| Kenwood L-09M monoblocks,........... worth fixing? One of the all time best bass amps. Fantastic for subs. Kind of "dated" sounding for full range. Don. | |

| A search for great cables for electrostatics Using Tara Decades with my Acoustat 2+2s. Very happy with them. Don | |

| Audio Alchemy transport problem I used to have a 1.1 - great transport! If I'm not mistaken, the display on these critters was sourced from Sanyo. If so, that would simplify things. You may want to contact Dusty at Channel Island Sound to confirm this. He would definately know. Don | |
| balanced cables I've been making balanced cables with Mogami Neglex 2534 mike cable for many years and it's great. Most recording studios use miles of it, so chances are that your music has been through it before. Don | |

| Two subwoofers?? I'm using a Legacy Pacemaker (2- 15" drivers with seperate enclosed 175 watt amps). One driver is left cannel, the other is right. There is no summing network to screw up the sound. -3dB point is 16 HZ. Works very well for me. Don | |

| Need Some Advice About Indoor Antennas Buy an American flag with a hollow fiberglass flagpole. Slip the "whip" antenna inside and mount it outside. Nobody will dare tell you to take down an American flag. Shows your patriotism at the same time. Don | |
| Balanced Amps at a reasonable price? The Hafler 9505 at 250/channel for $2200. Available from Harry at HCM as "B" stock for much less. |
