| who lives where? Hello Foxtrot,Isn't Chile the ugliest place on the planet? Please tell everyone that it is so they won't ruin it! OK, in all honesty, I've never seen such magnificent scenery as in Chile. And I have travelled quite a few beautiful places on this p... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Feel free to choose your own line of reasoning, but the only truth I answer to in audio is the one informed by my own two ears. And that is my final answer, Regis. | |
| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? Twl,Thank you for the great feedback. Sounds like this could be a fun project in my future, and one that potentially could work perfectly for Dilly.All the best,Howard | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Maybe I'm missing something, but among all of the posts that I've read by those who report scientific data to insist that PC's and outlets don't make any difference, I don't recall anyone saying, "I've tried, XYZ $50 cord against XYZ $600-1000 cor... | |
| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? Twl,This looks like a very rewarding project. How do your speakers sound in comparison with other horns that you have heard?Beautiful system, by the way. | |
| Merlin Owners - Opinions? I've been reading so much about the Merlin/OTL combinations that I'm feeling the NEED to hear it. Does anyone in Northern California run this combination? Or even the Merlins with a different type of amp? If so, and you don't mind me coming over f... | |
| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? I was not crazy about the Loth-X horns, or the newer Klipsch variety. But hey, that's just me. If you are going the Klipsch route, go for the earlier models. As mentioned, the Cornwall (around $800 used) is also a great choice. If nothing else, I ... | |
| who lives where? Foxtrot,Where in Chile do you live? My wife and I were just reminiscing yesterday about our trip there five years ago. We could really go for a bowl of chupe and a pisco sour in our favorite restaurant in Puerto Montt!All the best,Howard | |
| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? Klipsch La Scala--About $1000-1200 used. You will want the earlyversion, with the metal horns. Ours are mated with a7W SET amp. The horns are dampened with Dynamat, the wiring replaced with silver, and we bought some brand new crossovers that are ... | |
| American Music Club Band --A Recommendation Just heard from Mark Eitzel, lead singer of AMC. They are playing a benefit for a friend of his who had an aneurysm on the 16th of December, at The Bottom of the Hill, in SanFrancisco.We'll be there! | |
| American Music Club Band --A Recommendation I am not on the Firefly mailing list, Ben_campbell. I'll look into that. I had bought tickets two months in advance for the SF show, and then we found out that Kings X was playing the same night. They are my wife's favorite band. I asked that we s... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I think it has much more to do with aesthetics than anything else. Just look at the System rooms of any Audiogon member, and compare it with the audio/HT room of someone who is not into high end. One is displayed as a part of one's life, and the o... | |
| Copper vs. Silver interconnects The competition is getting fierce! I've been listening to a pair of the Z-squared Au/Au cables for the past week. They were thin and bright at first, but now that they are opening up (40 hours or more), I have to say that they are extraordinary ca... | |
| which way to start tube-rolling ? please I don't know about that one. When I went from Sovtek tubes to NOS in my Jolida CDP, the difference was astounding. In my experience, no tube change has been inconsequential. Quite the opposite, in fact. | |
| Power Conditioner for Amps. I have plugged a number of amps that I've owned into a variety of power conditioners, and each time, I found the sound to be veiled, and less dynamic. We are now paying $6/month to the local utility company for having installed surge protection on... |
