| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Come on over Nick, lets put them together. The only requirement is you bring your kid to help. He was a blast when we were working on your turntable. | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 Jafox,Regarding:A 10m RCA-RCA IC from my line stage to the amps works just fine. The CAT amps only have single-ended inputs which initially bothered me, but once I heard music with them, it was a moot issue. And any report that such lengths need t... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Albertporter...If you stacked up 14 of these little boxes, each one oriented horizontal, you would have a 7-1/2 foot line array. Sound familiar? It would cost $559.30, but probably less because RS gives volume discounts. A joke? Well sort of. But ... | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? I've been looking at this one for awhile. I have the Winds but for the money this one would come in handy when traveling to help others with tonearm set up.$28.00 scales | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Thanks for the link, I need to find a place to use those. At $39.95 for a two way, it's absurdly cheap. I thought at first that had to be the price for a single, not a pair. | |

| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment Boa2, I know the answer to that..........I'm afraid to ask, Entrope, but what does Uranus do?It's where you find Klingons | |

| Short Signal Path? The improvement brought about by separate power supplies and higher quality parts overcome the disadvantage of longer signal path, especially when discussing an all out attempt.So far there are no "ultimate" integrateds. Many are superb, but most ... | |
| 6550 or KT88 ? Your Svetlana 6550C could be a Sovtek, if two years old or less, it almost certainly is.In that case, swapping for Wing C 6550 or KT88 are both better sound in my opinion. Wing C is the tube that was called "Svetlana" three years ago. The trademar... | |
| Paging Mr. Albert Porter Stu,I think purchasing the Dali Megaline is a wise choice, I absolutely love mine now that I have everything sorted out.I do not sell the custom Dali crossover. Tom will construct another one if your willing to wait while he assembles it. It is al... | |
| Leads on mid-1960's Siemens NOS CCa 6922 tubes Well, below is a link to a pair at EBAY for 106.78 each, using the "buy it now" option. You might bid and win at much less than that.I bought a quad of these tubes from a guy in Germany about a month ago on EBAY for $56.00 each. Quite a bit less t... | |
| What new music did you get for Christmas? I just received Kate Bush "Aerial" from England on LP. The artwork is stunning and this double album worth the price for side B alone, (as far as I've listened while writing this).The cut "How to be Invisible" is as beautiful as anything she did o... | |
| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns Enter the big 300lb Tannoy WestminstersThe only time I heard these were in Switzerland at the home of Mr. Breuer, the wonderful builder of Breuer tonearms and cartridges. He loved the Tannoy and voiced his products with them. |
