| The problem with PLC OP, I'm ready to pay well over the "market price" of $700 and invest $999 on a pair of your PLCs. Just let me know when they are ready to ship, your PayPal info, and I'll clear my old speakeres out of the way for them. I'll just set my old one's... | |
| Patio tunes I'm not sure of your situation, but I'd assume that you're looking for a best balance of performance, cost, and convenience. Ideally, you'll have a system you don't have to transport in & out, or set up/tear down. IF you have the ability to ... | |

| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @ghasley "reputable companies who build serviceable gear are the ones around for the long haul" Very good point.

| Bose 901 VI flat? @jonicurn There was something that attached you to these speakers at some point. Only YOU know what that is. We service vintage audio gear and have had many 901s and/or associated gear come into our shop. Typically the owners are VERY happy with... | |
| Worth fixing? @qialah I like @vinylvin 's suggestion to try cleaning the contacts. A zero cost approach to the problem is a good starting point. Only YOU know the sentimental value of this unit. I spend one day a week with my tech of 25 years doing exactly... | |
| Bose 901 VI flat? YIf you finally got your dream speakers keep them! i’d get rid of the Sony receiver. Not being able to use the Bose EQ is a deal breaker. The onboard “toys” destroy definition and and crush dynamic range. The 901s don’t stand a chance to sound li... | |
| How to test speaker cables by ChatGPT ChatGPT2023: “measure your cables, etc.” ChatGPT 2033: “I find your music boring and redundant. You’re not getting enough exercise. I’m powering down your smart outlets now.” | |
| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? Staying in good health may not improve your listening experience, but it’s been proven that you’ll be listening for awhile longer. | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. I’ve tried to install subs in a Mazda RX7 (rotary engine). It’s darn near impossible! | |
| un-becoming an audiophile I like erik’s suggestion of studying music history. Focusing on the music and not the system seems like a sane approach to the problem. i remember reading The History and Culturre of Drag Racing. Aftewards when doing a smoky burnout I was able ... | |
