| Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great? The KLH Model 20 "Amazing Music Box" was my first experience with hifi sound. A buddy was telling me great his new stereo system sounded, so I decided to drop over after school for a listen. Here was this dinky little chassis with a turntable stuc... | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? @jumia I’m with @ghdprentice on this one: "Only when comparing to other cords. This is not a pursuit with absolutes… maybe the desire, but we live in a world of imperfection." As with many audio pursuits, experimentation is the key to success.... | |
| Show off! @clearthinker "I'm surprised the bass did not destroy the Toyota." I did joke around with people and tell them my car made so much bass, I had stretch marks on the trunk lid. "Of course the Bach piece has far more merit than as an audio demo. ... | |
| If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like? @erik_squires "I think he at some point made a resonant shaking table or something like that, which standing on it could be fun for a short time or an extreme laxative effect if you stood on it too long."

| If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like? @curiousjim "The only thing I know for sure is it would run on AC current.😁" That's for sure. But, I'll bet Edison is smiling out there somewhere knowing how much AC is converted to DC inside those boxes. | |

| Show off! @roxy54 The Blood Sweat & Tears (first album) was my first introduction to "real" high fidelity. It was in the showroom of David Beatty Stereo in Kansas City, MO. Macintosh amp/preamp (MX113/MC2015?) and ESS AMT1s. It was just "clear" beyond... | |
| It was 61 years ago today... My dad had just purchased a stereo with flip-down turntable and foldout speakers for us kids so my brother and I could play music in our bedroom. (Probably had nothing to do with the fact that we were playing OUR music on HIS Admiral console stere... | |
| The Dope from Hope... @sevi01 Wow!! Thanks for sharing. My affiation with Klipsch dates back to 1982. I have a 1958 Klipschorn and Small Horn in my vintage audio collection. Good to see Paul, and his rumblings, getting the respect they deserve. John | |
| Interconnect advice needed @simna Sorry the speaker toe in/out did not work well for you. I believe it was someone else who made this suggestion. " I read on another forum a post from a guy having the same problem. He got the advice to experiment with toe out." I thoug... | |
| A public service announcement @jdougs It appears that you make more rational decisions while under the influence than a lot people do when they are sober. I wish you lived closer so I could offer you a few, then take you along when I'm shopping for tools ... or meeting with... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? @jerryg123 Got the sarcasm. I appreciate the comment. My (feeble) attempt at humor followed. Yeah, I'm married to a OCD hygiene individual. I get it. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? @jerryg123 ”nit picky..what is a nit anyway?” “The term originally referred to picking nits, the eggs of lice, from hair, and later to picking out the lice themselves.” You’re welcome. |
