| Worst or Best Excuses! I've been married for over 35 years, I guess she's used to me by now.No questions about the audio gear and it's cost, LOTS of questions about all those bass traps on the walls & ceilings! | |
| Sellers Beware!!! I have had two bad experiences, where a potential "buyer" communicates with me via Audiogon's "in mail", negotiates a "purchase price" with me either by "in mail" or by phone, the tune is always "cash & local pick up", but they decide to reduc... | |
| Dynaco A-25, the Large Advent, and JBL Century L-100: which one nad the best sound?? Wow! Back in the day I had all three of those speakers, driven by a McIntosh MC225, then a McIntosh MC275 and finally a Marantz 2275 receiver.If you listen to a lot of rock & roll the JBL's would be my first choice.If you listen to all sorts ... | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's Stevizzy,I had the Sopra's "dialed in" to the room, then later, when I added a pair of sub woofers and was dealing with the "boominess" in the room, adding bass trap after bass trap, the soundstage that the Sopra's were really great with suddenly ... | |
| Vienna Liszt vs. Focal Sopra No2 I have had my Sopra No2's now for five months and am smitten.Having said that, I auditioned them in a room about the size you mentioned and they sounded "good" but didn't sound "great" in that smaller room, with an 80 watt per channel integrated d... | |
| Speakers that open up at low volume levels They weren't my "cup of tea", but you might want to audition a pair of Harbeth's, if you like that "English sound". If not, I'd recommend auditioning a pair from the Totem Element line as well. Both are very smooth, very musical, great sound sta... | |
| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? Very funny! Never heard of speakers smelling.I received a pair of Focal speakers in September with beryllium tweeters and a notice in the owner’s manual about the dangers of ingesting that metal.I texted one of my audio buddies to see if I should ... | |
| Subwoofer cable recommendations I went thru this process a few months ago, when I received a pair of JL Audio F113V2 subs.I enjoy Wireworld cabling for my interconnects and speaker cables and bought a set of their "Oasis 7" cables with RCA connectors to use with my former Velody... | |

| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? I haven't experienced dollar limits with PayPal. One of my dealers told me that, using their "friends and family" feature too often, he was nailed by PayPal (not the government), as they caught on to him being a dealer, so I started sending him p... | |
| So many variables with audio Audiophiles often have very strong opinions and aren't shy about sharing them. Some of those opinions are rooted in a high amount of "judgementalism", but this is a hobby, and if you like something that some other "expert" doesn't like, I wouldn'... | |
