Best Audio AND Video stores in Dallas/FW?
Stereo East, just North of LBJ (635 Freeway) on Preston Road.Two salesman and the owner are friends of mine, and they have a very nice set up, especially for video. 
Contact Cleaner
Fatparrot, if Eastman Kodak still manufactures their film cleaner, the formula contains (among other things) 111 trichlorethylene. This is the business end of many designer cleaners.The Kodak product is a few bucks for a four ounce bottle. My best...

No doubt, and I am pleased that you found happiness with your system. The important thing is finding the special combination of equipment and speakers that allows you to listen to the music without constantly thinking about how the system "sounds"... 
Deciding on the right huge speaker
Already some great responses here. I agree with Kirk on the JM Lab and Soundlab, and with Chazzbo on the Maggie MG 20's. I would add (used) Audio Artistry Beethoven, I think they are no longer made, but were EXCELLENT.Last CES I heard a Dutch spea...

Here is an excerpt from Twl, the creator of this post.Notice the specs only show freq. Response, and nothing about phase non-linearity induced by multiple crossover components. This seems to be a non-linearity in system philosophy where short sign... 
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
In situations like this I lead the woman over to the washer and dryer and say, "Honey, can we get rid of these horrible, big, ugly, expensive, white metal boxes?.....They not only use lots electricity and water, they SOUND bad."Then go to the livi... 
LAST???? Has anybody tried this?
I've used LAST on at least 6,000 LP's, spanning a period of more than 16 years.I echo all the other positive comments and must say that I am delighted that even my most frequently played records have maintained almost 100% of their original sound ...

Drubin is right, my punch line is that the speaker I described already exists, the Millennium One by Soundlab.I might have fudged a bit on one part of the description. The Soundlab employs dual transformers separated by resistors, making for "sort...

So Onhwy61, are you directing your comments to the topic posted by Twl, or to my post about the impossible speaker?My post described a speaker that appears to have all the attributes that Twl was searching for.Your argument as to the possible meri...

OK, your looking for the impossible, how about this?A single driver speaker that is pretty much flat from 24 Hz to ultrasonics, and can be driven by amplifiers from as little as 21 watts to over 700 watts? This speaker would have no crossover, les... 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?
No problem Duke, they called this afternoon and we had a good discussion. Heck, there not even mad about the bent fork speaker idea, but they plan to keep their name just the same. 
bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex??
Bwhite, sounds like in incredible solution, but... my favorite is the Purist. The Purist Dominus in 1.5 meter (single unit) is $1565.00. Wonder what a PAIR of 75 foot would be?I anyone at this site that has the bucks to try this, I would love to r... 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?
Either the link provided by Kevin (klblair@buggtussel.comĀ ) is non functioning, he is out of town or does not wish to communicate with me.I sent Kevin an email 5 days ago and have not had a response. 
Calling all tube heads
I just realized that I ask you a question about your tube type and then failed to respond.I agree with Autospec about Amperex 6922 Holland, not because Audio Research does not approve, but rather the way they perform in that piece.If you run Amper... 
Who would like to see a "Tube" section
Chazzbo is correct, and so is Sean and others who have expressed an opinion here. Tubes are a difficult situation, even with a known seller and a known product.I have purchased tubes from ultra reliable sources and still had problems. Many of the ...
