| Heed the warning! My soundsystem and records are a pile of ashes Congressman Sherman did some more research and found this as well: Additional Assistance for Fire Victims The information below describes federal assistance for fire victims. Here's som... | |
| Equipment insurance coverage I took a quick look and unless the law was changed, you have the option to remove personal property coverage and not the insurer if you live in Florida. And if you rent or live in a condo, it cannot be taken off the policy. There were a lot of sh... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I wouldn't worry about brightness levels as TVs have, indeed, come a long way. Brightness levels on OLEDs are just fine for me as I don't keep the windows open while watching. That, and the brightness levels other types have used to be warned agai... | |
| Heed the warning! My soundsystem and records are a pile of ashes So sorry to hear about this. I live across the hills in the San Fernando Valley. It's been rough and I'm not even in the mix of it, save for the air quality and a close call on the ridges near Encino. Like you said, nothing is more valuable than... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... Negative reviews get way more press than positive reviews. It's always been that way. Like already stated, Costco and Best Buy are two good choices that come to mind. I've bought TVs from both and had good experiences from both. They come in, help... | |
| Let's talk about Silver... I’ve been using Darwin Cables for many years and they are the best I’ve heard. Not bright, great base, wonderful mids, airy highs, detail without etch, etc. They get out of the way of the music like cables are supposed to. Low mass connectors, ver... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? +1 onhwy61 | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement I use a cheap carpenter’s laser that my nephew gave me that looks something like this one, I just center it atop my monitor and eyeball it while aiming at a pillow where my head would be, using the top of the sofa as a gauge. I used to be fasti... | |
| A question about trim rings around speaker drivers This question has came up before and after reading through all the responses, I tried it on some speakers I had at the time that had visible screws. Every screw required some tightening with a couple that needed more than a quarter turn to do acco... | |
| Modding a Oppo 103 I did something similar to that with a ready made piece from a different make and it went smoothly with the install. I forget if there was a big enough of an improvement and it ran rather hot to the touch all the time so I took it out and put the ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Yes they do. I'd try plugging the ports which would lessen the base boom while retaining some good, tight base and experiment toeing them in to your satisfaction. See if that works. If not, then monitors may be all you need, like the Revival Audi... | |

| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @grunge1000 In regards to $2000 PCs, I think you'll find most here, me included, in thinking it's overkill. I've only spent as much as $500 for some PCs and found easily discernible differences and at that point, called it a day and just listened ... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @grunge1000 Your hypotheses of all the variances in power that a power line goes through in it's 100s of miles journey presupposes variances in its power delivery, cleanliness and stability, so why would it matter by the time you get in at your ... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? How did you get "aging electrons" from this? It was never stated or implied. What's with the trolling? Is it that the more it makes sense, the more you refuse to entertain the idea? I'm glad you don't hear a difference but to pollute a thread on... |
