| Why does my laptop annoy me less than my rig? Qualia8, I am using a B&K PT3 MKII about 2003 model.There are no mechanical knobs on this preamp. All settings including balance, bass, & treble can all be adjusted with the remote. Can't remember the reviewers name but he said that he had... | |
| Why does my laptop annoy me less than my rig? Hi Qualia8, it is true that some folks are satisfied with a Bose system maybe because the importance of the ultimate two channel system don't appeal to them. Or in our way of thinking they just don't know what they are missing. True audiophiles ac... | |
| Why does my laptop annoy me less than my rig? Qualia8, I hope you don't believe that by my above post I'm promoting a Bose radio, far from it, I was being a bit sarcastic. I've never owned a Bose product however I was more or less agreeing with you & understand the concept of your compari... | |
| I'm SHOCKED literally . I agree with Stereo Spencer & Jond if it is static electricity. Thats exactly what I was doing, touching a metal object to disharge before touching the stereo until I could figure what was causing the static. Opalchip keep in mind that static ... | |
| I'm SHOCKED literally . It has happened to me as well. It turned out to be static electricity & that some clothing I was wearing did not get a sheet of fabric softner when the clothes were dried, as silly as that sounds. | |
| What does 'Fast mean? Boa2, that does sound fast. You got anything faster? In regards to this hobby I do, how about a vacuum cleaner set to maximum suction hooked up to your wallet. Now that is fast! If you hear a sucking sound, you know where I've been. If anybody fin... | |
| What does 'Fast mean? Like my amp, my typing skills are fast but unlike my amp, I am not accurate. Rwwear, I agree more is better than less. Bbaxely2, it is understandable your girlfriend would prefer a slower hand, good sense of humor!In all seriousness an amp with se... | |
| What does 'Fast mean? Isn't that why some amps weigh a great deal, it slows them down, not very fast at all. Or you hear a track on your favorite CD, it is so fast, your not sure you heard it. Personally I think the speed of an amp is dictated by the ability of the amp... | |
| Don't let this happen to you Honest1, what a great, interesting & informative story! I most definately after reading this, have learned something, maybe to never clap again. | |
| Why does my laptop annoy me less than my rig? Since the main rig will never be sonically perfect and it never is, maybe we can stop agonizing and live happily ever after with the purchase of the all inspiring Bose Wave radio with the CD option? | |
| whats changed in audio & is it better The personal computer (a modern inconvenience) has changed the way we do business and our lives forever. I'm a tire kicker and much prefer to see, touch & hear a piece of audio gear before I buy it. Of course once you bring it home sometimes i... | |
| running musical x-150 230 volt amp on 110? Qualia8 it is good that you didn't take a chance with the incorrect voltage for any length of time. The amperage is different for 120v & 230v and also explains why the fuse value will have to be changed once the voltage is changed. Maybe 120 v... | |
| How much is too much... Hi Thegoldenear, although I have not personally heard either one of the speakers you mentioned above, I would strongly suggest that you go with efficient speakers if you don't want to invest in costlier amps that are over 100 watts per channel. I ... | |
| Older Audio Research Preamp Capacitors - ? When making a purchase and the ad states the seller had new caps installed the first thing you should ask is who did the work. If done by the seller himself you have to wonder if the new caps are the same value and if installed correctly. If non-p... | |
| running musical x-150 230 volt amp on 110? Long time ago, I used an amp that was wired for 230 volts on a 120 volts. The amp played fine & no damage occured but the amp probably did not play to its full potential. (I still would recommend having the correct voltage set as soon as possi... |
