| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos I got "Condos" the day it came out after pre-ordering it...I NEVER do that, and had no idea it would arrive the day it was released. Whoo hoo...the bad news is that my GF can't listen to Fagan, and barely to Becker (his 2 solo albums are BRILLIANT... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Live un-amplified muttering is an acoustic phenomena that, weirdly, is noiseless by nature. I worry more about the ACTUAL floor. | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I find that when I cram a symphony orchestra into my listening room they can't properly access their instruments...so everybody just stands there crammed together like sardines on a subway at rush hour...mostly without the sardine odor. Mostly. Th... | |
| Cabledyne - cable bargain of the century The "cable bargain of the century" has to be waiting for cables to show up used here or on Ebay and buying them unburdened (or merely entertained) by the endless pretentious hype displayed by cable manufacturers, or as in the case of Cabledyne, ca... | |
| Sealed vs. Ported Speakers PMC Makes well regarded transmission line speakers that include a bookshelf model, and they aren't so large, and the insanely popular Bose radios are nothing but plastic boxes with a couple of cheap drivers loaded with transmission lines...a conce... | |
| Sealed vs. Ported Speakers Magicos seem to be the primary example of modern sealed design, but they're so expensive they sort of have their own little world most mortals can't enter. Also, some designs have a port with a passive speaker plugging it up to aid in efficiency a... | |

| using a jumper cable - connect which set of post? I'm still upset...but calming down. | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I have to give proper "props" properly to my 10 or 12 year old REL Q150E subwoofer...I bought this thing a couple of years ago from an apparent fool who noted the grill cloth was missing but otherwise it "seemed" to work, for about 200 bucks. Gril... | |
| using a jumper cable - connect which set of post? The brass jumpers that came with my Silverline speakers are PERFECT. We're talking about an inch...AN INCH...now I'm all upset... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No My belabored and by now tedious point is that dynamics and slam and full range are not mutually exclusive relative to genre. If your system is capable of reasonably reproducing low notes, high notes, and middle notes, you should be happy. Skrillex... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I love the absolute distinction of how "rock" music is supposed to be heard. Classical music is supposed to be heard acoustically while surrounded with smelly old people in one of thousands of seat location options in a packed concert hall, and ja... | |
| using a jumper cable - connect which set of post? My experience with cars and motorcycles is that they ABSOLUTELY perform better when clean. Maybe the dirt causes tiny amounts of wind resistance...in any case it's an indisputable "personal" fact. Science says that, indeed, "strapped" speaker post... | |
| using a jumper cable - connect which set of post? See? I rest my case. I love this stuff. | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I use a tube amp with a MOSFET REL sub...thus I am conflicted as to what camp I'm in. Where am I, and who are these people? I'm frightened. |
