What does Nominal Impedance mean?
I believe speakers (and other devices) do not have a constant impedance. So "nominal impedance" is what it has most of the time (average?).  
Space Tech Lab super rectifier
"So much more information using this device"... I can't understand how recording engineers/equipment is so good recording information and so poor playing information back? What is the problem guys? Are manufacturers doing this on purpose so we c... 
AXPONA — PS Audio
@dayglow - Had the same experience with Wilsons at a 'Vegas T.H.E. show. First day, sounded very dull. By third day (Peter McGrath at the controls), everything settled down and sounding super fine. An ear-opening experience.  
If it sounds 'great', everything is ok?

Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer.
I think the big market for 12AX7 is guitar amplifiers. A lot more of them than audiophiles. I'm think this influenced WE's business plan.  
How to Upload Photos in a post?
