SHIPPING speakers? IMHO, this is the only way to ship speakers. $100 worth of material. Piece of mind, priceless. If the speakers are worth this effort.......... Cheers | |
Do you prefer tall speakers I'll take tall speakers over close talkers any day. | |

Room Treatments and Orientation for Unfinished Basement Listening? Here's a rather long read but worth it. Lots of information and links to sound rooms. https://digistar.cl/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=557 This calculator for room dimensions is very good. https://www.acoustic.ua/forms/rr.en.html Cheers. | |
got my PayPal 1099 /// what now? I should think you can simply enter any numbers that make sense to you on your return. Proof will only be an issue in the event of an audit. I suspect the chance of an audit for the sale of some audio equipment is slim to nil, and slim doesn't l... | |
Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation This has been the standard practice with FedEx for as long as I have known them. I can't remember the driver even knocking on my door or ringing the bell. They drop (literally) the package on my door step, take a picture and drive away. The pic... | |
Replace tubes yearly? Aside from tubes, Paul's suggestion to keep your equipment powered up 24/7, is contradicted by many manufacturers. I know this issue divides members into two camps. My own amp manufacturer recommends turning off when not in use. Claims the soft... | |
Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? I might ask how committed you are to the decision of buying the new amps, if your first concern is how easy will they be to sell. I say buy what you think you will enjoy the most right now. Who knows, you may have them for 10 years and the resal... | |
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? @mahler123 "You’ve self identified as one who places significant value on the aesthetics of vinyl, which renders sound quality issues as secondary " Excuse me if I find that statement somewhat condescending. And you are not the first member on ... | |
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? @grislybutter I can say with some authority, that a golfers constant upgrading of equipment is not unlike this hobby. The endless pursuit of the smallest improvement. And the honeymoon period with a new club is much like the confirmation bias w... | |
Reaction to possibly the best live rock performance I've heard. Grand Funk I remember owning the original LP back when I was 16. Thought the band was great. Tried to listen to it decades later and realised how badly it had aged. IMHO. Now I understand why my parents winced whenever I played it. | |
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? @immatthewj Are you sure you didn't mean Hot Tuna? Live at Berkeley '69? Smoke it if you got it. 🤣 | |

What were your top musical discoveries of 2024? That kids today still listen to shite music. | |
The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing @jea48 I'm in Mexico for the winter but will look at it again when I get home and resume my basement development. I think the First Surge claims to react within a nano second. The amount of time it takes electricity to travel 12 inches. If I c... |
