| It’s true what they say/and a question @grislybutter "0.01% of us the ones with the talent and the eventual instinct to save humanity." As a "YOUniter" I’m with you. Sometimes it seems a bit like attempting to clean up your neighborhood with a battery-powered leaf blower -- during a... | |
| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! The wife is taking a glimpse into the future and comes to the realization that this may be "the good ol' days" when SHE still owned most of the Living Room -- before stereo, garden hose sized speakers cables, acoustical panels, paragraphic frequal... | |
| Worth repairing a Velodyne ULD-12 from the 90's? @russ69 "I don't think so, not a fan of down facing subs." I've found that ugly woofers are more esthetically pleasing when they are down facing. @sdberman "Not working" is a pretty broad description. As @musicfan2349 suggests, refoam kits ... | |
| Can anyone identify this equipment? Looks like a Kashmir SWHmkII. | |
| Digital Reclockers are they worth the extra Effort - IMO YES Yes, but resetting them twice a year to compensate for Daylight Savings Time gets a little annoying. | |
| Receiver $10k receiver? If you really want a single-chassis solution, I'd take a really good integrated and outboard tuner and strap them together with some of those cool stainless steel zip ties from Harbor Freight. | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. As long as our ears remain "analog" there will be the need for amplifiers to "motivate" speakers via cabling -- even it's internal. Quality matters -- even SHORT distances. If I'm following your logic here, my best response is that products with... | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions @bipod72 Your choice of possible speakers is right on. Other options listed here are great as well. I approach audio from a "bang for the buck" perspective as well as "risk factor(s)." It appears that the "little" Marantz is going to be part of... | |
| Toe in is crucial As a famous race car designer once said: "If you want to shave 100 pounds off a race car, you have to find 1,600 ways to save an ounce." | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) Good stuff. Here's one: It's been reported that the artist of the of the most memorable bass intros in rock n' roll history was too drunk to stand up in the studio to record it. So, he recorded it laying down on his back. True? Or, false? If ... | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! I've had 50-year-old gear that's been laying dormant for decades power right up and play beautiful music on our test bench. I've also had pieces literally catch on fire (moments after I shot off an email to let the customer know their equipment w... | |
| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? Obviously written by someone who has gotten up close and personal with the subject matter. Very relatable. And, hilarious. Thanks for sharing. I shot this link off to some of my audiophile friends. Made their day(s). | |
| Moon 340i and Speakers The "600 Series" B&Ws are a value-driven, high bang-for-the buck speakers that compete very strongly in their price class. What you are experiencing is not so much a "tweeter" issue, but the aggregate of good, but not great, crossover componen... | |
| Creativity on artists I dislike It's a Cloudy with a Chance of Showers Day Quicksilver Social Media Service And, an actual group in the midwest: The Well Hungarians | |
| Has anyone upgraded the crossovers on Spatial Hologram M4 series loudspeakers? I try to approach speaker mods beginning with simple/cheap, and progressing to custom-designed/built crossovers. The quality of cabling and connection methods is often overlooked -- even by reputable crossover upgrade services. Short wire lengt... |
