music, colors and psychic abilities
I don't audition my equipment either. Neither before nor after buying it. I just listen to music. So I suppose I must be psychic too and like Albert's girlfriend, when I was at college, I could stop girls as well, also just with my face, but I nev... 
music, colors and psychic abilities
Sean, its probably a case of double personality, so I can't help it. Actually I like it. It makes my stereo sound like an all stator HT-system and I don't even need a screen with all those lovely hallucinations. As far as the tack hammer is concer...

Very amsuing. Thanks Sean, Bob for sharing this info with us. Goldin's attempt looks like a new iteration of several attempts to use colour preferences in clinical psychological testing, some of which I've used extensively in earlier years but lat... 
Quad ESL 63's worth repair?
Now this brother in arms, Rdr4b, speaketh nothing but the truth. Its like being married to a highly temperamental, headstrong women: Sometimes bliss, sometimes hell, but never a boring moment. 
Quad ESL 63's worth repair?
No Greg, actually I wanted to, but I couldn't, because my thumb was still tacked to the speaker. That was another time, when again a 63, just on return from a refurbishing, made strange rattling noises and passed out on me.......must say, in the e... 
Quad ESL 63's worth repair?
Now how the heck did you know that Sean!!!?? You're right, I gave it up, after I had inadvertedly glued myself to the bass panel of a 63, got immobilised by having duct tape all around me, burnt a hole in the diaphragm with the soldering iron and ...

Quad ESL 63's worth repair?
I've been using 63s for years, for the simple reason that " they do a lot of things right". After about 6-8 years of use, they'll go bad on you. Mostly its the panels, sometimes the electronics. Even if only one speakers conks out, you need to sen... 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
Well spoken Tweekerman!! 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Someone, I think it was Albert, perhaps in this thread or perhaps in a similar one, pointed out, that it was important to make quite clear, right at the start of a relationship, ones dedication to music and the consequences this might have, so the... 
Best match electrostats for Jadis JA-30
Oops and thanks Rcprince, in a bout of Alzheimer I thought it was Tweekerman's thread and he had bought the 988s. Its Tateb's of course. So my apologies and thanks Rcprince for making me set things right. Regards, 
Best match electrostats for Jadis JA-30
Congratulations! I know, uncalled for advice is a pain in the xyz, however... try to place them about 1/3 into the room along its longer side and then play with toe in. If the room is narrow, don't be afraid to go near the side walls, planars can ... 
TAS new look-the end is near?
Blkadr, I used to love that too, the snobbery and the exquisite rudeness, besides, lest we forget, HP not only taught the most of us what to listen for, he also gave us a language to express it in and Bishopwill, his superciliousness at least was ...
