Space-Tech preamp review
so, looks like only left-coasters and cannucks been invited to this party, eh? that's ok. i'm within a 50 mile radius of avalon, boulder, dunlavy, green mountain, ayre, ps audio & jeff rowland. let me know if you need anything. ;-) -kelly 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
glen: the "edit" feature works only until a post follows yours. -kelly 
Adjustable Gain?
an adjustable gain switch allows you to compensate for varying voltages of input sources. many such gain adjustments are in phono stages, allowing greater gain for mc cartridges than mm. some companies (e.g., boulder) provide gain adjustments for ... 
Subwoofer Help...
forget the subs. you will be much happier with a pair of full-range speakers, particularly given your penchant for classical music (which i assume includes large orchestral pieces). i've had a number of very highend monitor/sub systems; none has b... 
Looking for a pre-amp....
the jrdg synergy II will likely be a good match. the boulder 1012 is also worth a listen, should you want a pre/dac combo with a great phono stage thrown in. to my ears, the boulder 1012 is actually superior to any of jeff's current pre's, both li... 
Can $15,000 Sound As Good As $75,000?
as someone who's climbed the ladder for a long while, i have no plans to search for a system with an msrp equal to 1/4 of my present one. sure, i've heard great systems that retail for $15k and lousy ones for $100k. i am presently upgrading from a... 
Is it important for tuner recalibration?
"recalibration" of tuners means simply that the display, in analog or digital mode, is set to correspond correctly to the frequency of each station for which a broadcast signal is detected. it's more important to assure this is done in tuners with... 
As-Is, What does it mean?
good post moto_man. you've reduced a complicated issue of the law of contracts to a simple, understandable english statement. bravo! i've nothing to add nor subtract. -kelly 
This ever happen to you?
kubla: thanks for the confirmation of our experiment's success. i suggest you remove all the queens from the deck now and forego playing solitaire until you're contacted again by your control. -kelly 
What are the best looking power cables?
i understand xlo is redoing their whole line but their recent power cords are pretty snappy if you like purple.- kelly 
What does State of the Art mean to you?
j_thunders: i find your post to be much more offensive than either of those by leafs. leafs opined on an idea or its expression. you resort to personal denigration. there's no excuse for such behavior in this instance. -kelly 
Corner hanging speakers - okay? Weird?
kubla: "the line" must be a few miles behind you by now. ;) my guess is that your projected setup would produce a soundstage that would put you in a chasm, looking up at the performers. perhaps like playing in the orchestra pit and listening to th... 
World Music: Great Suggestions, please?
"world music" has so many roots that it's almost impossible to limit. a couple of "must-haves" are "juju music" by king sunny ade and "gipsy kings," a euponymous album. i also suggest some robert crumb (of zapp comix, etc); his latest is "world mu... 
Should 2nd. Buyer Receive Guarantee ?
once again, this is a legal question wrapped in marketing considerations. there is no federal requirement for warrantors to transfer warranties to secondary, tertiary, etc. purchasers of any product, of which i'm aware. moreover, despite the urban...
