So I've just re-watched Firefly and Captain Mal did a show after that called "Castle." It's dumb and campy but whatevs. This episode is all about the CIA and their underground bunker and what do I see but the pinnacle of technology!

You know this'll sell. No more harmonics from your electronic boxes!

I have very early model Sequels, and I'm taking the panels off for cleaning. I was expecting to find the panels held on by velcro (from memory of reading the FAQ for disassembly) or some easy form of attachment, but they're held on by sticky tape which is disintegrating as I pull on it. I merely...

I'm going to be in San An from tgiving to xmas, wondering if anyone wants to have a social/listening party.

Just perusing ebay and other mass outlets of used stuff, I've been noticing a scary trend. A great number of people selling their MLs seem to have no idea at all how to place their speakers. I have to include the nice old guy I bought mine from in this group, too. I saved a few examples, in each...

Seventeen minutes, and I don't think it could be a minute shorter. Video from some very talented French dude.

My "main" preamp has been my B&K Pro 5 since i bought in... oh... damn. '89? '90? Something like that. It had started giving me issues and I came had an ADCOM tuner/preamp in another system so I just put that in until I dealt whit the B&K. Recently I've noticed teh left channel was really strong...

This followed me home this morning. First thing is bar risers! They're really 2" from anything like comfortable. After that and I make it handle a bit better, I'll try to make it get better than 35 mpg. :)

I'm trying to make improvements to what might be the worst acoustic room I've ever been in. My friend who is adopting my older equipment (mid-fi at best to most here but some fine stuff IMO) just bought a house and the listening room is HUGE, asymmetrical, vaulted ceilings, with hardwood floors...

Something I just stumbled across... I know there are a lot of Texans here but I have no idea how many are running light bulbs for power. Anyway, http://lonestarbottleheads.org/ if it means anything to you. :D

I can't remember what thread it was, but two or three of attempted to hijack a thread earlier with a tangential conversation of Scotch. Since I've a fair dose of Laphroaig in me I was thinking I'd start a Scotch thread. (Feel free to bust in with cigar stuff. :)) What are your favorite Scotches...

I've been looking at amps for a long while and I'm getting pretty close to the time to buy. ATM I'm using a 60Wpc NAD and while it sounds good, it can sound like it's being worked past its comfort zone. No shock given that it's such a small amplifier. I really need to keep it under $500, and I'd...

I keep seeing ICE mentioned for amplifiers in these fora, especially regarding the new line of powered Purities. I've only ever seen this applied as "In Car Electronics" (or as the stuff that keeps beer cold) and since it's used so broadly for car amps googling is useless.

Indeed. Another of my favorite all-time recordings has fallen prey to Martin & Logan (what I've named the left and right speakers, respectively:)). Several of my rock and grunge recordings have fallen down my scaled-by-pleasure music rack because they're just crappy studio work and are fatiguing...

While I was perusing stuff I can't afford but will try to talk my friends into buying on ebay, something occured to me. I've seen much talk about Magneplanar speakers but I've not had the chance to listen to them. But that's not what's bugging me. What bugs me is that I don't know how they work...

I guess it's a bit late to ask this, since I already got it on ebay, but I came across this at what seemed a very reasonable price ($128) and figured what the heck. I certainly wasn't shopping for a receiver but it's got phono inputs and is rated for I think 130 or 150 Wpc, both of which I need...

I doubt many people will appreciate this other than slowGEEZR and maybe Pcar928fan, but here's a couple of pics I took.

Anyone know anything about this amp? Says it's 200 Wpc into 8 Ohms but I don't see anything on its ability to go to lower impedances. TIA.

I was in BHam this w/e for the AMA race and there's a closing Tweeter right next to my favorite cigar store of all time so I dropped in kind of hoping to find a cheap two channel amp. They had some Clarities in a crowded room of speakers, and some Vistas and Vantages in the remaining listening...
