What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
My only experience with Pass gear are the Aleph 3 and Aleph 2's I had many years ago. IMO, both were great sounding and when I decided to downsize I preferred the VTL MB125 just a bit more than the Aleph 2's I had at the same time.The Aleph 3 I so... 
Can a speaker just die?
Just tried in different rig and it worked.  Brought back to main rig and zero sound.I thought WTF!For whatever reason, the spade wasn't making a connection.  Moved it around a few times and now I have sound.Weird. 
Why are equipment racks so expensive?

Why are equipment racks so expensive?
I tried making a stand out of Lack tables back when that was the inexpensive craze.I bought five or six tables, drew up my diagram, marked the legs and proceeded to cut.  Then I found out the legs were hollow.  Nothing I read back then indicated t... 
Speaker repair...is it easy?
Thanks, everyone.  I think I will send the driver to a professional for repair since I'm not sure I can even get a replacement speaker for the Dunlavys should I screw the pooch on this repair attempt.The next logical question:  Who should I send i...

At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home?
No be my answer.  No friggin' way to be exact.The real question is who would even want to create a live band in their listening room?  Even a simple acoustic guitar played eight fert away is loud.  I want something that sounds good to my ears in m... 
Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP
I don't know why people keep rebuying KOB in every new and improved format.  Count me out.  I've already got far too many copies (yeah, I know.  I was one of those who kept rebuying.)The tapes are 60+ years old.  I can't imagine it hasn't degraded... 
When did you most enjoy the music?
I think nostalgia and fond memories of friends and girlfriends adds to the recollection of just how much we enjoyed our music of our youth.  Just music with no concern for how it was delivered to us.Yep.  I get it.My favorite sound of any stereo I...

VINYL SUCKS!
Enjoyed the video.I've also held a used, original pressing of a Brubeck record from the '50s, and wondered about its journey.  How many others owned it, what their lives were like, etc.Have what I would consider a nice vinyl rig, along with a few ...
