    Denver Bound on the 11th. Any AHer's out there?

    I'm back. Been on forum hiatus for a few years. Don't know when you'll be here, but DO NOT MISS going to El Chapultapec or Dazzle. El Chapultapec has survived on Larimer for about 70 years as a jazz club. It's a nice shithole and all the greats have played there. Night doesn't matter, its a...

    Absolute Best Speaker YOU Have Ever heard?

    Toss up between the Infinity IRS listening room at PS Audio offices ....or the Violoncello's running on Einstein tubes at RMAF ballroom an age ago

    Who here has switched to tubes? 2channel

    I switched from big class A mono transistor amps to a tube integrated a few years back (mostly thanks to Ski2xBlack bringing his little SET mono's over to my townhouse about 5 or 6 years ago). Does my setup sound more accurate, absolutely not. But it does sound better after I settled on the...

    Ran 16 gauge wire 150 feet for outdoor speakers.

    I have 16g runs just as long for some of my outdoor speakers and they don't have this problem at all. (running 30w/ch on 8ohm taps) Are you running through transformers? If so, you may just be on the wrong tap

    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    Finally bought a new PC to replace the TouchSmart all-in-one dual-monitor setup I've been using for the last 6+ years. Since I went on the higher end with the tower components, I figured I may as well with the monitor. Snatched up a new LG 21:9 UltraWide.....I'm really digging having multiple...

    Sound in/out during quiet scenes with external amp

    The amps are overkill for the middling old speakers I'm currently using for certain. But I have a trio of quite nice, capable speakers that will require the power and actually make it to reference level in this room waiting in the wings to get in there once I switch to an AT screen that they can...

    Sound in/out during quiet scenes with external amp

    I did, it's not as useful as it sounds, it only has a couple of positions based on if you are using if for 8ohm or 70v systems

    Sound in/out during quiet scenes with external amp

    Made new patch cables of much better quality today. Hooked suspect amp up to 2 channel system in another room, and no problems. So my cables may have been the issue.....or, the preamp outputs from my receiver in theater (or processing) is the issue. Will find out when I place amp back into...

    Sound in/out during quiet scenes with external amp

    Highfigh: I turn the amp on manually from the panel switch Seth: The cables are only 2' long, but quite bodged, so that could be a failure point. I have tried running the amps gain low and increasing output from the pre-amp, to no effect. Will make some more proper cables, then possibly swap...

    Sound in/out during quiet scenes with external amp

    Been having a problem with this since adding a pair of amplifiers to my setup. (First off, I'll list the gear involved: Pioneer Elite VSX-92txh receiver, Crown ComTech 400 bridged running center channel, Crown ComTech 1610 running front L and R, hacked apart linelevel cables running signal to...

    MC carts sure are fragile.

    You know what goes great with music? Drinking whiskey and relaxing. You know what does not go so great with turntables? Drinking whiskey. One good bump while going to lift the tonearm, and my new Denon DL-110 is toast. Completely crushed the tip on the stylus.....nice way to lose $300 in a...

    Type of wood for amp stands

    Anything will work. Hardwoods of course are the first choice. Being a manly type, I pull mine from trees, with the best of tough guy tools, the chainsaw. (followed by a flattening jig/router, then power planer, then about 2 years of waiting to dry) MDF can do some cool stuff. The last speaker...
