| the 4 ohm rating Some of the best speakers ever, such as the original QUADs and the Apogee Scintilla, have had impedence graphs that were all over the page. Looks like a snake that had been hit with a Tazer. We are talking impedences much lower than 4 ohms. | |
| In Dash CD Players R.I.P.? If you continue to fantasize while commuting by motorcycle, YOU may go the way of the dinosaur. Please be careful, I've been there, done that. | |
| high ac voltage destrucive or not? Sean - You say that the power company may rectify the situation. You mean they will convert him to DC? ;^) | |
| How Long do LP's last Davt - As to where to get more vinyl, what are you looking for? I've got a few hundred that I don't listen to anymore. (I went over to the dark side). Email me if interested. | |
| Only three manufacturers? Consider the source. Why should anyone give credibility to a statement like this in Playboy? | |
| Should we have an Audiophiles Anonymous "Music hath charm to soothe the savage breast". It's Valium with no physical side effects. Enjoy! | |

| Who's got the best user name? We used to have a "Cornfedboy" before he went over to the dark side. | |
| How important are transports? I can not disagree more with Scrith's comments. My findings are that the transport is at least as important as the DAC. It's not about the ones and zeroes, it's about the timing of the ones and zeroes. This is jitter. I updated from a Theta Data B... | |
| Foreign language songs/music I can listen to Edith Piaf in French, Ladysmith Black Mambaso in Zulu, opera in a variety of languages and greatly enjoy it all without understanding a word. Beethoven's 9th often has the words to the choral section of the last movement in German ... | |
| Couples therapy on the DK Design website Looks like satire to me. I certainly hope so. But then it's no more ridiculous than a sex instruction book by Mark Levinson. | |
| Differences between Theta data universal and basic The Data Universal is a modified Philips laser disc player. It has a high failure rate and many key parts are no longer available. If you get a working one (and it needs to be a Universal II) it sounds excellent. The Data Basic, on the other hand,... | |
| ARC LS-15 versus LS-16 From what I was told, the LS-16 has Infini caps, a removeable power cord and an HT bypass. Other than that they are the same. Some LS-15s have the cap update so sonically they should be the same. I own an LS-16 and I'm very happy with it. | |
| Will Magnetic Tape Eventually Go Full Circle ? Re. The EL cassette ran at 3 3/4 IPS. I strongly doubt that 30 IPS in any kind of cassette would be possible. Tape of any kind is a dead issue. | |
| Please Help Can't get rid of radio station. Could be worse. Some people pick up radio stations on the amalgam fillings in their teeth. |
