| Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits Knopfler is one of my fav rock guitarist and his style (lyrics,delivery,guitar) reminds me a lot of J.J. Cale. You might listen to him if you haven't already. Knopfler has some great stuff out with Chet Atkins and the Notting Hillbilles which is a... | |
| SS amps. Why so much power? Well, my hearing isn't as good as Sean's anymore but it won't stop me from putting 2cents worth in. Designing speakers is a trade off, no? You cannot have 1) a small speaker, 2)an effecient speaker and 3) bass. (see www.trueaudio.com/st_trade.htm)... | |
| Pipe Dreams World Cafe, Take Five, Front Porch, Live on Jive .....all the best local radio in our area is public not to mention Morning Edition and All Things Considered. You can have Garrison Keillor over in Minnesota too who occasionally has some good trait... | |
| Cable lengths ELSman: Another point you may consider, if you have not already, is that wire to an ESL has special issues. An ESL acts like a capacitor (C) in the circuit (unlike conventional speakers)and has a transformer as part of the speaker which is an indu... | |
| what does a Rectifier tube do? A rectifier tube (diode) changes alternating current into little lumps of direct current. See www.electronicstheory.com/html/e101-39.htmI remain, | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD TWL, I hope you are right. SACD is better and I hope we at least get there. However, unlike Scott, I've taken the full plunge in the multi-channel department and now have 27 speakers (that's 22.5) in my living room.Sincerely,I remain | |

| How important is "brand name"? "Brand name" is very important in audio because most successful companies spend more time and money developing it than they do audio equipment. I remain, | |
| Great speaker/SET amplifier matches.... Not too strange of match but a Welborne 2A3/Reville w/ a Lowther PM2A/MedII cabinet is a nice listen. If you gotta go the last octave will need some work but a very simple and satisfing system as is. | |
| Movie: Proof of Life "I'll be Your Lover Too" is the name of the tune. | |
| Recycling old designs ??? Hey Sean, is that you doing a Parabee over at the Bottlehead site? Talk about a design ahead of it's time. Read some of the Crowhurst stuff on parallel feed from the 1950's.Cheers, | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Thanks Mike and all for the great post and responses. The Berning amp, pound for pound, is getting a bit of a reputation. It' almost laughable when you pick them up...and then you listen.Cheers, | |
| What difference does the "order" make with x-overs One short addition to Ezmaralda11's fine explanation. An Octave is a doubling or halving of frequency. 20hz to 40hz is an octave. 40 to 80, 80 to 160 are also octaves. 3200hz to 1600hz is an Octave going down.If a crossover is 2nd order it is goin... | |
| What difference does the "order" make with x-overs This is very hard (impossible I think)to explain in a short reply at a forum. For a decent short explanation (12-13 pages) try True Audio. www.trueaudio.com/st_mr1.htm. There are two parts to this article. the second substitutes "mr2" for mr1 in t... | |
| MOST tubelike solid state amp If you like tube sound go with tubes. What are you doing for a pre? |
