| Digital transmission cables I'm partial to Stealth, myself. Don | |
| Tube pre-amps and Krell amps If you are capable of fixing a bent fly swatter, you should be able to do this yourself. You will probly have to remove the top cover and the caps in question will be near the input jacks on the Krell. Under no circumstances should you take it to ... | |
| Tight Bass The semantics of audiophilia (is that a word?) is rife with "borrowed" words like "air". Air really doesn't have a sound, except during our Florida hurricanes. Most 'philes know what these words mean in the context of this hobby but it can lead to... | |
| Music to make you laugh by Get the gold CD of "Bob and Ray Throw a Stereo Spectacular". It's fun and an excellent system tester. I don't expect most of you 'philes to be old enough to remember Bob and Ray so just trust me. If I recall correctly the CD is on DCC, which is on... | |
| Warm sounding ss power amps Duh! I should not be posting at 7:00 AM, before my coffee kicks in. After my above post, I noticed that you said POWER amp and I recommended a preamp. As Emily Latella used to say on SNL "Never mind". | |
| Warm sounding ss power amps I use the Audio Research LS9, which is not at all bright. There was one advertized on one of these web sites a few days ago for $750.00. That's a good price as retail was $2000.00. It has a remote and balanced inputs and outputs in addition to RCAs. | |

| Opinions of Hafler 9500 or 9505 Amp Sdcampbell: I'm using the 9505 to drive my Acoustat 2+2s. Haven't tried a 4B but I'd guess it would be great. | |
| Opinions of Hafler 9500 or 9505 Amp Contrary to the above post, these amps have nothing to do with David Hafler nor previous amps bearing the Hafler name. They were designed by Jim Strickland, who designed the Acoustat speakers and the Acoustat TNT amps. The 9505 is the same power a... | |
| Applause: Bummer Rather than being disappointed in the sound of applause, we should be amazed. Amazed that plastic cones, aluminum ribbons, metal dones, mylar sheets and the like, are capable of sounding so much like kick drums, bassoons, Steinway concert grands a... | |
| Replace 35" TV with something bigger Sit closer. I've never seen a projection TV that I could stand to watch. JMHO. | |
| Best CD Trans. under 1,500 A used Theta Jade at $1100 - 1500 would do very nicely. | |
| JBL Paragon Speakers A Paragon recently sold on E-bay for $43,000. | |
| James Strickland/Acoustat Paul, I agree as I'm using a 9505 to drive my 2+2s. |
