How do you judge audio components and speakers?
I tried to count the number of "Post Removed" notifications, but I ran out of fingers and toes.  That's the only way I know how to count and I can't "carry the one", so can someone else give me the tally?   This thread went downhill faster than ... 
How do you judge audio components and speakers?
@mahgister Do you run the fans on low, medium, or high -- what effect does each setting have on the sound?  Have you experimented with filling the gas can with different levels of fluid?  I would think a metal can vs plastic can would make a big ... 
Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k
@reubent -- I do not use a Sub with the Gen 4's.  Bass is quite remarkable.  They are in one of my listening rooms approximately 15' x 15'., , This review describes it much better than I could!   The Gen Four is nominally a bass-reflex design wi... 
Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k
@reubent -- I will give you a fair warning....if you stop by Watkins Stereo and Bill, Jr., demos a set of Gen 4, you will walk out with a lighter wallet!  😆 They are amazing.  Especially at $2,500 a pair.  They punch WAY ABOVE their weight.  I wa...

ZZ Top may be "the little ole band from Texas", but Watkins Stereo and Loudspeakers is the little but GIANT speaker manufacturer from my hometown of Kingsport, Tennessee that has been blowing audiophiles away since the 1970’s. Bill Watkins, Sr., i... 
Where is best place to sell vintage WiFi?
I'm sorry for your loss.  May I ask what part of NC?  I live in Winston-Salem.  
Smart buying buying a preamp with tubes anot avail except as made by preamp manuf?
Moderators,   You do a fine job deleting threads that contain opinions you disagree with -- yet you allow bullshit topics and threads like this one shoveled by @emergingsoul.  SMFH.  
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
@artemus_5 ,If you are enjoying the Judas Priest "British Steel" album, give a listen to their 2nd studio release, the 1976 album, "Sad Wings of Destiny".  A very well mixed and engineered slab of vinyl that was the beginnings of "Heavy Metal".  A... 
Sopra 2 Bass
@izjjzi,This was a very refreshing and rewarding post and thread to read this month.  I've enjoyed following "the enjoyment and discovery" you've had as a newcomer to the Audiophile World -- and I've especially enjoyed NOT seeing posts from the us... 
I really could use some help here.....
@stereoisomer ,Congratulations, my Audio Brother!  Maybe it was in the way you laid out the parameters of your question, the clear and precise details given, or perhaps simply how you adamantly made it known up front that toxic members need not re... 
Mega dollar systems. 200k on up. What are their professions?
@millercarbon, Thanks for the info, Chuck.  Unfortunately, my back had not acted up yet, so I am very familiar with the "Not my first rodeo" waste of time.  I don't think anybody would think he was a rodeo novice -- considering the amount of bulls... 
Mega dollar systems. 200k on up. What are their professions?
"csmgolf, you make a good case. Do like I said, report him. We got one post removed." -- @millercarbonChuck, I got behind looking at the daily posts last week because I was under the weather, and there was a post that was removed by the Admin --... 
Do no harm to a signal! Does this mean.....
@russ69 -- My point exactly.... "...BTW it’s cable not wire... Words Count..."That would depend on the construction of the "cable". A pair of un-wound wires or ribbons would not be cables.  
Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
"So, it's official. We've found an outer limit where even MC agrees, this is Bull$$$$" And lo and behold, yet another prophecy given to the Children of Fatima on May 13, 1917, has been fulfilled.  And there was much Rejoicing (yaaaaaaaay).http...
