| Amps and Preamps has standby, but should I turn them completely off? The Deluxe was suppose to produce 28 watts, but at what percent distortion? The cream and brown tolex Deluxe had somewhat different circuitry than the later black tolex (but still blackface control panel) version, with more overdrive/tube distorti... | |
| Equipment Rack Geoff’s right ya know. Isolation down to around 3Hz can be accomplished pretty cheaply via a mechanical filter. With it in place, the nature of the shelf under the filter makes far less difference. A lot of people are "tuning" their audio equipmen... | |

| Recommnedations for moderately price balanced IC's, and adaptors to an RCA end Cardas makes XLR-to-RCA and RCA-to-XLR adaptors, but they aren't particularly moderately priced considering the fact that they are made of brass, a not particularly good conductor. | |
| Room Acoustic treatment suggestions, ideas & recommendations If you have money to burn, check out the review in a recent TAS of an active electronic bass trap which the reviewer found to be very effective.

| vandersteen 2sigs to magnepan .7 good move? The .7's, like any dipole (including the ET LFT-8b), need to be a minimum of 5' from the wall behind them (because of the precedence effect), in your case the 13' one, the speakers firing down the 16' length of the room.

| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear I had a pair of Braun made version of the old Quad ESL, only pair I’ve ever seen. Peter Walker allowed Braun to make them for the German market only. I sold them to Brooks Berdan---he wanted them for his Hi-Fi museum. | |
| You can only take 5 albums to a deserted Island... Though "audiophiles" are viewed as caring more about the sound of their systems than the music playing on it, ya’ll prove that is absolutely not true. Great, great music listed here. Since this is a separate post, I get to list five more ;-) :- Be... | |
| Subwoofer hunt Rythmik allows you to audition any of their models in your system, and to return them if unsatisfied, paying only shipping. I would wager you wouldn’t return the F12---it has been found to blend seamlessly with Magneplanars, Quads, BG ribbons, OB’... | |

| Amy Winehouse Seems that every generation loses a number of it's best/most interesting artists at a young age. The angels that propel them to greatness are accompanied by demons who haunt their souls. Is there a relationship between the two? Amy was the best of... | |

| Tube Phono Stage with balls, and slam!! Fremer described the sound of the Liberty B2B-1 phono amp as being what you may be looking for. It has an extremely high overload figure, a very good thing. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 12ax7 Recommendations? Speaking of the Herron phono amp and 12AX7 tubes.....the 5751 tube is said to be a 12AX7 substitute, a military grade tube with slightly lower gain than the 12AX7. Does anyone have experience with the 5751 in a circuit designed for the 12AX7? | |
