Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
Pbb. No ECM stuff in a long time? What can you mean? Charles LLoyd, Dave Holland (and more)... challenging and loveable. Charles Lloyd brings tears to my eyes.Sincerely, I remain 
Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic
Comchenry, Isn't it amazing what that change will do and Ain't Northcreek great! Their crossovers (caps and coils) will improve almost anybody's life. I build a few of my own speakers based on George Short's designs and he deserves some credit. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
rgstein: Its all been downhill since vinyle. Listening to a cd on good stuff is like looking at a vangogh through a screen door. A clean screen door though. Sincerely, I remain 
Best Matched Monitor Speakers For 300B S.E.T amps
Off base from your inquiry but you say your room is 12x12? Rooms with common dimensions are notoriously bad sometimes for listening as the same wavelength tends to get reinforced in numerous ways.(standing waves, room resonant frequency ect...) Ta...

Talons Peregrine with small SET tube amps
Agree w above. Talons are rated 90.5 sensitivity which, for me, is low for a SET to perform well. Very nice speakers though. 
Do cables really need "breaking in"?
This is only half on pointbut I am a no count amateur speaker builder. But all of the guys I admire (Lynn Olson, George Short on and on) share at least two common traits. 1) They know all of the numbers and formulas and put great store in them. In...

How Do You Decide What to Listen To?
TireguyJohn Tesh brings pain to me too and I didn't even have any teeth removed. I'm just glad you were not listening to Greg Brown or Charles Lloyd or somebody else when you went to the dentist.(This is just a joke)Sincerely, I remain 
Any info on fat bottle Ei tubes?
Have not used em but heard they are rugged and maybe little bright to some people (I never know how much to put into such reports). My understanding is that most Ei's (Yugo/Serbian)floating around now are not actually EL34's but a true beam tetrod... 
How much DC is considered safe?
Plato:In short-0But-My understanding is that measuring dc with ac present usually results in unreliable readings. Especially true with most garden variety digital meters. Probably not to worry over those readings. Tweeters generally safe from low ... 
Modified equipment...
It's funny how these topics very so much from group to group. This forum is based at secondary retail site and maybe folks just think that way. You go some places and mods are just taken for granted, every one mods and it's almost just taken for g...
