    Heil ESS AMT Speakers on DROP

    Nice dipole Heil AMT tweeter with two 6" woofers. One of the biggest complaints of Heil speakers is that they tried to cross over the AMT tweeter too low to the large woofers, resulting in higher distortion and incoherence. With 6" driver, I suspect the crossover point is much higher than larger...

    iFi Audio micro iTube2 Tube Buffer Review PREAMBLE If COVID-19 social isolation had any positive side, it was the fact it gave me time to sit down and reflect over my (too many) audio components. As I gazed over my beloved gear, I realized I spent way too much money. Was all this stuff...

    Who misses speakers?

    Turned on my speakers for the first time in awhile. Playing certain types of music, Muse and The Rasmus for example, speakers are capable of more PHYSICAL connection with the music through vibrations through walls, floors, and even air. Even my headphone dynamics king Abyss 1266 Phi TC cannot...

    Klipsch RP-600M Speakers! Wasn't all hype after all.

    I succumbed to the internet hype regarding the $650 Klipsch RP-600M and bought them, fully expecting them to turn out to be overhyped, which would have been OK since I would just use them in home theater or something. I plopped down the Klispch RP-600M on top of my existing woofer boxes, hooked...

    Favorite Asian Movie Thread

    I am starting this thread as I finally got to watch "Almost a Love Story (1996)" after procrastinating for many years despite people telling me to watch it.  Wonderful movie and a classic IMO.   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117905/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

    Why does Time Warner Suck So Much?

    Today I pick up the phone (digital phone Time Warner) to find no ringtone.  Of all days, today would be the worst to be without a landline because I had important calls to make to IRS and my bank.  My cell phone is unreliable and cuts off mid-call in my house due to location.     After...

    Does anyone still shoot film?  I'm not sure exactly why, but I bid and won Canon EOS-3 with power grip and am scrambling to learn quickly about film choices (portrait, general-purpose, vs. nature) and battery choices.  Unfortunately, these parts (factory grip, battery for power grip, charger)...
