| Best object in your listening room. I have a stuffed and mounted Big Sheep hunter who was "taken" by my grandpappy's mammy's uncle's dog's nephew sometime during the 1960's. | |
| Audiophile license plates Having a bit of a problem abbreviating it, but..."DEAN DRAPER MALE NURSE" is kind of catchy. | |
| a little dinner music Vince Guaraldi and Bill Evans are always nice. Also look for "The Astaire Story" (Fred Astaire singing with Oscar Perterson, Barney Kessel, Charlie Shavers, Flip Phillips, Ray Brown and Alvin Stoller).The 1952 Astaire recordings have generated the... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective "Smurfalicious"Though admittedly it doesn't come up all that often. | |

| which cowboy junkies cd? The first three albums would be a good start (Whites Off Earth, The Trinity Sessions, The Caution Horses).Listening to "Whites Off Earth" may cause you to see their later work in a different manner/light.Not familiar with 2003 onward releases, and... | |
| Ikea batteries went sour Been using the same 2 pairs of Energizer rechargable 9 volt batteries in my phono preamps for 3+ years (use one pair while slow charging the other pair).A quad of rechargable AA's last a year in my digital camera (after camera duty they are still ... | |
| 16 ohms speakers- 8 ohms output amp Suggest experimenting with the drivers and various OB/cabinet configurations (with amplification available) before investing in a "long term" amplifier.May be that you prefer something different than the Fertin's.I've used gobs of SS & tube am... | |

| 16 ohms speakers- 8 ohms output amp PS: Fertin specs the EX20 as an 8 ohm driver, so I assume yours are of special order/production.Not familiar with field coil drivers, so don't know if you measure the static impedance in the same manner as that of later magnet design cone drivers.... | |
| 16 ohms speakers- 8 ohms output amp Check out the new Bottlehead Paramount kits (4/8/16 ohm taps) available in both 2A3/300B format.Less expensive would be the Paramour (2A3) kits with the "iron upgrade". The upgrade iron may be be available (again) in a month, or two.Imagine many m... |
