| which direction do this cable go? If the cable has a arrow, that arrow is usually included only for convenience. (Arrow points from source to loudspeaker). It's merely a suggestion in all but THE most esoteric designs. Generally once a cable is broken-in in one direction, it needs... | |
| Under rated speakers due to price....? Tweekerman: I'm not sure if that comment was directed at me or you. But anyway, FWIW, I have started re-evaluating planars for my own system in the past couple of weeks. They do do a lot of things well. And now that I have a separate room for the ... | |
| my girlfriend & I tried over 10 diff positions kelly: while listening,its always better with music in the background, lol. Having the music playing while moving speakers only made my point all the more dramatic. In fact in moving the speaker back into place the negative cable had wiggled lose ... | |
| CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ? Wow, I had an Aiwa XC-30M 5 disc carousel. I guess I should have never sold it to my brother for $25, LOL. It just had too many blinking buttons and noisy loading sound when it shuffled discs. I think this was the forerunner of the XC-35Ms and XC-... | |
| Hsu or yamaha sub? Hsu has lots of low bass energy for the $$$. Great for HT. Though I'd probably get something else for music. | |
| my girlfriend & I tried over 10 diff positions Man is that ever blantant false advertising or what? LOL. I had my little brother over the other week and he brought over some CDs since he wanted to listen to my system. He was so amazed at the soundstage, even on my modest system. then after sev... | |
| Under rated speakers due to price....? Tweekerman, you do know there are sonic drawbacks to ESLs, right? ESLs are impressive in the own right. But, it's not like they are the Second Coming of Christ, or something. | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers Amen Queg.Great music on good speakers is like a drug. And we'll all addicted! It doesn't matter what type you listen to, so long as you enjoy it. Cheers and happy listening! | |
| Where R U????? I'm from Cleveland,Ohio.Very close to Hopkins airport. I live in a little suburb called Brook Park, OH (44142) which is 10 miles south west (mostly south) of downtown Cleveland. I used to haunt Hi-Tech Hi-Fi on Mayfield Road, a local highend 2 cha... | |
| Need remote control advice The Theater Master SL-9000 learning remote is supposed to have a very strong IR signal. I have a Marantz RC2000 mk1, myself. But considering how expensive it was ($250 new, $75-100 used) I can't recommend it over the SL9000, which seems to cost fa... | |
| New gears? Yep 2.73s were a joke. If I remember right with 2.73s and a t5 5speed, I would only pull 1200rpm @ 60MPH in top gear. Pretty much only a fast idle for a windsor 302ci. You'd get awesome fuel economy. But who cares about fuel economy on a muscle ca... | |
| "naked" listeners Swifer *charged* cloths. I clean my speaker cabinets, cones, and "gear" with them. Though technicaly I use the Endust badged product, since I can get it a little cheaper in my area. | |
| New gears? New gears? Only for my Ford Mustang! I like 3.73:1 gears the best. They really get you in the powerband quick. And when I'm not "banging gears," I can haul most of my gear in the back with the seats down (sans speakers). All my gear. Though I wish... | |
| Any tricks to keep cats away from speaker grills? My tactic is a dedicated room with a shut door. I ended up conditioning them to never enter that room (different color carpet). So in case I do leave the open, they usually stay out. And they know I mean business too. I lost several cone surrounds... | |
| Vandersteen 1C with 2Wq or 2Ce Sig or 3A ?? Budget is roughly $1500USD. Though I'd like to save some of that and apply the remainder towards a better DAC. I'm guessing the DAC will have to wait. :-)I appreciate the input, guys. How's the sound quality difference between the 1C, 2Ce, and 3A?... |
