| can we get to the bottom of what "rare" means in a FS banner Starting the eggnog early, eh? | |
| Lemon HiFi-Tuning Fuse? I'm sure it's just a one-off. I've got about 6 of them in my components and they've been fine for a few years so far. Knock on wood.All the best,Nonoise | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism First worm out of the can.It used to be conventional wisdom that treating the edge of the CD with a green marker would lessen the scattering of the laser's reflection while reading the disc, or something like that. That also led to whole disc cove... | |
| Securing Monitors to a stand I set my monitors directly on their maple stands. The stands were made to fit the size of the speaker and they are fairly secure the way they are. I tired using Herbie's BF Dots but they muddied up the sound. Sitting directly on the stands gives t... | |
| MIT Cables new "Articulation Control Console" $45.000 for speaker cables? Oligarchs need the best you can buy for them.You just don't know it.Yet. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Shake, rattle and troll.Everyone should just agree to disagree and move on. This thread has more legs than a centipede. | |
| Power cords for UHD Blue ray. I went from stock to GTT PCs (those flexible blue cables with clear molded ends) and the picture was better. Anyone could see the difference. What really improved the picture was when I tried some Cullen PCs. I have a plasma TV and thought the bla... | |
| DEAR AUDIOGON STAFF: Please remove/fix floating ads that block what we are reading!!! I agree with dill. I've never noticed what you're describing as I have Ghostery installed on my iMac as well. That, and AdBlock, are wonderful aids. All the best,Nonoise | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps I believe rvpiano said it best. There’s been lots of threads about this already. One member mentioned awhile ago that a SACD player needs to be on for about 2-3 days to sound its best. Others have stated that SS gear needs to be on 24/7 unless not... | |
| Which song has fewest words ever? Yellow, Oh Yeah.I believe only the words, oh, yeah, and beautiful are used, several times, but just those words. | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks You say you've had the problem with the speakers since new. Just how new are they? I ask this because my Clearwave Duet 6 monitors took a long time to break in and had similar sounding highs to what you describe. All is well now.What helped to bre... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 It took about 4 days for my HiFi Silverstar fuses to break in. I kept the amp on 24/7 and would turn up the volume now and then to get a handle on the sound. I still don't know or understand how anyone can hear an immediate improvement, but that's... | |
| 15" is deep enough Now I really feel inadequate,shelf wise. | |
| What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers? Soundbars probably help keep the cost of TVs down but are essential to having decent sound for your TV. Other than that..... | |
| Listen...chair I was considering the Poang chair until I got all hung up on my Barcelona chairs (would have saved some serious change as well) but I wanted a new look. Having said that, the Poang chair is just about ergonomically perfect for listening and feels ... |
