| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @roxy54 Nicely done. A good example of what you'd hope to read when you open a post on an audio forum. Happy to hear you've found the right speakers for you On a side note, I've always thought the Klipsch CF-4s were one of the most "under app... | |
| How can they not effect the sound Using a vacuum is a very good idea. If all else fails, try grabbing some Gorilla tape and ease the sticky side into the indention. Then a gentle (or not so gentle) tug. | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore Renting/leasing a Nissan forklift to raise my amp while I dust under it. Speaker grilles Pop up ads on vinyl. They really mess with the stylus in a bad way. Kiosks and/or self-service of any kind. It's really difficult to hold the mirror AND t... | |
| soft dome versus hard dome tweeters Curious fingers are incompatible with hard dome tweeters. | |
| Woodstock 1969, or 1967? @bdp24 I always enjoy your deep dives into music and culture. And thanks for sharing the (very informative) video. A comedian recently said that the purpose of entertainment is to create a common culture. This assumes, of course, that you accep... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? There are those whose entire universe is formulated around predetermined outcomes. "I feel this way, and here are the 'facts' that make it so." This leads to subjective truths: which (sometimes forcefully) inflicted on others, can't be challenge... | |

| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? Stereo amps have a broader appeal. Especially among novices and uninitiated. “Yeah, cool. What’s a mono?” | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @ritter06 19" Sony Trinitron: "I don’t know why everyone loves these. " The most watched TV in my home is still the 9" Sony CRT hanging under the cabinets in the kitchen. 30+ years old, and counting. No service required. Ever. Yes, I had to "du... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. As a bit of a "speaker nerd" (earned a speaker patent), I found this video to be fun and informative. Danny comes across as knowledgable and credible. Having "radio face" myself (a face for radio) and being neither entertaining nor spontaneous, ... | |
| It Pegged the Needle on My "BS Meter". Now, I'm A Believer. Ever Happen to You? @kennyc I follow your logic here. Numbers 1-7 are valid, for certain. "The only way to prove that I like a component is to try it in my own system, everything else is speculations" is the real litmus test. I find that reviewers can range from "... | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? Experimentation and sampling of new music has given way to experimentation and sampling of new supplements, exercise routines, and monitoring what goes into (and out of) my body. | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? @calvinj Taking the question: "have you ever made a cable change that opened up your system to new heights?", my response has to be "too many to count." As a dealer for 40+ years, I have to admit that I had a little larger "toy box" than most to... | |
| Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted Sad. And, disappointing. I’m certain that Mac is not particularly happy with their level of service, but scarcity of technical resources may be the issue. Let’s face it, given the choice of career paths of mature young people today "fixing other ... |
