| amplifier DB meters Hi Atmasphere, I heard it through the motorcycle/audio grapevine that you are a Laverda-phile. I have a '72 SF, '74 SFC and a RGS Corsa. I have owned the SFC since the early 80s. Great bikes any chance you make it to Mid Ohio for the vintage races... | |
| amplifier DB meters HI Shadorne, I believe each bank is wired in just that- parallel groups in series. I have the wiring diagram and paramaters somewhere but I did this 8 years ago so I kind of forgot the details. I needed to keep it 4 ohms where my friends are wired... | |

| Equilizer to reduce surface noise on bad records? Hello, Try a SAE or Burwen impulse noise reduction unit. They are frequently found on Ebay for less that $200 last time I checked. They both work well but are not miracle workers. Bob | |
| amplifier DB meters Helio, When my system is playing and I only ever see 4 watts on the meter with the loudest peak, I can figure that the amp is using more watts, than the meter is reading, but how much more? Assuming that the meter is correct - a big assumption I g... | |

| dissapointing audiophile recording Hi Schipo, Allright lets agree on Montovani and change the Readers Digest "festival of light classical music" to Longines Symphonette Society wonderful recording to the "Family library of beautiful listening". I hate to offend anyone so Kenny G is... | |
| dissapointing audiophile recording Hello, yes, that is correct Elizabeth. I grade my LPs on four different factors;1) studio/production, includes engineer and musicians,room, recording technique etc2) pressing, includes vinyl and the pressing3 condition, ie groove wear and physical... | |
| Turntable Pre-Echo Sound....? Eldafort says, "You can only hear pre-echo during a silent groove, but it actually goes on throughout the LP, and constitutes a form of distortion".Hello, are you sure about this? I have a number of LPs with pre echo. I have never thought about th... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Sherod saidUh, Bob? What is your point?Regarding my statement of, "Hello, If two people have the same opinion, one of you is unnecessary/redundant".This is a discussion forum. If we all had the same opinion, same thoughts, a mutual admiration soci... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Hello, I would like to see it stoned also, but I sure would not want to pronounce it stoned. Bob | |
