| Bedini 150/150 mkII question I can't answer your "feed forward" question technically, but I was on the phone once with Gary Bedini regarding my Bedini 100/100. I asked him how it's possible that a pure class A amp could run as cool as my 100/100 (it never gets hot - especiall... | |
| Telling Left from Right on unlabeled RCA cables I would just do a continuity check (ie with a multi-meter) from one of the headshell leads to the RCA. The red headshell lead is the right channel +, green is right channel -. Pick either one, and test to the RCA + or - accordingly. This takes 15 ... | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... The very first? I'm not sure I can remember back that far, but it's a good bet it was either Eric Clapton "Layla", or maybe Traffic "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys". | |
| Progressive Rock So he was the guy behind Blackfield too? I have only heard Blackfield and Porcupine Tree by listening to some internet streaming prog rock stationsThe "Blackfield" cd is a must have - it has excellent sonics, and the music is all excellent. | |

I would start with 1) "Transparence", and 2) "Philip Catherine/Bert Joris Brussels Jazz Orchestra - ... | |

| How many pair of speakers do you own? 6 pairs that matter. There's a bunch of stragglers around here that aren't worth talking about, and eventually will be liquidated. | |
| How do I run my B&k 200.2 s2 at 4 ohms Just plug it in, and connect the speakers. It's not like a tube amp or pro gear - it has no output transformers with 4 ohm taps. It just deals with the load presented to it - and is designed to do so. | |
| Infinity Kappa 8's look for a pair of B&K M200 Sonatas. They're stable to 1 ohm, capable of 150 amps peak-peak, and sound wonderful. They can be found for | |
| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? My Dad. He owned a shop in the 50's-60's (he died in '66).
