    No, Thank You!

    Wow! I should have stopped giving my time and dedication to this hobby a long time ago. Been doing this audio thing for 40 years and am paid up on all my dues many xxx over. Worked for Radio Shack when I was 16, sold Hi-end while I was getting my education, and have been obsessed with all...

    FS: Tripoint Troy (original version)

    Rated 6/10. This unit has a hairline crack on top and the wall plug was cut off, so there are bare wires (no termination). The unit can be shipped (at buyers expense) to Tripoint and everything will be looked at by the manufacturer and anything that needs fixing will be repaired at no charge...

    Subwoofer stands/isolation

    Since I recently added a couple subs to my system I have been looking for alternatives to the Auralex Sub Dude. I found this which costs quite a bit more at around $200 and want to know if anyone has heard of this company or better yet, tried one that can comment. Here is a link...

    Baffled Beyond Belief

    I recently added some subs to my system and they have been playing nonstop for several days. I just got some better replacement wire to hook them up and something is really wrong. I powered everything down to start swapping in the new wires. After I finished doing the left channel, I...

    Wire for subwoofer hook up

    I recently added a pair of Rythmik 12" subs to my Vivid G2 speakers. I decided to exchange them for the same version but in a 15 inch size and would like to get some feedback to make sure I am on the right track. My ASR amp does not have variable outputs so I am hooking up to my speaker...

    Vibration control for Plasma TV

    Hi All, I am getting a pair of new subs for my HT system. I need to raise my 65" plasma up almost a foot off the stand it now sits on to accomodate the height of them. I'm thinking of whether I want to use wood, plastic, glass, etc., and then started wondering.....how about adding some...

    Gentle Giant or Shostakovich?

    During my prog rock era I was a big fan of Gentle Giant. I thought they were an original. For the past 3 years or so I have mainly listened to Classical music, and I gotta say I am very disappointed in one of my past favorite bands. Move over Led Zeppelin.

    Hobby or Religion?

    I was thinking about how our audio endeavors are often termed as being a hobby. As I can only speak for myself in this matter, it is much much more. From age 8-13 I was forced to go to a conservative Hebrew School, 3 days a week, 2 hours a day, and I never missed a day. Everything in the...

    Lavardin Model IT 15 - Vivid G2 - 14x18x9' room

    Looking for some thoughts on this combo. Anyone hear this amp? It's rated at only 50-55/ch but what it lacks in power it makes up for with music. I heard this integrated amp a while back and was very impressed. I want this to work but am I being realistic? TIA

    Samsung vs Panasonic Plasma

    Now that the VT 30 has been out for a bit has anybody been able to actually compare it to the Sam 8000? I am reading a lot of mixed reviews on the VT30 which was getting a lot of praise before it was actually released. I have a 2 year old 6 series Samsung that is having problems and Samsung...

    YG getting a bad rap.

    YG Acoustics is getting a lot of negative press with regard to their sound at many of the shows that they participate in. As an owner of their speakers I am becoming concerned with their value. Even though I am very happy with the sound of my system, it is hard to ignore all the bad things being...
