| Best CD of Diana Krall?? She does not use a mike or her tongue as well as she could. Either offer her some lessons, or live with it. | |
| Main line voltage from PG E PS: I live in the LA area (West Hollywood) and as far as I know we only have two electrical utilities. | |
| Main line voltage from PG E I have an API conditioner with an alarm hooked up to our computer and for periods of months at a time, the voltage has dropped enough to set it off many times a day. Your equipment will probably sound the same as it does now. A power regenerator (... | |
| Which amp tube, input or output? Yes, you should. I use different input, output and driver tubes in my Audion Silver Night to different effect. The driver makes the least difference in this amp's design, but I still have couple of favorites. I have only used various versions of t... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Lorne: Are you a friend of Bill W's? My wife once attended a meeting of the Beverly Hills chapter in the 80's at which a young gentleman who once attempted to rob "The Saloon" in BH's while dressed up as a cowboy (think "Rhinestone Cowboy") and hi... | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions Snook: Yes, the mike used on the first cut is obviously not super directional, but the recording really does not bother me at all as this is what I recall most live music sounding like. I also like the instruments and the vocals to blend a bit in ... | |
| Which Rack Is Better? Before deciding on a rack I will suggest that you go to the Neauance website (http://www.neuanceaudio.com/) and research their custom shelving. I went from a very heavy cabinet (400-500 lbs) equipped with sandwiches made of soft footers, maple pla... | |

| Your thoughts on speaker stands "angle" | |
| Your thoughts on speaker stands Paul: What is a "lossy" box? I forgot about the Kitty Litter thing and will try it out on the "light" stands that I use in the bedroom. Also, yes both of my speakers sound better angled very slightly up (more spacious). This is what I use the rod ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I just received a flyer from Maplshade and they now have improved versions of their speaker cable (drat). | |
| Upgrading bose 301's .. the next step ? Bu-dum-bum-bump. | |
| Upgrading bose 301's .. the next step ? SD: Meant the Reynaud Twins ($845), which I own and highly recommend. The Trente's are over $2.5K. | |
| Your thoughts on speaker stands Generally speaking my advice is to go with light but rigid stands if you have "springy" floors such as wood or heavy rigid stands if you have more secure floors such as cement of plaster. I would use spikes to couple to the floor in both cases. I ... | |
| John Hartford I never followed John's musical carreer, but used to tune into the Glen Cambell show as a kid (he was the only reason to do so) to watch/listen to him. Seems that I saw him later on in a PBS show filmed along a river bank with other folk greats. |
