| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? Wc65mustang, it's not just France, it's the entire E.U.! "Bush Bashers" [regarding economic issues] should compare GDP, CPI, unemployment, worker productivity, projected economic growth, and taxes of the American and the E.U. economies. I'm a regi... | |

| new tube break in My opinion regarding Tube burn in:24 hours- Noticeable difference72 hours- You're 90% there100-200 hours- You're homeThis is with the amp playing, not just idling with power on. | |
| SPL METER? ATI OR RADIO SHACK Go with the Rat Shack digital meter [I don't know if they still make the analog meter]. Make sure that the 9V battery is fresh, since a weak battery will affect your readings.Also, Rives make a frequency response test CD with two set of tests. One... | |
| Anyone ever modified a MP 1 Mk 11 Atma Sphere Pre Why would you want to? Rushton is right, though. The upgrade by Atma-sphere to the Mk. 3 version should result in a noticeable sonic improvement. I just had some upgrades done to my MP-3 preamp, and the results were very impressive! | |
| Interconnects for Nordost Valkyrja speaker cables Judy426, which came first, the chicken or the egg?! I have heard that the Valhallas are merciless in revealing any flaws within a system. I would think twice about using them with SS gear, or a speaker that is know to have a "hot" top end.I agree ... | |
| Interconnects for Nordost Valkyrja speaker cables Mapleleafs3, I have used my own ears...and I can tell you that Nordost Valhallas are OUTSTANDING cables. Usually, I take audio writers' opinions with a grain of salt, but when a very large number of writers and reviewers praise the Valhallas, I ta... | |
| Can anything beat Vintage Amps for the $$$? Don't forget that a key component of any tube amplifier is the output transformers [except for OTL's, of course!] I know that there are people who search for these "classic" makes of vintage x-formers, much in the same way people search for vintag... | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? Has anyone heard National Lampoon's "Radio Dinner" LP? Joan Baez is parodied, and you could piss your pants...it's just TOO funny! | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Geoff, reading your disagreement to my statement about "replacing the quartz module" let me clarify my statement with a direct quote from your website:Machina Dynamica reserves the right to use more than one brand/model to produce Clever Little Cl... | |
| could someone compare krell vs. classe audio ? Mapleleafs3, lighten up, dude! You've been a member here for one month, no threads initiated, no feedback, and your multiple posts sound like regurgitated dogma! In addition, some of your comments are abrasive and border on obnoxious. Agon long ti... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? So Geoff, you state: "the Clever Little Clock does not directly affect the audio signal in any way - not the house wiring, components, cables, speakers or acoustic waves in the room."And, according to your website:1) you can substitute different q... | |
| Everything Bach ever wrote Great! You Brits get Bach, we Yanks get stuck with Stern! Not fair! | |
| What does keycode punched mean? It's called a "cut-out". They also used to do the same with vinyl LP's. It's a way that record companies discount overstocked CD's. By intentionally "damaging" the product, it becomes a factory second, and can therefore be discounted. The CD or LP... | |
| Crazy Downstairs Neighbor Jeff, if she's blasting music at 5:00 AM, in most communities, that considered to be "disturbing the peace", if the sound is loud OUTSIDE the building. Most apartment leases have a clause prohibiting loud noises or music in the "wee hours". Drivin... |
