| Mono blocks on different phases of the sub panel? I agree with dedicated lines, but disagree with splitting the amps on two phases from the panel. I prefer the "high" side of my 240 Volt drop for all four amps. The high side meaning one phase measures 122 volts and the other 119 volts. The 122 ru... | |
| Is it questionable to buy new popular music on LP? Chadnliz,I also have this across the board from Radiohead to most any new album, anyone else feel this way? Answer for me is no. I have all the albums by Radiohead, including the new double 45RPM "In Rainbows" that I bought directly from their sit... | |
| Earl Root, the Root of All Evil, RIP Ralph, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your long time friend Earl.You no doubt remember, I always walked into your room at CES and yelled, "Root of All Evil" at Earl and he would laugh. After talking and teasing with him for awhile I would lea... | |

| A Big Thank you, to Albert Porter...from My Mother This is a very sentimental and relationship story. The world that we live in has many wonderful people. As the boomers get of age, and mostly our priorities set on the worldly treasures, and events. We may want to step back and contemplate our ori... | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Interesting thought, I don't doubt you. All materials have a sound and brass is definitely more friendly than steel.Maybe I should contact the tech guys in Denmark for advise, the same ones I spoke with when I redesigned the crossover. | |
| A Big Thank you, to Albert Porter...from My Mother Timrhu -- My memory is hazy about the A&M building but I believe Arnold & Morgan was a standalone building (Is this correct, Albert?) located near a strip shopping mall in Garland, Texas, a northeastern suburb of Dallas. I do not recall if... | |

| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Having been around audio for a long time and a past filled with car racing and engine building, when I say tighten with all my might I should have clarified the situation. Torx can be set up to fit two screwdriver handles or a ratchet drive. For s... | |
| A Big Thank you, to Albert Porter...from My Mother Great memories Mary, that was so long ago.Arnold and Morgan was the most amazing music store I was ever involved with.

| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: This thread made me wonder if my Dali Megalines might benefit from torquing the woofer screws. The ribbons are suspended in space, so they are non adjustable.I removed the top section grill cloth on each side (of the six sections) and located in m... | |
| Static Control Will A Mat Help It's possible to use a conductive turntable mat, allowing the charge to bleed off through the chassis of the table, provided it's grounded.This and a Zerostat should end all static. | |
| Levinson DAC needs kidney OK, no one is responding, so here's some really silly stuff.At the end of the story (link below) there's reference to a kidney, even though it does not help your Levinson it may be the true path to candy mountain.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPO... | |
| 6SN7 based Pre-Amplifier Why don't you contact Mike Elliott at Aria and see what magic he has in store for your SA-11?The Counterpoint SA-11 and SA-9 were my reference pieces before Mike built the EASE and my final evolution into Aesthetix. The Aesthetix Callisto uses 6SN... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). After a minute or so she turned to me with a very astonished look on her face and exclaimed in a rather loud voice "how do they DO that?!" She was referring to the speakers and their ability to soundstage and image.That's why those of us that love... |
