| Jeff Rowland 8Ti still available? I have to wonder about that since, as I understand it, the XA amps (at least the first ones) are outrageously expensive. | |
| Linn Ittok LV II -- removable DIN-connected cable? Thanks musicdoc and mg. MG, your note of caution reminds me why I wish I didn't have a Linn. I have a manual, but I'm not sure I want to even get involved. | |
| my Talon Khorus sounds bad Slaufer, this is off-topic, but I would love to hear a thumbnail comparison of all of those speakers you owned and evaluated. Strengths & weaknesses, that sort of thing. If you have the time.--dan | |
| PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton I just ordered a FIM from Galen. It is $55, not $60 as I said before. One of those tweak impulse buys. | |
| PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton FIM has an outlet for about $60, which Galen Carol really raved about in his last newsletter. | |
| Pass 600 vs. X1000-any differences in sonics? What about the other X series amps? Do you find much difference between the X-150 and X-250, for example? | |

| my Talon Khorus sounds bad There you go, a stand-up manufacturer. Let us know what happens, will you? | |
| cables for GUITARISTS from audio companys Tara Labs also has a line. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Thinking about this over the past couple of days, I believe one of the problems I have with the general SJ genre is the electric bass. I love electric bass in many contexts, but it's a distraction for me in SJ, particularly that slap-and-tickle st... | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic I owned Quad 57's for many years before moving to dynamic speakers, of which I have had a succession: Avalon Eclipse, Spendor 1/2, and now ProAc 2.5. Despite upgrading all other parts of my system, I find that I just don't get off on the music as ... |
