Balanced to RCA
Great, thanks Al---Eric. 
What if the cable is too cheap that it cannot be that good?
Bragging rights, pride of ownership. ;-) 
So What Is Real?
Getting a signal from point A to point B involves many of the same issues whether the signal is being recorded, mastered, or played back. The effect cabling makes on the sound of a recording is NOT a moot point! Nor is the fact that the best recor... 
So What Is Real?
Most "professional" recording engineers produce product that contains mediocre at best sound quality. To hold them up as them up as having the definitive opinion about anything is just specious.There are a number of engineers who have created supe... 
Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story
Peter Green’s first solo album (The End Of The Game) came out in late 1970 on Reprise Records (at that time the coolest label in the world, having an amazing roster of artists), and in spite of the album being only three long extended jam songs pe... 
Balanced to RCA
What needs to be known when going from an unbalanced/RCA output (such as an active electronic x/o) to a balanced/XLR power amp input (the XLR wired in accordance with AES File 48: Pin 1 ground, Pin 2 non-inverted signal, Pin 3 inverted signal)? No... 
Guttenberg's Cornwall IV Review -- I'm in trouble
Danny Richie also did a series of three videos (viewable on You Tube: search for GR Research Tech Talk Tuesday) in which he describes the R & D he did on the Klipsch sent to him by a customer, the problems with the loudspeaker he found, and th... 
If Caveman Had Stereo
^^^ Blue Cheer! Music by real Neanderthals. Their version of "Summertime Blues" is about the worst thing I've ever heard. 
Potential subwoofer purchase-a few Q’s
For discussions abut the various Rythmik models, head over to the Rythmik thread on the AVS Forum. And take a look on the Rythmik website under the "Clearance" heading for reduced price examples of their subs. 
Favorite instrument through your favorite speakersi
Vocals, dobro, and harpsichord. They all sound as they should through Quad ESL's. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
The sound old too, @slaw. Old as in adult---they made most of their contemporaries sound like little boys who had just started their first, uh, band. All but organist Garth Hudson were about the same age as The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, etc., but wh... 
Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story
I hear ya @crustycool. One of my High School bands played "The Stumble", learning it off John Mayall’s 2nd album, with Peter Green taking Clapton’s place on guitar (Fleetwood Mac’s John McVie was at the time Mayall’s bass player). We hadn’t yet le... 
Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story
Cool @slaw, but I have to warn you, the album was never available on LP. Don't let that stop you from getting it! CD's aren't THAT bad. ;-) 
Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story
All good points @ghosthouse. The purist Folkies didn't know it, but in High School Dylan played in a Rock 'n' Roll band, doing Little Richard type material. He had ambitions far beyond Folk music itself, using the genre as his launching pad due to...

Speaking of elderly: I just had my pic taken at Walgreens for my new passport (I’m heading over to Ireland/England/France/Germany in April). I compared that pic to that on my 1981 passport, and OH MY GOD is time a cruel mistress. :-(@tomic601, I h...
