Best steak to eat while listening to your rig?
Mrtennis, start your own thread about which veggie burger people like. 
What's more important: phono stage or amp
You guys can curse me all you want. I wasn't the only one thinking the question was not well thought out. If the OP is really trying to decide where to compromise between the amp and phono stage, I suggest flipping a coin. The pros and cons of cha... 
Hurricane Irene
Well, thanks for that! A mental image I didn't need! :-) Glad you came through ok, Swampwalker. Haven't heard from Doug and Paul. We did get some water blowing in the entrance door that faces east, but no real damage. We're still on the generator,... 
How does the drum kit sound on your rig?
Driver, I can achieve that on 50 watts. :-) 
Hurricane Irene
The track is truly the worst case scenario forecasters have warned about. Fortunately, Irene was not able to strengthen as it moved up the coast toward N.C. If this was even a cat 3, on the path it is slowly moving on, things would me much, much w...

redneck iPod in-car connection
This is a piece of cake in my F-150 with Sync, but honestly, the CD player still sounds much, much better. 
Sagging Voice Coils?
I always understood this to be a problem with storing drivers, not necessarily with those in regular use.

My basement, where my system lives. 
Who tweaks VTF too?
There are a lot of us who hear what small VTF changes do. But as you say, it is only one parameter of several in a dynamic situation. I don't think making absolute statements as to whether it is this or that is helpful because these parameters mus... 
Does anyone have a Bryston 4b-st driving horns?
It would help to know what horn. What you need to know about any amp driving horns is how does it sound in the first 1/2 to 1 watt. I don't think there are many Bryston amps that will sound good in this range, but if it were me I would think about...

There is NO eating in my listening room. Beverages are tricky enough.I much prefer a Boston Butt, cooked about 14 hours with apple wood. It's a southern thing. :-)
