawdry to even mention "rear ports" in mixed company. | |
| Setting up an audio system Mesch...any issue regarding paying too much attention to what you put in your CD tray is obviated by a simple solution: Only put CDs in the tray. Also never underestimate the value of proper clothing while listening to music...my butler dresses me... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear The "negative posts" comment was a sort of rhetorical question regarding MY posts in response to comments by others...I suggest you read things and try to understand what the words actually mean (!), except for the obvious satirical bits which I d... | |
| Setting up an audio system Two options: Take piles of time auditioning various things and make well thought out decisions regarding the compatibility of the components and how they will work with your music preferences, room size, refined esthetic sense, flannel shirt colle... | |
| How do you roll? First LP on a new TT. I was covering some of Glass Houses in a band back when it came out, and at the time I was blown away with the deeper cuts (and got tired of the hits real fast). A friggin' great album...Ronstadt said at the time that "New Wave is whitey's last st... | |
| JOLIDA Issue Tubes can fade away or die spectacularly, both of which has happened in my 502p with no issues issuing from the amp. That's tubes for ya. A note on Shubert's post...I love my NOS UK origin Mullard 12AT7s, but I've had really good luck with Russian... | |
| Setting up an audio system The "old vinyl" deal is something I can relate to. I've kept a pile of LPs dating back to the 60s and bought a "Spin Clean" to clean the damn things after putting together a new phono rig. I've noted this before but it's still worth mentioning (or... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear Do the "negative" posts regard the speakers themselves or the inane and seemingly desperate promotion and silly technology claims? I still claim that a sensible website with less magical nonsense, rational promotion through the normal channels (sh... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I think somehow my post was not well understood by After_hrs, but grabbing any opportunity to become hysterical may have health benefits...so it's a "win win." | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear My goal as an audio forum bully is to see weakness and POUNCE. I hope this provides the answer to the question "I don't know what Wolf is trying to do." I don't enjoy this (or I really do enjoy it), but hey...it's the law of the jungle. By the way... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Your gut tells you there is no issue with 150s as does my previously noted survey. This must be digestion related. | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' Ushers can help you find your seat. | |
| Speaker Stands Question If the tweeters are lined up with your ears you have to not slouch while listening unless you were slouching during set up, in which case you have to always slouch. | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' When faced with a choice, always go with Silverline speakers for two reasons: I own a pair, and I want those guys to stay in business in case I need something from them. Was that two?...two and a half? | |
| Room Size - Front Port vs Rear Port Speakers The only generalization that can be made is the obvious one regarding the fact rear ports generally should not be put against walls. Otherwise there are SO many differences in the designs of small speakers that the phrase "any port in a storm" doe... |
