| WHO IS ATTENDING THE SOUTHWEST AUDIOFEST IN DALLAS JULY 23-25 DOWNTOWN SHERATON HOTEL? I stopped participating in Calvin's threads just because of the capitals. | |
| Help! Treble Trouble! Don't give up, you can get to the bottom of it! | |
| Do you have any gear that was outright given to you? Some large Advents before going away for college. | |
| Best Supertweeter I agree with timlub. I finally gave up on supertweeters because I just couldn't get them to stop muddying up the bells and cymbals. It was frustrating to me! | |
| HiFi Kit Building- have you ever built any hifi gear? A Dynaco and Heathkit builder here. When I moved out of the dorms, we bought some pro JBL drivers and built very large speaker cabinets. This was the start to many years of multi-amping. Still listening to a quad amp system to this day. | |
| KAB RF1 Sobsonic Ruble Filter - Worked but feels like I lost some sound quality Bill - I don't agree with you. The slope on the KAB is only 12dB/octave. I've been building crossovers for 55 years. | |

| Favorite Led Zeppelin Album Led Zeppelin II. | |
| Favorite Supertramp album? Crime of the Century. | |
| What is the norm? How many of you use the subsonic filter with your turntable? I use a subsonic filter, -3dB at 8 Hz., 24dB/octave. I use it when I listen at loud volumes. It can be switched in or out through a tape monitor type circuit. | |
