| 807 Tubes - - Any Experience Out There? It's a good solid tube, built for transmitters. Similar sound to other tetrode/pentodes. If you need some let me know. -Ed | |
| Have you heard the new Zanden digital gear? I find the WAF ok but there's plenty of stuff out there that is better in that regard. IMHO.-Ed | |
| cowboy junkies Just got it a couple days ago. Quite good, still warming up to it. Much better than previous studio album, 'Open', more like their classic sound, with hints of electric guitar in there too. There's some great live shows (full CD quality resolution... | |
| 845 DIY kit There are no 845 kits. A bit too much B+ for most kit manufacturers to want to risk. | |
| Maggie's and cats The Cure? A couple shells of buckshot and double barrel 12 gauge should do the trick. Preferably outside. -Ed | |
| organ tube amps LImited bandwidth on the output transformers I'd think. Overall, decent iron usually, but not plug and play. Not a bad chassis/platform to start with for DIY tube project, though. Webster seemed to make some of the better-regarded ones. -Ed | |
| Thoughts on single driver speakers Martin Logan CLS: Probably one of the best single driver designs ever made. A total steal too, on the used market. -Ed | |
| Have you heard the new Zanden digital gear? Bring a big wallet. | |
| Electrostatic dangers? Need an isolator for the coax cable, I think. the 3-prong cord will be the best choice, I'd put that back in, isolate the ground on the cable, and it should solve things. Floating AC ground is not recommended, despite the recommendations of some p... | |
| return of the king Ah right. Yes, Sauruman. Didn't realize his (actor's) name. Indeed, there was a good bit lacking in the 3rd movie w.r.t. him. (the part where the Palantir gets thrown out, etc.) And definitely the Cleansing of the Shire is a notable omission. It w... | |
| 75 ohm digital cable need to measure it (in parallel) when terminated @ one end, I believe. The rating is for it connected into a system, not by itself. -Ed | |
| return of the king Again, whats the deal on the missing footage? e.g. What character did christopher lee play in lotr ROTK ? | |
| Do all Cary amps have a 'Cary' sound ? "QuickSilver or AudioResearch" ? Cary pretty much kicks both their asses. AR - great for tube destruction, if you have too many tubes on your hands. As ugly as the worst solid-state gear. Quicksilver - their 8417 and some of the silver 60, silver ... | |
| return of the king What character did Christopher Lee play in LOTR? Why was it edited out?-Ed | |
| Is the big sound from the big names? The best comes from the one-man-band companies, IMHO. Those of a sole proprietorship, where the artist can do as he sees fit. Usually the best value is also found in this type of gear, too. -Ed |
