| Going to USA: Where to buy LPs in CA and Vegas? Hiend2: You mean "Decature ave." as in "Decature ave. on the west side of Las Vegas"?Also, try "Z" records on Eastern ave. and Flamingo (3-4 miles east of the Strip).Nothing like the used-vinyl vaults on Chicago's Clark street but worth a look. | |

| Leave an amp "on" permanetly A Dealer Man I know says that, in his experience, tubes take an hour to stabilize and sound good and solid state takes 24 hours.So a good "green" compromise is to turn your amp on Friday morning and turn it off Sunday night for a good weekend list... | |
| New Display Technologies June/July's "The Perfect Vision" features a 52" LCD RPT which uses an LCD light source.This currently available set from NuVision retails for $4299. | |
| New Display Technologies The "next big thing", IMO, is LED light source for RPT and LCD TV. This means you don't have to purchase a $200 - $500 bulb every 2-3 years (uses less power too - be green).HDMI 1.3 is another huge upgrade that should be out this fall. This allows... | |

| Harbeth Experts Tomryan: Thanks for the informative response. | |
| Harbeth Experts Tomryan: Can you elaborate the circumstances when the 7-2s sounded "thick"?I heard them in the nearfield with a small jazz ensemble and in no way was there any "thickness".Possibly, playing full tilt symphonic at full volume may alter their charac... | |
| Harbeth Experts Great info -Thanks to you both.I heard the Compact 7es2 at T.H.E. show a few years ago paired with the Plinius 102 and Meitner CD player (I believe).Thought the sound was stunningly good (coherent to a fault, beautiful timbres, etc.).I'm just puzz... |
