| The passing of Marianne Barber of Joule Electra I had the privilege of meeting Marianne on several occasions at the CES show, and she was a fantastic woman: caring, courteous, intelligent, sensitive, and always interested in you. She was just a pleasure to be around.God bless. | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield You are reading the Crutchfield information incorrectly. The prices you quote are for each individual speaker, not for a pair of speakers. Thus, a pair of 2.4s would be approximately $5,000 shipping included. | |
| Mstislav Rostropovich has died at the age of 80 A great musician, and an even greater humanitarian. A loss to all of us who love music and respect music makers. | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters? In general, and there are always exceptions, tweeters are more apt to be blown by a combination of overloud playing from an underpowered amplifier; the amplifier being driven into clipping and it is the clipping that destroys the tweeter. | |
| what to do cordless phone amplifier problem I have a feeling that Eric is correct. The 2.4 ghz cordless phones are notorious for generating interference, especially with microwave ovens. I have experienced that myself, and now only allow the 5.8 ghz phones in the house. The 900mhz is a solu... | |
| Integrated for B&W 805 Signatures The full Class A Mambo, especially with the full Parts Connexion mod, is most definitely something to be reckoned with. Close to the very best sound I have ever heard. | |
| Questions about Bryston 7B-ST I agree with Pbb. But also since you are covered by a 20 year warranty issued by a company that is known for their outstanding customer support and service, why don't you call or e-mail Bryston? You can find their contact information at BRYSTON.CA... | |
| best possible indoor antenna I recently purchased the GODAR GIA and was totally amazed at how much better it was at pulling in weak signals from previously unlistenable stations. List price is $65 or so, but it can be purchased at CCRANE.COM for $55 shipped. By the way, I hav... | |
| Edge M series amps, how good are they? I once owned two of the "M" series Edge amps and found them to be magnificent. They would drive any load with a transparency and lack of coloration that was jawdropping. However, if your listening preferences are for a warmer than natural sound la... | |
| Integrated For Revel M20s Other candidates to consider are the Krell 400ix and the BV Audio A300s, which is a true dual mono design and will supposedly drive anything. There is an excellent review of the latter at STEREOTIMES.COM. Also, for what it's worth, one of the Engl... | |
| Will a 30 feet long speaker cable cause problems? Hi:I am a reviewer so I am going to respond to you privately. Extra long speaker cable lengths have the potential to cause problems, such as roll-offs in the low bass and high treble. Also, speaker cables with unusually high capacitance may not be... | |
| You never know what today will bring TWL is correct. The difference between single-ended and balanced is indeed +6db. The same thing would happen if you switched from single-ended to balanced between your preamp and amp. | |
| Is good sound possible with an inexpensive DVD? I agree with Sherod on the Sony DVP-NS500V. Heck, I purchased mine about 6 months ago BRAND NEW for $160 from Circuit City, which was then engaged in a miniature local price war on that item with some other mass market retailers. At that price, I ... | |
| "Media Mail"cheap but faulty system? I couldn't agree more with "Just Listen". In operation, Media Mail is a relatively expensive, inefficient, and non-productive service alternative. I have had experiences where packages have taken 7 or 8 weeks to arrive. Given the choice, I will ne... | |
| Lyrita Catalog Like the other two contributors above, I own the Malcolm Arnold CD (courtesy of Allegro Imports) as well as a fair number of other Lyritas. I do not know whether any of them are still in print, but they occasionally appear on eBay; and it is possi... |
