| Jeff Rowland Model 6 or Model 8 vtin: you've started two threads seeking advice on amplifiers for your avalon's in the past week. i, and others, could write thousands more words attempting to describe the "sound" of various amplifiers in which you express an interest. but not ev... | |
| speaker cables with a warm sound you don't mention your source electronics. some of your brightness may be coming from your digital frontend. it'd be a shame to use cables as tone controls, only to need another change if you upgrade your dac, transport or player. - kelly | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 6 or Model 8 vtin: the jrdg model 6 was a mono version of the model 2. the six put out 150 w into 8 ohms and 250 into 4. the 8, which has been around since 1992, is a stereo amp, the current version of which is the 8tiHC. the 8 is rated at 250 w into 8 ohms, 4... | |

| Who R U? jphilips: let me echo david's welcome. boy, if we get any more physicians on board, we're gonna need a hospital administrator just to monitor them. ;^] . kelly | |

| Help - my new Classe CAM350s have blown up... glen: of course, you are right. i did mean volts, not amps. thank you for your correction. (my secratary calls these foul-ups "brain farts"; the older i get, it seems, the more flatulent is my mind.) -kelly | |
| SS or tube preamp? Which one? audio999: you're really john updike, right, and just tryin' to get a rise out of us by pretending to be one of the guys who writes service manuals for hundai? and, oh yeah, i've tried to watch movies on that overwrought jadis gear you keep pushin'... | |
| What is a redbook CD? craig's response is the standard one, tho, i've been told that the term originated during the cultural revolution in china. it originally referred to a very small number of cd's that were favored by chairman mao. surprisingly to some, most selecti... | |

| Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away? sdcampbell: i have found myself in agreement with you more times than not. i can't, however, embrace a "reviewer" like richard hardesty. he says, without foudation, *most of the mega-dollar cables are really bad and should be avoided.* that senten... | |
| Tone arm cable recommendations before any of the cognoscente jump me, let me correct my last post. the air tangent mentioned was a 10b, not 2b. sorry. -kelly | |
| Tone arm cable recommendations michael: when i had a similar need with my long-gone smeV, i used a "pib" interface box instead of din>rca interconnects. the pib allows you to plug the male din lead into it and attach any rca's out you choose. another alternative is one i use... | |
