| Any tweaks I'm missing? Add the RCA shorting plugs to the inputs of all of your audio and video equipment. Such a simple, inexpensive and effective tweak typically leads one down the road to more tweaking; but, you seem to already have that situation well under control.+... | |
| Cat jumped on turntable (My guess) "The cat is tired of Stairway To Heaven." If true, this seems to establish that the cat's actions are justified. What sayeth the jury? | |
| Mmmm Crow tastes good... I live in a condo and I have a subwoofer in my system. After installing the SVS SoundPath "subwoofer isolation system" (set of 4 for approx $70) on my subwoofer, I noticed cleaner and tighter bass. Plus, my neighbor confirmed that he was now heari... | |
| Can your system be optimized to sound better for classical or non-classical? Go to the Salk Sound website and check out their SS7F speaker.It has an "open back midrange" with 3 options: a) wide openb) partially stuffed c) closed offThese are options to help control room ambiance; and, it uses the example of listening to a... | |
| Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download? @nglazer, I agree; but, knowing how big of a jump it was from Snowmass to Windom, can you imagine how good the next update is going to be!?! | |
| Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download? Of all the comments I've seen on the PS Audio forum, no one has mentioned better percussion (be it bongos or congas, cymbals or drums); but, that is where I've heard the biggest specific leap in performance.Maybe this reflects the makeup of my aud... | |
| Most annoying song, period. @richopp, no apology necessary as I was just teasing; however, thanks for the laugh. God knows this thread has provided plenty of those, which is always needed.It's funny that you should mention "smashing the recording." One of my fondest musical ... | |
| Most annoying song, period. @mwinkc, something tells me that you can appreciate how painful it was for me to dredge that song out of my memory bank. A friend told me that he remembers Wal - Mart using that song in a TV commercial; but, I have no memory of that. So, both of o... | |
| Most annoying song, period. @richopp, why would I want my audio system to explode? I realize that all of us who've contributed to this thread are gluttons for punishment for having to be reminded of these god awful songs; but, blowing up my audio system is a bridge too far. | |
| Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download? Thanks guys. I've seen the comments on the PS Audio website that started showing up right after I posted this. After a good friend of mine (who is in the audio business) uploaded Windom and reported great results, I finally uploaded it this past w... | |
| Most annoying song, period. @shtinkydog, are you familiar with the Nick Lowe song "All Men Are Liars?"If not, I think you'll appreciate the following lyrics:Well, do you remember Rick Astley?He had a great fat hit, it was ghastly.He said I'm never gonna give you up or let yo... | |
| Most annoying song, period. I've been avoiding this thread because I knew it would be painful; but, thankfully, the humorous comments have more than made up for it.After scouring the recesses of my memory, I came up with a song called:"Gimme Dat Ding." I can't remember who d... | |
| Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download? I just checked the PS Audio forum and comments have started to flood in during the last 36 hours. There are many comments that the new download requires a break in period, which seems to defy logic; but, the anecdotal evidence certainly seems to s... | |
| Parasound Halo a23 The one time I heard it I thought it sounded too punchy, which overemphasized the low end. I was both surprised and disappointed with that amp. Perhaps there was a bad match with either the preamp or the speakers that it was hooked up to. | |
| It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day! @avsjerry, + 1 on all of your picks. |
