| Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice! Coinkydink! I just picked up a NAD 1155 this week on A'gon. Paired it with a NAD 4150 tuner, also bought at the same time, and my GFA-535ii (to test it out after the fuse replacement that started this thread). Even using an ancient pair of Realist... | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead A-r-r-o-o-o-o!!! | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead My apologies in misspelling in his name at the beginning of this thread - it should have read "Ozzy". | |
| Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice! They definitely are - I have three of them (GFA 555ii / 535ii / 7500), and they are all workhorses. The amp was not at fault....I had it hooked to a multi-speaker switch and tried to swap out a set of cables on the switch while the amp was on. I t... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Folks - think about this.....the buyer is probably somewhat nervous (that's not the correct term, but it's early and I can't come up with the right one) about meeting a stranger in their home. Sure, there are bad people out there who are up to no ... | |
| Subwoofer with center channel I think we may be confusing/conflating two different issues in this thread. I read the original question as applying to a center speaker with an integral subwoofer, not a separate sub altogether. I have four different AV systems, and one of those ... | |
| KEF "Q"uestion You are quite the sleuth, gkelly; I didn't mention the price, but you got it exactly right. I am taking a test disc with me that will test the frequency response of each speaker. | |
| According to wikipedia Brian Wilson has passed away What a legacy he leaves behind - I'll never forget hearing 'Good Vibrations" for the first time in a McDonald's parking lot in Atlanta when I was in high school. The Beach Boys music was just plain fun to listen to, while some of their ballads wer... | |
| Fed Ex makes good Any carrier (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.) is only as good as the employee handling the package at any given stage of the shipping process. I have had more bad experiences with UPS than any other carrier, and that's probably due to the luck of the draw.... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. One film that I don't think I've seen mentioned is Matchstick Men with Nicholas Cage and Sam Rockwell. Kind of a The Sting variant, but just who gets stung? The sub-plot involves Cage's character trying to make connections with a daughter he didn'... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. In the late 70s, fifty cents was probably equal to $2.00 today. Albums typically were around $6.98 each at that time, so I got a credit of $3.00 by trading in the six albums out of my collection. The others were probably real dogs because I don't ... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. One of the stupidest things I have ever done was to trade the only Carpenters album I owned in at the local Peaches store in Atlanta. They were giving a 50 cent credit for used records toward new albums, so I picked out a few from my collection th... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh 50 years ago (early/mid 70s), Marantz was bought by Superscope and the response among audiophiles at that time was much the same as what we're seeing here. Now, the classic Marantz gear from that era is selling like hotcakes, with receivers like t... | |
| Now What? Thanks for the suggestion mahler 123, but the actual solution turned out to be so obvious that I overlooked it. Those with higher tech IQs than mine will laugh, but all I needed to do was re-establish my WiFi using the Surfboard's ID code. To thos... | |
| Digital Sputter or Stutter? Yeah - I just need to get some real-time experience under my belt (like the 53 years I've had with analog and digital (CD) equipment. |
