    Rockets made in China?

    My wife ordered some dining room furniture, which wasn't cheap. The movers brought it in and sure enough they came from China. I was glad my wife wasn't there when they arrived! Anyway, the movers mentioned that some people kindof get upset when they realize that the furniture they bought in...

    That new Green Day song has been stuck in my head for days!

    Being hurricane season, i wish someone would "wake me up when September ends".

    New Harmony 520 Remote Control

    I gave up on the Walmart here. Tired of talking to clueless people there. My wife said she preferred the look of the 676 (which surprised me), so that was it. I ordered the 676 which is more powerful, with more buttons. I had some gift cards with Amazon, so i went with them. Can't wait to get...

    Your Favorite $600 Speakers

    How do the maggies sound with drums - you know snares and bass drums. Alot of the frequencies for drums are in the woofer range and not the sub range. I understand that a sub is needed but what about the 50-100hz range. Is the attack of a drum beat good with these speakers. I would love to...

    BFD Settings Recommendation

    You seem confused. All we are trying to tell you is to turn up the sub so that the line below 80 hz move uniformly up. Bring that line up around 5 db so that it will be closer to the peak at 80hz. You can turn up the sub with the receiver or on the sub. However, if the input lights are not...

    Has ABKCO lost their mind on the Stones SACDs?

    There's alot of folks running around trying to buy them for that reason now! :D

    BFD Settings Recommendation

    If you turn up the sub, you will be close to the amplitude of the peak at 80hz... Good luck!

    BFD Settings Recommendation

    Once you have it set up, leave it on, hide it, and fugitaboutit. :emoji_thumbsup:

    BFD Settings Recommendation

    Don't plug it into the reciever. Pretty easy solution, actually.

    Has ABKCO lost their mind on the Stones SACDs?

    J&R is still processing my order for Let it Bleed and Aftermath (man, they are SLOW), but i'm not too hopeful now. Looks like Let it Bleed will not be SACD for sure. Guess i'll be sending that back and looking around town.

    Monitor Audio Silver

    Monitor Audio is not crap. I have the Bronze series and love them!:emoji_thumbsup: I really wanted the S2, though.;) Trust your ears and listen.

    BFD Settings Recommendation

    I keep everything on, the amp and the BFD. Just remember if you have to power back up, turn on the BFD then the Amp. I also hide mine in the corner by the subwoofer. Once its set up you don't really need to fiddle with it anymore. So why look at it? I still can see the little lights in the...

    Led Zeppelin....

    Thats why if i were to time travel, i would go to 1969 and just go to concerts - all the damn time. That is my dream :D

    Has ABKCO lost their mind on the Stones SACDs?

    Actually, i was a little hasty on my comments. I bought Let it bleed and Aftermath (UK). I do like some obscure stuff so I'll keep you list for future reference. Thanks again Gary!

    Has ABKCO lost their mind on the Stones SACDs?

    Thanks abunch Gerry P.! Much appreciated. ABKCO must be some greedy bastards. Many other companies would have put out the UK version and added the singles (that were on the US version) as bonus tracks. I'm actually debating whether to give them any money at all. I'll probably just buy the Let...

    Led Zeppelin....

    I actually enjoy the second disc the most cause it rocks harder. Seeing Jimi Page give it everything he's got on Achillis Last Stand is an awsome experience. Totally blows the studio version away. I really like the first disc too! I especially like John B. on the first show. He had it all...

    Has ABKCO lost their mind on the Stones SACDs?

    Man, i'm just know looking into these old albums - what total confusion with all of the UK vs US releases. Most of my old stuff is Hendrix, Doors, Zeppelin, Floyd. Never really bought any Stones, but i love howe the new SACD remasters sound (at least Beggar's Banquet) - wonderful - and the radio...

    Iron Maiden egged at Ozzfest. Osbourne to blame

    It's one thing to do these thing back stage, but totally uncalled for to do it one stage IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF FANS WHO PAID GOOD, HARD EARNED CASH TO SEE THEM. If i was in the audience that night, i would have been livid. I've never got to see Iron Maiden when i was a teenager (and loved...

    Has ABKCO lost their mind on the Stones SACDs?

    Which two Stones hybrid CDs (on sale from JRs) would you suggest I get? I currently only have Beggar's Banquet. I like the early stuff especially.

    Achieving Flat Bass Response

    Yes, and thats important cause you got to get a strong enough signal to the BFD. Its all there on the snapbug site. Basically it means turning up the sub gain on the reciever high enough to where you see the input lights on the sub come on at low to moderate volumes, but not too high...

    Jimi Hendrix - entire Woodstock perfomance coming 9-13

    I think it has to do with the Hendrix family milking his name for all its worth. I have a feeling that if Jimi Hendrix were alive today, he would probably have done what Jimi Page did and just put out a 2 DVD set of all the best performances. I want to remember Jimi for all the best stuff he...

    Dayton 12 inch?? ON SALE

    Considering that the 10" goes done to 25hz flat in my living room, i don't think the 12" will have much of a problem. Probably fall off anywhere from 20-25hz. I still love my tiny mighty, BTW - with a BFD, of course!

    Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti"

    I love Zeppelin, but Kashmir is one of the most over-rated songs ever. Of course that just my opinion :D

    Led Zepplin DVD

    I loved the TSRTS. I would like to see it remasted on DVD. Some of the songs that are better (or only found) on the TSRTS vs the Led Zeppeling DVD: Stairway to Heaven Rock and Roll No Quarter Best version of Dazed and Confused Whole lotta love I still like the Led Zep DVD better, but...

    Pink Floyd said to reunite for Live 8....Really!

    Its just curse words... Lets get back on topic. Roger Waters did seem to really enjoy being back with the band. I'm not sure how thrilled they were about it. Seeing either one without the other just isn't the same. With Roger's band you just really miss David's smooth voice and even...

    Pink Floyd "Pulse" concert DVD still isn't out, right?

    Sorry, i'm a little lazy to look it up, but: What year was Pulse recorded? After what album? Does it include the original lineup (w/ Roger Waters)? Thanks.

    Max Room Size for Dayton 10" Sub

    How big is your room? And how loud do you like to hear the peaks in a movie? 95db, 100 db, 105 db Then we may tell you if its good enough :D

    In defence of Multi-channel mixes

    Thanks for the nice reply _Man_ I think Justin made an excellent point that i have been thinking about too. That a decent multi-channel SACD lets us (the non-audiophile) experience what people (audiophiles) who pay mult-thousands of dollars to try to achieve in stereo. I think most of us...

    In defence of Multi-channel mixes

    If painters could paint in three dimensional space, many would probably choose not to do so, but the best would love it. Thats because the best artists are always limited by the media they use. Multi-ch removes some of those limitations. If you just listen to acoustic stuff and you are just...
