I should add that the density will affect the time to break in an instrument. Of course the time is very dependent on the performer, but for example a cedar guitar can take only a month or two, while the spruce could be on the scale of years for some. Violins/cellos, etc are usually about a...

Interesting indeed. I used to be a very avid violinist as well as guitarist. My own german Kloz (the eldest) is well over 200 years old. I wanted an english Craske, but the Kloz was a lot easier to play and half the price. Just w/o the He-Man tone, hehe. I've handled very fine Italian...

And thanks to you Joey. -John

There would be a couple of ID brands that I'd be interested in. Sierra-1s as they are supposed to measure extremely well for the $. And perhaps the Swan HiVi reference for their supposed amazing looks. :D I'd also would want to hear some Dyn Contours, if only because I thought the towers...

yea, I have a f113. I was prolly the first forum member here to get one. Easily the best sub I auditioned. The mic thing you speak of is called ARO, and just basicallly tames the most offensive peak. Helpful, yes, but nothing close to the abilities of SMS-1 (I've still wanted one for way...

YMMV. Obviously, the choice depends heavily on usage, and simply the space available. I recently split the HT and stereo with great anticipation, and unfortunately my stereo room really sucks. I've obtained 300 lbs of HF Mondo Traps from the gon, and the room still sucks. Why didn't I...

I have a Cambridge 840A brand new for less than 1k shipped. Worth a look-see.

wow... :drool:

I'm probably going to be manning the station on behalf of my local brewery at a beer tasting that is a charity event for cystic fibrosis later this summer. On one hand I will be honored, but OTOH, I want to try the other beers!

MMM... My favorite food group is... steak! In Connecticut, the Griswold Inn. Only when in season, and even then, only Fri-Sun for their Prime Rib. Unbelievable. http://www.griswoldinn.com/Low_index.htm The Hobbit. Not a steak house, but the only time I was there the main dish was Filet...

I've taken my first long break from playing music seriously. Its been two years now. Anyways, I know this is a thread for electric guitars, but if you guys are considering amps for acoustical instruments, I would take a look at AER. I know little about amps though. I'd use my AER for...

I'm of no help here, but I'm sorry for your troubles, Joey. We all wish you the best of luck to get that beloved gear back in shape.

I forgot another item: front projector: open-box Every single piece listed in these two posts come with full-warranty, AFAIK. Still, I would also have little worries about finding a good seller on the gon.

I will agree with Dan that Erik has made excellent points. I also agree with the listing of most important aspects of the system. Along the lines of maximizing bang for buck, there are other ways to achieve this outside of buying from someone you never met. I've bought, just in the last year...

Great review Seth! I thought you might be interested that there's another AV forum junkie who had the pleasure of sitting next to some Teranex rep during a convention dinner, or something like that. The rep told him that the best place to use Reon/Realta happens to be in the receiver, as the...
