| Kudos to Keb Mo & Los Lonely Boys My cousin in So Cal just made and sent me a CD of Los Lonely Boys. They're terrific. It's not likely I'll get to see them cause there's not much call for Mexican rock bands up here in Montana. Maybe if they play "The Gorge". | |
| window near my listening point and excessive bass Try putting some oversized pillows or blankets on the floor in the corners and see if you hear any difference with the bass. This might lead you to purchase official bass traps (or not if they work and you can live with them). I use a body pillow ... | |
| Is this rude? Bigjoe brought it up and Slappy refined it. None of this is about products or the feelings of salespeople. Products will sell themselves or send you on your way somewhere else. This is about the salespersons time to shine as a helpful person. I ma... | |
| RIP Ray Charles You know, as I listen to "Born to Lose" right now i almost have tears in my eyes. Many of his songs were sad, but this day makes them just a bit more sad. Goodbye Ray, and thanks for sharing your soul with all of us. | |
| Parasound Vs Adcom I use the Parasound HP 850/HCA 1000 pairing in my secondary 2-channel room and am very happy. I'm gaining more respect for the John Curl designs everyday. If I were to upgrade from my B&K in the HT room, I'd be looking at the "A" series or Hal... | |
| Building from scratch... why not go 6.1 or 7.1? The back two speakers in my 7.1 setup are on 14" stands with the speakers facing up toward the ceiling. I only need to move the reclining loveseat out into the room about 8-10" to accomodate the stand's base. Of course, not having the couch direct... | |
| Anyone familiar with Blue Jeans Cables? Marco, do you use bleach? | |
| How long for IC cables and Power Cords to break in Idid just what Darrylhifi suggested. I was breaking in two P/C's and long speaker cable runs. I think when I finally turned everything off, it was 114 hours later. | |
| Crossover frequency Test tones and an SPL meter might help. Set your sub to kick in where your B&W's start to roll off. Even though you might have sound down to, say 35Hz, they might be down 10db at 35Hz starting at 50Hz. If this were the case, I'd set the sub X-... | |
| Sonus Faber HT completed. AVR/DVD needed. I have a B&K upgraded 307 and the Arcam DV-89. It's a great combination. | |
| My first real hi-end audio system Please advise Don't sell the equipment. Add to the speakers if you need to (listen to the Revels first to hear what they sound like before you try to match them) and there are many small subs that might work. If you want a great DVD player for under a grand, lo... | |
| What kind of music did you/will you get married to I knew the Bride (when she used to rock 'n roll) by Dave Edmunds | |
| What are your favorite monitors? Hall monitors. Somebody has to keep those kids from running at school. | |
| Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions I did an A/B with B&W Nautilus 803 and the Monitor Audio's. I couldn't believe how constricted the sound was from the Monitor's. These were fed from a Pass Labs amp. Only your ears can tell you what's right for you. | |
| Those damn Brits I love the UK audio stuff. UK and USA equipment make up 95% of my two systems. |
