thebes Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Set’s a topology not a religion Normal people need never worry about speaker wire If it sounds good to you it may still sound like crap If you want perfection don’t listen to music. You need a good room to hear good music Measurements are for dorks Something will always be not quite right with your system Dating Twins entails months of terror interspersed withmoments of the sublime Entropy has a nasty habit of devolving onto used lps Fooling around with live electricity will definitely clearyour sinuses If it sounds good to you everybody else is wrong Measurements reveal all Well-recorded records made as records sound better than thecd version Well recorded cd’s sound better than crappyily recorded cd’s A well-recorded cd can sound better pressed as a record Room treatments are vital unless they aren’t T-amps suck New caps sound better than old Isolation products are bunk A clean power supply is clean Tubes Rule Solid State rules if you are brain dead Fresh strawberries with sugar kills. Fresh strawberries withchocolate is a waste of good strawberries. I’ll add more as I think of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Marty, good list. There used to be a forum member, sorry can't remember who, using the tag line: (or something like it) No matter what you do your system still sucks half the time.

Mallette Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thanks, Marty. However, a few quibbles: >Normal people need never worry about speaker wireI am not so sure. I tried a garden hose but one of my friends said even that needed gold plated connectors. >A well-recorded cd can sound better pressed as a recordI attempted this. I found that once pressed out to 12", the CD was way too flimsy and the stylus simply skidded across the surface. OTOH, it was very, very quiet. >Fresh strawberries with sugar kills. Fresh strawberries with chocolate is a waste of good strawberries.Fresh strawberries with a beautiful naked woman are a distraction.

colterphoto1 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Great stuff Marty, and I love Bucksters, mind if I contribute a few? sounds like music to me use wire, the electrons don't care collect em all- it's a set hey Doc, where do I plug in? you get the gigs you're supposed to get my brain hurts make everything louder than everything else (can't take credit, that's Ian Gillan of Deep Purple) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Bass is boring There's three things coming out of your speaker, treble, mids and bass If you have to talk over the music it's just about loud enough If you have to talk over the music it's not nearly loud enough If you don't want to talk the volume is perfect Hot Twins in the house is better than hot Twins breaking down the front door to gently remind you of your latest transgression Women get really upset when you pour hot chocolate over them while your eating a strawberry. Watching your furniture walking across the room is fun, but it's not music. If it's the best song you ever hard, wait a week before saying that out loud. If there's a pretty woman on the cover that's no reason to actualy think she's a good singer. If there's a pretty woman on the cover that's no reason to actualy doubt she's a good singer. If there's a pretty woman on the cover and you start creating fantasies in your head about her your either a loser or your name is Thebes. Thanks guys for checking in but certainly myself and Colter don't have a corner on the market for truisms. So give us a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 My stereo improved when I joined this forum and compared notes with other Klipsch horn fanatics. Now I have a 4-way all horn system and it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a forum member, sorry can't remember who, using the tag line: (or something like it) No matter what you do your system still sucks half the time. "No matter what you do your system still sucks half the time'. Dee, Funny you mention that. Considering the wealth of information available on this forum, and the many things that I have learned from it's members,.......... That one statement stays with me because it is absolute truth. (for me) I can sit down and the music flows through me. Total euphoria. At other times the same gear, room, and cut sound terrible. Not my ears, but what is between them I would think. Perhaps the LSD is a factor. tc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryO Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I can honestly say I've kept my sanity since joining this forum. Even after having to move speakers around to get out the door. Well, it makes perfectly good sense to me. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
