| Tom Waitts Where do I begin? Hey Warren, nothing like a little diversity in your listening tastes Huh'? One of my favorite periods of Tom Waits is the period in which he was locked up in hotel rooms in L.A. with Ricki Lee Jones doing heroin. Approx. 1982-1988. It's sometimes ... | |
| Balanced Power and Voltage Regulators- Thoughts I am presently using an Exactpower EP-15. It is very efficient because it regenerates only a fairly small percentage of the AC waveform. It provides a very solid and stable 120v +/- 1% @ 60hz. It uses very little power in doing so. It makes my 100... | |
| Ever gone from seperates to an integrated? Geoff, I upgraded from seperates to an integrated. Pretty much for exactly the reasons you explained. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). I owned a Luxman pre and 2 Luxman power amps (circa 1978) that I ran bridged. I am presently using a YBA Passion In... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Hey, great responses Folks. I spent the majority of last evening playing many of the solos that you all had mentioned. I don't doubt that many of you ended up doing the same. This morning I walked out into my living room only to find LPs and CDs s... | |

| Will tube amp give more of an analog sound to CD's Ceb222,Tpsonic might have nailed that one. Under my user name, look up "threads initiated". Read "Wash, Cut, Polish and Demagnetize". It ALL starts at the CD, and it's amazing at how much you can improve the average CD. | |
| Guilty Pleasures Duane, On one occasion, Lisa, (my better half) overheard one of the classic lines from that album. I wish I could of videotaped her facial expression at the moment that FZ recites:"But one night Mary didn't show up! She was sucking @#*& backst... | |

| Favorite DAC? Steve, for what it's worth, I LOVE my Audiomeca. I had a 1 month period to A-B it against other dacs including the EMC-1, which I also had for over a month. The Audiomeca is an incredible sounding unit. I can honestly say, it's the first time I ac... | |
| I need to get rid of my JBL 4311s don't I? Jsujo, I used LATs Silverfuse Hook up wire. I rewired all point to point wiring. I also replaced the binding posts with a pair of LATs binding posts. The stock binding posts on the JBLs are basically useless. When completed, I noticed much better ... | |

| Warped records, can they be somewhat dewarped? Finsfan, I can provide you with a method that works like a charm. Although it's a little extensive, you will absolutely have a FLAT record when you're done. I have a 2" thick maple chopping block in my kitchen. I also own a piece of granite that I... |
