| Best Live Shows 2006 ? Michael Bolton once threatened to kill Conan Obrian with a baseball, I think that was the only interesting thing he ever did. My wife also used to listen to him...some things cant be explained. | |
| PMC Speakers:"Best Buy"or just another speaker? Dont go in to listen with negative preconceptions. PMC is well respected in pro sound and domestic sound in the UK. I have the FB1 floorstanders I purchased from an audiogon member(by the way they feature a 6" woofernot 4.5"). They do reveal diffe... | |
| Plastic ring over tweeter opinion Read about another great use for duct tape in the "Why so many" thread next door... | |
| Why so much music for sale? If as a child your parents had hung you upside down in a straight jacket in a closet in the dark with a transistor radio duct taped to each ear tuned to different stations after giving you LSD coolaid you would not be asking this question. | |
| Best cheap projector for small HT. Although I dont have a recommendation, I would like to echo Unsound's advice on warranty and bulbs. Anyone who is shopping for a projector or projection TV should be aware of the high cost of replacement bulbs. I usually look at the extended warra... | |
| Expectations low, listening pleasure high. I would strongly advise Camus to seek medical attention at a clinic or his personal doctor. These things only get worse, he could go blind! | |
| Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD Phasecorrect is, uh, correct. We AMERICANS are falling woefully behind in education and if our elected officials continue to give most of OUR money to military contractors and only lip service for education (look at the last spending bill) our fut... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Needed Someone listed Wharfedale Evolution 30s for $650 today. They popped right into mind when you mentioned room size and budget. They are noted for big sound with solid bass and should image well also. And they are quite attractive in my opinion. Thes... | |
| Does LAST Preservative DULL sound? I will not comment on the effects of the LAST products because I do not use them. I would like to say that the argument that the LAST treatment reduces the "openness" of the sound of vinyl and "smooths over detail" have been around for many years.... | |
| Anyone notice House's loudspeakers? TV guide magazine did a feature about the House house and totally omitted the stereo. This was strange as there seemed to be an effort to emphasize the fact that he listens to vinyl. Its funny to see Hugh Laurie called "the thinking womans' sex sy... | |
| Anyone Heard The New Larry Carlton CD? I have been a fan since he was in the Crusaders and his work with Steely Dan. His lp "Friends" is one of my all time favorite 'fun jazz' albums to listen to. I will have to check it out. | |
| Distortion from Dahlquist DQ-20... If they need reconing that would be something you could see, are the cones or surrounds damaged? If not it sounds like the voice coils are rubbing, not a good sign. I would have them checked out by a professional and be prepared to replace the bad... | |
| Blues recommendations anyone? Eric Clapton's solo on "Strange Brew" was lifted note for note from Albert Kings early hit "Crosscut Saw", but if you really want to hear his influence it would be on Stevie Ray Vaughn's work. Young Albert King taught himself to play holding a rig... | |
| Any John Hartford fans? I remember John Harford all the way back from when he was a guest on shows like The Smothers Brothers and Glen Cambell shows. He was "Americana" before it was a musical catagory. | |
| Does the Spendor S8e invert phase? I once read a review of a Vienna Acoustics speaker in which the reviewer discussed the merits of the crossover that inverted phase for the tweeter only. The reviewer as I recall preferred the speaker with the tweeter restored to "in phase" by reve... |
