    Have you been feeling angrier than usual lately?

    It really cant be helped. Unless you live in a cave, the feeling of unease is driven by the constant fear perpetuated by the media (social or msm). Though you may not be directly engaged, others our and that feeling feeds on itself. People are shorter (in temper not height), more emotional. Just...

    Pioneer HPM-100 successful crossover mod!

    I accept your guarantee 100%. I accept that it can be measured ..so can atoms. The question is do we see them (or hear them). My opinion only, but the measurable factor doesn.t mean it is distinctly detectible to the human ear (especially to 64 year old human ears). There are so many other...

    Pioneer HPM-100 successful crossover mod!

    I am not going to bluntly disagree ..but I don't agree in this instance - since they are atop the Pioneers, the micro/nanosecond difference is not detectable except perhaps by extensive equipment - but to my ears, the sound is vastly improved. and the range and type of tweeters are different so...

    Pioneer HPM-100 successful crossover mod!

    I didn't understand that part at all - do you mean this ? Comb filtering is a phenomenon that happens when the same sound arrives at the listener’s ears (or a microphone) at different times with a very small delay between the signals. That could occur at any level from 2 speakers on up...unless...

    Pioneer HPM-100 successful crossover mod!

    I have followed this thread for several years and I am a bit confused on the listening experience which seems to differ from mine. I love my HPM-100's 200watt version and I never found the mid's or highs too forward...Only the somewhat boomy bass. In fact, I felt I needed more High and Mid;s...

    Revitalizing AK

    The fact we can varied opinions, a bit of jabbing and still remain respectful is a great key to AK. "I don't know bout no SINBAD but I do know what my ears tell me :-) " Honestly, I have tried some equipment that has NASA specs (lol) and was quick to return. SNR and other aspects are great but...

    Bringing my HPM-100 veneer back to life

    I need to take more pictures. The completed one looked even better after the second time with the 0000 steel wool. Using the rag to wipe it off you could see the brown grime...didn't do that on just a wipe on wipe off pass...But both done now and back in place...At 56lbs each, not sure I have...

    I know what syntax is and looking back, yes; agreed. I could have been better. Sorry dad. I should have said "Or, every question that has ever needed to be answered has already been answered in the past. People come, search, find what they need and don't bother to post. " Better? Happy now? :p

    Bringing my HPM-100 veneer back to life

    SO, I have become pretty good at redoing veneer and making cases but my poor Pioneer HPM-100's have been neglected (they were not pristine when I purchased a few years ago). I kept saying "I will redo the veneer one day". Well, my wife who is a crafts master (lol) said before you do, try this...

    Sorry if I was not grammatically perfect in that line (ex. using cause instead of "because" which are quite different) yet; you did understand the point, yes? :)

    You dont have to go ELNA (and would take a bigger search) but Mouser has a ton in your rating.

    Pioneer SX-1280 Died

    There is dead and there is dead. If you power on and nothing happens, no lights, nothing, thats dead and can indicate blown fuse and and major outage. If it lights up but no clicks, thats very different and something has happened that is voltage related that your relay is protecting ...could be...

    Revitalizing AK

    AK is the single biggest resource on the internet regarding evrything in HIFI audio. However; it seems through the years participation has dropped significantly. It can be for one of two reasons. Lack of interest which should not be cause there are a million facebook boards on hifi. Or , every...
