David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions
EAR 868PL, either of the Atma-Sphere’s, Herron (separate phono and line). 
When speakers duplicate drivers
If done correctly, increased power handling and greater maximum SPL. If not, phase cancellation, comb-filter effects, and erratic frequency response depending on listening angle relative to the speaker.

Marti Jones, and her producer/husband Don Dixon, as SO good! Don may even be a better producer than T-Bone Burnette (and definitely a better songwriter and singer, not a T-Bone strength, imo). It's a shame he never progressed beyond that amateur D... 
Austrailian rock and roll
Hoodoo Gurus. Dead Ringer Band (Kasey Chambers' family's Band---her dad, brother, and herself). 
Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired
Something occurred to me today: Doesn’t the fact that a digital device is connected to a, say, pre-amp negate the benefit of having the two on different circuits? And if that is the case, is it so only if the connection is unbalanced? If the conne... 
Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever
A guilty pleasure of mine as well, tzh21y. Heck, I don't even mind her music, though I wish they hadn't marketed her as Country, thereby depriving real Country singers of some deserved exposure. A real one who also looks real good is Australian Ka... 
What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?
Yeah cleeds, my argument was more of an intellectual (though by that I don’t mean smart!) or theoretical one for justifying the case of choosing a table based on the differing musical abilities of various models. I had a friend (R.I.P.) who had pe...

Terry Reid was Jimmy Page’s first choice for singer of the new Group he was putting together in ’68. When Terry declined, Jimmy asked another guy ;-). 
Guy Clark has passed away
Great documentary sfar. Left one still not quite knowing what was going on in Townes' head. Steve Earle says he was a better songwriter than Dylan, which may be taking it too far.

Well, I have looked into the matter of AC outlets, and I do believe I'll pay to find out if my natural inclination towards needing to see a technical rational for a supposed source of sound difference is too strict. I'll get a Furutech GTX-D(R) an... 
The Hub: QUAD ESL-57, Some good things last a lifetime.
Ric Schultz said the same thing to me, twenty years ago. Now, at my age, with my time left, I may no longer need to be concerned with it ;-). Plus, now out of the damn desert, my dust situation is a thing of the past. I may just cut the darn thing... 
What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?
"Should" not depend on style of music is right, theoretically. But in practice, since all turntables have failings in different ways, ways that are related to certain aspects of music and/or sound, it may be advisable to find a table that least ha... 
Obscure bands
I guess I define obscure differently than some others. Commander Cody obscure? He had a giant hit record, fer Chr@st's sake! No, "kids" today haven't heard of them, but what have they heard of older than their current pair of Chuck Taylor's?I gues... 
Guy Clark has passed away
We’re losing them just about every week now. Dylan could drop dead tonight. The end of the line for my generation is at long last rapidly approaching. My brother-in-law was diagnosed last week with 4th-stage liver cancer, no treatment possible, si... 
Which is the Better Tonearm - Pro-Ject or Rega?
You didn't ask, but I can tell you what makes the Audiomods arm so good (especially for the price). Jeff installs internal arm tube stiffeners to get rid of the resonance peaks of the tube of the best Rega arm, also drilling small holes in it in a...
