| what is the difference between good and bad music It's a little something called "soul." | |
| EL-34: JJ Tesla or Electro-Harmonix? I recently went thru your exact situation and found the following:Tesla's: an unoffensive tube, evenly balanced, but just a hair lean in the midbassEH: Very lean, a sibilant bite in the mid treble, didn't make me want to listenSvet Winged C: Yes. ... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I'm sure both of these are fine speakers, but how do know that you will really like either one w/o having auditioned them? This could end up being a risky move IMO, as many have gone down this same path only to get burned. | |
| DIY Internal bracing for NHT 2.9 Don't do it. Narrod is right, as you'll simply be shifting the resonance to a higher frequency. If the resonance is too offensive, sell them. | |

| Elevating line conditioners.... Many people elevate them because it looks really cool. My personal take on the issue is a bit different, however. I pose that doing things like this can also act as a psychological counter to a personal deficit or to something one cannot control. ... | |
| Unusually good power cord for the money? The best cord is the one that came w/the component! "A fool and his money are soon parted." | |
| Where does your user name come from? a combination of the sophisticated "Bo" from ancient Southern folklore and the name of a man who helped my great-grandfather farm for 60 years. | |
| Anyone heard these? How do they sound? Yes, I've heard these at a Linn retailer in Charlotte, and I thought they sounded good hooked up to an all Linn system. They were dynamic and a wee bit lean in the bass/mid-bass, but nice. And they are a nice size -- medium -- and don't dominate a... | |
| Suggestions for Tower stereo speakers You might consider a pair of used Vandersteen 2Cs. They would best your current choices in every way. There is a ton of info on these. |
