| Question to AA Capitole owners Take a look at the classified ads. In the header is the MKI or MKII designation. Physically, the two don't look the same. Among their differences, the MKI has two large knobs on the face plate, the MKII does not.Regards,Howard | |
| Anyone compared Whest Audio with Manley Steelhead? I've heard both, and in my opinion the Steelhead is leaps ahead of the Whest. More dynamic, far greater textural depth, wonderful balance to it. I agree with Jonathan, that for $2600, the Whest is a great value. But the Steelhead is awesome. For $... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? A few years back, I saw Richie Havens in a small club. He was wonderful, such a glorious voice. He's out touring, and I wish I could see him on the 8th of October at the Eureka Springs (AK) folk festival. That is one of the most beautiful places I... | |

| Preamps ... no bass or treble control? We have a George Wright AU-1000 (a/k/a AG-1000 with a gold face plate) that has tone controls. With a slight turn of the bass knob, we're able to enough bottom end even with his 4W SET mono blocks that we sold our sub. As others have suggested, re... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? Most people who have made a claim to have followed religious convictions here have been rediculed for their choice, or called narrow minded bigots. I wonder why more people don't speak up!?!Nate, he asked specifically how many of us would give up ... | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Oliver, Am I seeing something, or are your two speakers not the same distance from the back wall? The right one (as you're seated) appears to be closer. Those windows will reflect a lot. And as Tom said, try moving the couch in a little. That back... | |
| Music and its associations Wow, Joe. You swallowed an iPod!I've got a few more myself:Soundgarden - "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" - Returning at dusk from the 2001 Tour de France, where we had just seen Lance win on the Alpe d'Huez. We were driving back over the mount... | |
| avantgarde uno & duo How can two speakers ... essentially state of the art, each trying to capture "perfect sound", each designed with real live music in mind, with the same standard to try and replicate ... sound so damn different?Bob, I believe you've just summed up... | |
| Music and its associations Thanks for the responses, guys. I'd love to hear more. There is something about the mating of the soundtrack to a specific experience in our lives that fascinates me. That was a beautiful memory, Chad. Not goofy at all.Howard | |
