So you think you people can tell me I don't know morals? Well what you think is morals is not ****ing morals (at least not good ones). I can and WILL tell you what I think is moral and what's not, because I am ****ing better than you. It might be impossible for you idiots to think, but I am not...

...I will always knock all of it. Drugs and excessive alcohol usage are for people who are so weak willed they need an escape from real life and like a panzy can't just deal with it. Why anyone wants to be drunk I'll never understand, because I'll never do it. I don't object to someone having a...

Ah, a subscriber to Internet Rule 30 eh? (For those who don't know the rules of the Internet, Rule 30 states "There are no girls on the internet") Because knowledge is power! :cool:

True that, digital signals can't really be degraded the way an analog signal could be. It seems silly that connectors would be the big price factor for most cables, but it does seem lots of people complained about the RCA phono connectors being too loose on Monoprice - fortunately I don't need...

Well, from what I've learned there's one basic principle you should follow if you're not already a well cultured Audiophile: Don't listen to a bunch of different speakers! That's what turned the guy I know - with at least 30 pairs of speakers ranging from Linns, a full NIB KEF set, Klipsch...

I saw that first one, seems like it'd be especially expensive since "some guy" custom installed something or did something to it. But again, negated by my attempt to just use my mains now. Hadn't seen the second link though, decent looking speakers but ouch, $200... Hmm, I didn't see any...

This, I have heard many old school audiophiles I know of speak about how no one wanted any Japanese speakers and some of them still don't hold much regard for them today. I can't help but feel I'm slightly tilted that way as well, but I've heard some nice sounding Yamaha bookshelf speakers. For...

Ah right - forgot about that. So then I would still if I had an SACD player hook all channels up to the receiver and then the receiver would handle re-routing the center channel material to the mains?

Cool, I found a thread on here awhile back where people were discussing a center versus no center but I'm not sure how that turned up for the person asking the question. The distance between my main speakers is 3' 2" so it truly did seem to me that the center channel didn't help my system. Will...

*Revives thread* So I'm doing a lot of my home theater "homework" so to say, and the only thing left that needs fixing is my center channel. Let me ask again - my center channel sounding muffled compared to the left and right channels, is that due to the polycell tweeter? My bookshelf...

Well, you're still the first I've seen. Any time I see equipment for sale on Craigslist or something the excuse is usually "wife made me sell this" so its cool that you wouldn't necessarily force someone to get rid of nice speakers in favor of some tiny Bose speakers (That's the one I normally...

Well, it was something that happened well before I was even born so I'm summarizing to some extent. I don't know specifics, so they might have. This was a group obsessed with speakers at the time and some of them did subscribe to the audio snake oil stuff so they certainly wouldn't use two...

Ah, so there's one in the bottom? Do you know if that is on the BT77 only or the AM40 as well? That might be okay then, I just didn't want holes on the sides. I know you pretty much don't need to buy good mounts more than once but I still have hard terms bringing myself to pay $120+ for...

So I need help picking out some suitable wall mounts for my rear and side channels. The side channels will be very high up on my walls - basically almost touching the ceiling (but not so much so I couldn't tilt them downwards), so I really need to be able to tilt them down at my listening...

Thanks! I do my best to get good stuff, I'm lucky enough to have a father who was an audio nut since he was 16 back in the 70's running around buying and selling speakers all the time. He got into selling speakers in the 80's and was still big into it (Although he unfortunately has hearing...

Well, I guess since the Monoprice cables are so dang cheap I could at least try them and see how they are. Whoever makes Best Buy's cheap wires does a fine job of making sure they don't come out, I'll definitely credit them with that. Amazingly I've also been using some Best Buy branded optical...

Are you referring to the RCA Phono style connectors coming loose? I bought some of that Best Buy branded RCA phono cable for dirt cheap to use with my tape deck and that stuff has to be the HARDEST (no joke) to get on and off. I thought I was going to break the connectors on the back of my tape...

Again, I'm not too knowledgable on these old things so I have no idea. The people who knew them said they were heavy speakers but that's not accurate for any real estimation of their actual weight. So if I can ask, I know there are some old 70's speakers that are IMO still pretty generic...

So part of my finally not being lazy and hooking up the rest of my speakers does indeed involve me needing more speaker wire. I have enough for 5.1 but need enough for 7.1. I ordered some of the 12 AWG from BJC, but I still haven't gotten around to using it. I ordered two 14 ft long pre-cut...

Okay, so I recently found a pair of Black Max speakers for sale. Now I'm not much on vintage stuff (In fact, I don't know much of diddly about it), but I have heard other audiophiles at least locally speak positively of Black Max. I believe they were a hand-built speaker company based out of - I...
