Obviously at least one old groaner does as he has already told me I should use a "music forum".
Others have complained about politics.
What a bunch of losers!
Even the introduction posted under GENERAL DISCUSSION FORUMS states:
"It's not all-audio all-the-time in the Stereophile forums. The Open Bar is the place to discuss politics, entertainment, science and nature, sports and leisure, arts and literature, the weather, or whatever. Not for the faint of heart."

These forums seem to not have a lot of activity but how about making a regular-ish feature of posting a piece of music every week.
That way we can all maybe find something new.
Might even like it.
You never know.
I mean surely you guys don't all have only the same handful of audiophile recordings... do you???
I'll start the ball rolling with Chehei Hatakeyama and this piece called Waves.

Years ago, some girl gave me Pulse by Pink Floyd, but she somehow switched with another disc at her place or mine or on some trip and I never got a replacement.

15 years go by...

At Zia the other day, there was a used copy, so I figured I may as well make things right (with the CD situation.)

Well, damn.

I played the live DSOM section and that fucker puts up a giant seamless soundstage that has some sort of doodad processing that makes things happen way outside the usual imaging margins and even created the sensation of sounds coming from behind.

There! I started a thread. Now ncdrawl can apologize to you with his head held high! Ncdrawl? Apologize to the man like he demanded. Right now. Do you hear me? Right now.

I am just now uploading 4 fun little files to a site called 4shared dot com. Better wait an hour or so, until they are fully uploaded. They are just demo files, but clearly demonstrates the difference between Q-Sound and stereo. In converting them I accidently upsampled them to what looks like 24/96, but I assure you they are not in that quality. Still fun. Enjoy!

Hello All, A friend of mine has a Harmon Kardon integrated amp approx 10 years old don't know the model etc.- the amp emits a constant buzzing sound when powered up , inaudible when cranked right up, but she has just moved to a small unit so low level playing is required most of the time, any thoughts???Sounds like the hum from an old refridgerator!

So, with 16 drivers and being a one way (no crossover?) how would you wire the speakers?

Wouldn't running them in parallel make for an almost "zero ohm" load?

Wouldn't running them in series make them too ineffeciant?

I'm curious how you drive 16 of the same driver.

Do you use a "one-way crossover?"

This seems a fascinating project.

Bought in lots of 5 or more, you can buy them retail for 150 each.

I dont care much for classical music these days..probably due in no small part to my disliking classical music fans. and especially critics and more especially the musicians(of which I have been one)!
