Electrostatic positioning 1A
If you are asking about Soundlab A-1 speakers, there are separate controls for bass, mid and highs that are adjustable from each other. Add to that, the placement of RPG panels and tube traps greatly increase the ability to adjust the tonal balanc... 
Best Used Vinyl Shops in Las Vegas, Nev
Just to clarify, the Shalimar is quite a long way from the shop I bought from. The small record shop I am speaking of is walking distance from the rear parking lot of the Sahara. It is perhaps a half block in the direction of the old downtown area...

Mix of RCA Balanced Cables. Is it ok?

dogpile.com? Does this refer to the game kids play by jumping on each other in a stack, or the "puree of Gravy Train" on your shoes when you hit it with your lawn mower? 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Stevenj, I cannot tell if your post is in jest, or you are sincere. If you are suggesting that lowering and raising the damping factor with a switch is a joke, I can assure you that it is not.Controlling an amplifiers damping factor is not novel. ...

Man, you guys have nailed the LP's to look for. The only others that immediately come to mind are Verve, Concord and ECM. The Verve are typically mainstream Jazz such as Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday. Even though many of thes...
