| Remembering Lou Reed I always liked Lou Reed, but was not a huge fan. Then I went to see himat the Bottom Line in NYC and was blown away. It was the late show, starting around 1 A.M. so the audience was extremely happy let's say.The Bottom line is a small place and ... | |
| What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more It has always been amazing to me how a well thought out full range system with good imaging can be so divisive. Among the people I count as friends there is only one audiophile and if anything I tell him just listento the music. He claims he does... | |

| Brave man, McGowan... If I were Paul McGowan the experiment for me would be to "daisy chain"lets say 5 of those P20 regenerators together. First one into the wall and the next one into its output etc etc. He certainly has a bunch of them and they test them all prior ... | |

| Who remembers audio from the time when ... My parents had a Magnavox cabinet phonograph with 2 12" woofers! It was stocked with all Broadway show records that they had been to as well as Sinatra records. They had seen him live many times at the Rustic Lodge in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Well,... | |
| Warm up time for amps @noromance I totally agree. I'm simply saying that if you start at a higher temp, the amp will reach thermal stasis quicker, which was the question posed by the OP.@b_limo Agree also, starting an ice-cold engine is the worst thing you can do to it... | |
| Warm up time for amps If you really believe its a heat issue go out and buy an indoor/outdoorthermometer with the little wire outdoor probe. Rest that probe on the ventilation holes with the amps at idle for 24 hours. Take reading.Put on some music that you are sure ... |
