| Devore O93 vs Super 9s I have not heard the Super 9's. I have owned the O/93's for a year and a half and love them. Ownership bias aside, if you like them when you listen to them, why are you less excited when you get home? I will venture a guess that the wide front baf... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? It's hard to fathom that a $5,000 gadget that causes refrigerators to suddenly freeze up and need re-calibrating (which defies that fact that modern refrigerators have thermostats), causes home AC units to run 20% less of the time, causes impressi... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? OregonCaliorniaPapaDoc-I will ask you one last time-what did you pay $5,000 for? Since you have such confidence in the value of your purchase, why not unwrap the package and find out wha the heck you paid for? A bundle of nano-fibers or a bundle o... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? This is a Hobson's choice. How is one to know without either resorting to pure speculation or admitting that you were a rube who paid a boatload for fairy dust? You can't win either way. I prefer the former so I nominate based on common sense and ... | |
| I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ... Audio shows remind me of large cycling tours like Ragbrai, a huge rolling circus of cyclists riding across Iowa. It is a chance to be around kindred spirits and see lots of gear but you have to deal with crowds, porta potties, insular groups atten... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Mark my words; within ten years, probably five, this scam will be busted and you who keep chirping like lemmings on PCP that the products are worth it will be hiding behind new posting-names. Too bad this is not a real names-only Board. Indicator ... | |
| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER I agree with you millercarbon. At first, it seems daunting, but adding the arm of one's choice to a motor unit is not that difficult when the deck is designed with arm options in mind. And Stingreen, once again we disagree. The mis-named second pi... | |
| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER @soundwatts perhaps your reading comprehension is not the best. Your writing skills are not so hot either. I didn't have "and issue or two". I lived with multiple VPI unipivots for almost ten years. You went from one fiddly table-the LP12-to anoth... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Where is PPT and his wife? They were chiming in previously and now they are silent. I've been in this hobby long enough to know that PPT and his wife know exactly who Oregonpapa and Mac48025 are along with any other happy customers who chimed in h... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Perhaps I should have said if it looks like a gizmo, is priced like a gizmo, and sounds like a gizmo, it is probably a gizmo. Please consider this piece of thoughtful commentary by the ever-thoughtful and sane man of the times, Art Dudley https://... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ The Tice Clock? Huh? The Tice Clock worked great. The only problem with the Tice Clock- like a lot of things ahead of their time I trust and hope Mr. Kait that the last word quoted above was a pun. One thing is left in order for you to skyrocket... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I am waiting for the inevitable expose' that like the Tice Clock (that dates me), this gadget consists of $30 of materials wrapped in a nice bow tie for the gullible. Your constant repetitions of banalities does nothing but take up space in this t... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ @oregonpapa-I don't have a stick in this fire; I have no interest in this $5,000 white box and wouldn't install it in my house breaker panel (or anywhere else) if it came free inside a box of Cracker Jack (in which it would likely fit). I read thr... | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 Update on SME/Garrard 301 Very strange. The rep does not make clear if SME intends to ever start from scratch with a new 301 or simply continue to do re-builds of old 301's. It sure seems the latter. SME must have determined that the cost of tool... | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 Thanks for the info Audiofun. I always turn the 301 off using the 301 on/off lever on the left, then and only then do I turn off the PSU. I can sometimes be slow as a mule mentally. I personally installed my motor unit from one plinth to my new La... |
