Adding pre-amp to an integrated amp?
Siulau: Are you using an amp that only has a single volume control (the only control on it) and which only accepts one line source? Better yet what amp are you using? I have tried a few active preamps with my Audion Silver Night stero 300B amp (wh... 
Great upcoming Los Angeles events
Ooops: I have heard Glass before (mid 70's I believe). Sorry Kubla, I just don't get out much anymore. The last live event that I attended was "Lipsinka" in 1991". 
Great upcoming Los Angeles events
I have never heard of any of them either, but I have met Paul. 
kontact kleaner
I finally tried this product (received a bottle as a gift a few days ago - thanks Bruce). I started out by cleaning the tube sockets (output only as the signal ones were too small for the pipe cleaners supplied with the kit)) and all of the tube p... 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII arrives soon
Hi Ernie: Search Absolute on the first page and it will bring up the ad and the dealer. The PC's were part of a big hullabaloo a while back because of some suspected schills in the threads about them, but the units themselves sound great. I use tw... 
"Pace", it's importance for enjoyment?
What's the matter Snook, can't keep up with the "pace"? Now it's worse than before. 
Which IC is more important?
Ummm: Between machines? I didn't really think that one through. 
Coincident Super Eclipse and amp power
Kalan: I just noticed a new speaker (to me anyway) at the Coincident website. It is named the Victory and specs 97 db A 18+ ohms. It is out of my price range and our cats would kill a pair of floorstanders, but it looks very interesting and does n...

How about ICBM's? 
Stands for LS3/5a's
Glide: Try experimenting with speaker height (with whatever is available at home) before purchasing stands. I used old Rogers Ls3/5a's up until the mid 80's and found that in the two rooms that I had them in they sounded much better approx. 40" of... 
Which came first, the chicken or the egg
And you forgot to specify what the 7 mono blocks are (that you have already purchsed). Whatjd just pointed out some "major" discrepancies in your two threads (very obvious ones indeed) and left an apology in the case that their was a reasonable ex... 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII arrives soon
Ernie: Give one of the $50 Absolute PC's a try. It should keep you happy for the meantime which will give you plenty of time to do your research. 
Upper Midrange Glare problem
Sean: I somewhat remember the cables that you are talking about which were very inexpensive. Please re-list the source of them, if you will. They sound like they might be a good choice for the few new posters that are just starting budget two and ... 
Upper Midrange Glare problem
JC: When using a mirror to locate the first reflection point, how much of the wall area needs to be treated (is their a reasonable minimum)? This has always confused me. 
Hi-End Business
Have you considered representing some of the high end European lines that are difficult to access in the states? This could be done "through" already established high end dealers. I had thought of doing this myself, but cannot handle the travel th...
