has anyone heard the original ml statements
I agree with Estrnad, too hi fi for me as well. Statements are unnatural in depth presentation and in most of the high frequency region, even when powered by great tube gear. Why not consider Maggies, Sound Lab M1 or even Crosby modified Quads? Ea... 
Sound Stop by Celotex - Anyone Familiar?????
You should achieve all the isolation you can use, far superior than the typical construction for dedicated rooms.Still, the interior walls would benefit from acoustic treatment to reduce slap echo standing waves and boundary (proximity) reflection... 
Bargain audio shopping in a time machine...
I would buy the same as Rcprince, and add Genelex type KT-77 and Mullard EL-34 brown base tubes. Any remaining cash would go for Mil spec. Tung Sol 6550's. 
Original Packaging, you gotta have it.
The only comment I have concerning UPS pay scale may be drawn from my delivery person. He had to wait for me to write a check one day and we got into one of our many discussions.He was excited to get off this particular day because he was going to... 
Sound Stop by Celotex - Anyone Familiar?????
The product you are talking about is good. In fact I believe Dow Chemical is buying them.When the one half inch board referred to as Sound Stop is applied on BOTH sides of the stud wall, and layered on top with one half inch sheet rock, it deliver...

Carmen Sings Monk
Doug, your offer is much appreciated. This title is available as CD, in fact in the original version and a newer "remastered" version.Problem is I am a LP guy, and long to find the original vinyl copy that I know exists, although right now seems v... 
Carmen Sings Monk
Speaking to information in Columbia, SC. they have no listing for Papa Johns or Papa Joe's. They did have a listing for Papa Jazz, and I telephoned them. They said Papa Jazz had to be the correct store, as they are the only Jazz store with a simil... 
PAD Rev A vs. Rev B
I believe the mix of metals in the wire were changed from A to B. The B is certainly better, but not the gain that occurred when the original Colossus was upgraded to Rev A.The revisions continue to refine tonal balance as well as tightening up th... 
Wall Plates for speaker wire connections
If you must do this, use Cardas binding posts at the wall plate and high quality spade lugs on the remainder of the (short) run to your speakers.Better yet, simply pull your existing cables through a hole in a decorative plate and leave the termin...

US 2x110 volt 60Hz the same as 220Volt 50Hz
Anfield, no your math is not wrong, the confusion comes from two different types of electrical in the USA. Many areas, including my own home are three phase. There is Delta three phase, where two legs are 120 to 138 degrees apart, and two phase, w...
