| Good percussion Try Brubeck Live At Carnegie Hall. Excellent recording of some solos by Joe Morello. | |
| Help. Another Preamp Suggestion Question Dave, I used to be a Polk dealer when I owned a store many years ago. If memory serves me, these speakers are a bit on the bright side. A tube preamp should give you some great sound and we used to demo them with a conrad-johnson. Lots of options ... | |

| 2ohms, 4ohms, 8ohms, which to hookup too? The formula is R1 X R2 over R1 + R2, so 36/12= 3 ohms. Try the 4 ohm or 2 ohm taps. Probably the 2 ohm will sound better. | |
| Best Line conditioner under $1000 used I use and am very happy with my Vans Evers. They are, unfortunately, rarely seen on the used market. The good news is that I use the "Unlimiter" on my power amps and the 14 outlet model for everything else and didn't pay $1000 for both of them. Ch... | |

I have a Nikon D70 and a 1911 government model .45 automatic which has had a LOT of custom work and sports a hard chrome matte finish and rosewo... | |
| Best Cd Player under $100,000 I assume that you meant to type $1000.00 and somehow the decimal got lost. | |
| Can we list the better labels? Chesky? Telarc? Don't forget that ALL Telarcs are recorded with the absolute polarity reversed. If you don't reverse the polarity, the top end is a bit bright and the bass is tubby and lacks definition, among other problems. | |
| Any WGBH FM radio listeners in S. Maine or Vermont Since the signal will be over flat land and water, I think it may be doable with a high enough gain antenna. Manchester, NH pulls in WGBH okay but that's only about 50 miles. North of Manchester, in the foothills of the White Mountains, it gets ba... | |
