| The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver I have to jump in here, as I only have black pieces in my system and feel silver is a distraction. The rack is between the spkrs, so it's right there in full view.I've tried to compromise by having silver gear w/black knobs & handles (ARC) and... | |
| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? I've been using an earlier but not quite vintage model with my garage system. In the nearfield position, these are absolutely incredible but quickly lose their punch when used from a distance. A little tweak I discovered is to shorten the captive ... | |
| Shipping Overseas With a separate account, paypal can only seize funds from that account, not the account you use to pay your mortgage, electricity, water, etc. I use this account strictly for paypal and my standing balance stays under $5.00.I'm just playing it saf... | |
| Shipping Overseas Paypal is ok if you use some guidelines. I have a completely separate account at another bank and wait until I've withdrawn the money before I ship.The invoice thing is about paying duties. I've had several overseas deals & they all worked out... | |
| DAC's ? I got mine for free & it benefited from a 1 hour upgrade using parts I already had. I see you already found the ebay stuff, as that is what I was going to recommend next.I would suggest checking out the archives not only here but on other audi... | |
| DAC's ? I have the Rotel 855 & it's a decent player, having the TDA1541A. I tried it with a DAC but the digital out was bad, which made the next move easy. I replaced the analog out jacks with much better quality pieces. There wasn't enough room for t... | |
| Making the best of mediocre speakers First, welcome to Audiogon!Here's the deal. You're simply not going to be able to get that "sweet spot" of sound with in walls. Tell the wife you not only have to get the in walls, but you have to install at least 10 separate tweeters in the ceili... | |
| cables for von schweikert vr4 speakers I had VR4 GenIII's & ran them with both a true bi-wire set & a jumper made out of the same cable as the single run. There was no appreciable difference.There was a huge difference when bi-amping/bi-wiring. | |
| Tweaks As for isolation devices, there is a ton of info on AA and in particular, a "shootout" of several well know devices conducted by Zog under "isolation devices binge" in the Tweaks/DIY section. | |
| What was your most engaging audio experiance I ran sound for a rock band back in the 70's & one particular night the Les Paul played thru Marshall tube stack was like a giant boxing glove softly hitting my body. I've never experienced anything like that since & I still run sound. | |
| How to keep ic's and power cords from touching Go to hardware store & get small diameter pipe insulation. You can cut small lengths w/scissors & slip over cable where touching. Doesn't add any weight. I use a combination of misc. pieces of foam to separate cables. To keep cables off th... | |
| How loud do you like to play your music? Hey wait a minute Gawdbless. Utterly useless buzzes & beeps in your car? What, no more chauffeur?BTW, dB meters don't measure to the ten millionth. | |
| Ordered from beatles.com - BS I've been following the thread on the Steve Hoffman site. It's been an interesting read, so from that I'd say it looks like your copy is going to be from the 2nd pressing.Some of the folks over there have already received their boxes & if you ... | |
| How loud do you like to play your music? When I had a bigger system, I liked playing it over 100dB continuous at times because it sounded great but like a few folks have mentioned, it depended on the recording. I suppose the average was mid to upper 90's.With the monitor/sub system I now... | |
| Threshold S/300 Used In Mono Mode I would give Jon Soderberg a call to see if it is possible to modify your amp for mono operation & to find out what his recommendation is on the best way to proceed. |
