| Reviewing the Reviewers Trelja, Howard Cosell WOW...funny how we perceive things. I always think of Trejla as thoughtful and considerate (sometimes to a (minor) fault). I have only seen his passion released as of late. Keep at it Trejla, I love passion and it has mostly ... | |
| Woodworkers ? Prfont I would certainly take more stock in what a professional restorer offers. I am a hobbyist although I have extensive and many years experience in such matters but in reality my advice isn't for novices. Listen to the expert. | |
| Woodworkers ? Amen to a plane over sandpaper | |
| Woodworkers ? J K I do see your concern but my concern with a very fine grit paper like 600 or higher is that it may bring out more sheen than the original finish and thus show up more. These grits are primarily for sheen, polishing and removing irregularities ... | |
| Woodworkers ? Depending on the depth of the scratch and the thickness of the veneer. First rule of thumb, less is more in such matters. I would try a very fine grit sand paper (no less than 220, depending on the depth of the scratch) and use a soft rubber backe... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I've never heard a large system integrate everything in a natural way. They always seem to foul up the bass to my ears. Live bass is much faster than most of those big drivers produce it. I have no best but consider the following very memorable in... | |
| Bose Infomercial Bob Bundas - The part about fooling some of the people ALL of the time is "all it takes baby" witness Mr. Popiel, he's just so excited and everybody wants in. "I just bought one for my daughter and....." enthusisam, that's the ticket because peopl... | |
| Bose Infomercial Blbloom I like his (Ron Popiel) Rotiserrie; "Set it and Forget It". Kind of like the Bose system. | |
| Audio Research comparison Well I am probably going to get some heat for the following comments but feel I am entitled to make them since I am a BIG ARC fan and have owned and still do several of their products. I believe they are on the cutting edge of tube designs. I ALSO... | |
| Audiogon sabbatical Hey Kubladubla, you ever try stand-up? You're the guy. | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? Sorry Plasmatronic for disrupting your very thoughtful thread with the above uncalled for comments. Not my proudest moment. Also a sincere apology to anyone who read and may have been offended. Sincerely Will | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? Well Kelly I certainly agree but who's responsible for allowing it to happen? I have this vision of the Audiogon staff laughing out loud at our obsession with this subject as Kilroy Pinhead(s) frantically runs from one poster to the next giving hi... | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? My old dealer is long since gone. He got into home theater and interior design for a while when hi-end sales started falling and finally just closed the door. There are currently NO high-end shops within a 100 mile radius of where I live. About a ... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers I agree with much of what you say Detlof. However I think you underestimate how many people feel betrayed by the true motivations of most of the mainstream rags. It didn't use to be the way it now is. There was more integrity when there was little... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers Well Eldragon I myself am an existentialist when it comes to audio matters. This is a capitalist society we live in. And the way I see it, it kind of works something like this "Never let the whole truth get in the way of making a buck". We HAVE to... |
