| Why a digital media player instead of a dedicated computer? I'm sticking to a 'puter, but planning to return to a dedicated one. I've a Cooler Master low-profile case that can hold a micro ATX board, 2 CD drives if I opt for that, and has enough space for a pair of terabyte drives. The plan is to have it... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? At this moment...Supertramp, "Take The Long Way Home"Spooky Tooth, "Waitin' On The Wind" (Ain't nothin' like a Hammond C4...)Elton John, "Madman Across The Water" | |
| You can only take 5 albums to a deserted Island... If it was a 'world class system' it'd have access to stream-casting, Spotify, et all. And it'd have to be one hell of well appointed 'deserted island' to be able to support and maintain said system...which I'd hack Something building a raft to ta... | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? Upper drivers for the V.4's partially completed and tested. Wonders never cease, they work AND pretty much as intended. Having 4 units 'act' the same, at least to one's ears, I'll chalk up to spending a certain amount of time 'building between m... | |
| When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade? Building and listening to my set of 4 Walsh speakers. Next upgrade is the new and improved version of the same, in the same quantity.Unlike the original Ohm's, they're a '2 way' with a smaller unit above the lower and larger driver. The larger d... | |
| Help wanted: Bass! I'll vote with Eric....get some measurements so you can analyze what's really going on before playing the 'musical equipment swap' game or other high $ experiments. Treating the room (which you'd rather not do anyway) can be avoided with active e... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? I can't resist tossing my 2 sense into the fray...*G*Theory and the math behind remains the same; we measure them better and more precisely now...Materials and means have improved; 'mass market' offerings have improved, but are subject to 'cost an... | |
| Retract offer I think the common thread is read the rules of the pool before you venture into it. It's always the fine print that'll rule the day.Sorry about your plight, sang. Good luck with it. | |
| Anybody else using a distributed array sub system? noble1K, thanks for posting about the DEBRA. I'd not known of this approach to subs or sub systems. The whole concept appeals to me and makes too much sense IMHO.'Distributed bass' in your case reads as being more 'seamless' with the balance of... | |
| Speakers Women Like My spouse likes my AMT's. We owned a pair of AMT1B's decades ago, and even she was sorry to see them go.......until I bought another pair of the raw drivers. We both agree that they sound lifelike and effortless. And I get to play with finding ... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? Hey, Watts! It's not all that bad all the time. *G* That particular forum had all the earmarks of becoming a 'black hole' around page 2. I'd return just to see if it had calmed down...see if anyone had mopped up yet...;)Mapman, it just seems th... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? Case in point:Thread "Are audiophiles still out of their minds?" is Still roaring on. Like watching a slow motion cat fight at times. But some live for conflict apparently.... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? Any opinion expressed here should be taken with a varying sized salt sample...including my own. ejr1953 has it right, and the depth of the opinion will vary with the level of esoteria involved. And as the esoteria level rises, the level of advoc... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt A suggestion: If it's density and stability is what you seek, you might try stone.My shop (not audio, sorry) is next to a countertop firm. They generate an enormous amount of 'drops' from their projects, many suitable in size for any tt/arm comb... | |
| Can I use a multichannel amp to bi-amp my speakers A multichannel amp will only work to bi-amp if each 'amp section' has it's own input, which (as noted) requires an active xover. In my case, I've dispensed with a pre-amp, gone to active eq, and use a matrix (actually a pair) to control inputs an... |
