| Tenor Audio No Howie, I am talking about the power output tubes. These are the 3 nipple 6C33C's. I heard that they had a relatively short life span, due to the design of the Tenor circuitry. | |
| Tenor Audio I had heard that Tenor amps chewed up their 6C33C power tubes very quickly. Does anyone know if this is true, or just bulls**t? | |
| What is " lowball" I would NEVER list an item with a firm price. Why limit your potential market! Everybody likes to haggle (remember the marketplace scene from "Life of Brian") and feel like they've saved some money...it's a psychological thing! Sellers should allo... | |
| know of a great audio test CD? Are you looking specifically for a "test disc", or for a CD that has outstanding fidelity to demonstrate the capabilities of your system? | |
| Hand shaped single CD holder.Please,help to find. Here's a gizmo that may help. A few years back, I bought a gift called "electric bartender", or "electric waiter". It was a plastic gloved hand, palm flat, fingers upright, thumb extended, with a round black plastic base. You would put a drink gla... | |
| Hand shaped single CD holder.Please,help to find. Bigjoe, so that's why gatefold albums were so popular! | |
| Who hear the Hyperion at the CEs this year ? What Hyperion model are you talking about? Obviously, not the Rockport Hyperions! | |
| When does the law diminishing returns kick in? Rule of doubling!My opinion is that a quantum leap in fidelity will result when you double the price (MSRP) of a piece of gear. As you can see, this is a geometric progression, and not a linear one ($500 to $1000 to 2000 to $4000 to $8000, etc.) M... | |
| What can you sell? Just don't try to sell substances that one smokes or ingests for the enhancement of listening pleasure :-) | |
| Will Magnetic Tape Eventually Go Full Circle ? Re. Yeah, I remember El-cassette! As I recall, the cassettes were about the same size as today's VHS cassettes, and I'm sure that some of the VHS tape technology derived from this extinct format.There were three advantages to the El-cassette vs. regul... | |
| Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004 Actually, I never do any serious listening on the first two days of the CES/The SHOW, allowing for proper setup, tweaking, and "burn-in" of the gear. The improved fidelity after the first two days can be quite noticeable!! | |
| sexiest sounding female vocalists? Timf, good one! I thought that you MUST have been cranking your Bose Wave Radio, until I read the punchline! | |
| WAVAC With Avantgarde? Just curious...why do you need 55 watt monoblocks to drive the Avantgardes? With the efficiency of these speakers, isn't this overkill? | |
| Non-magnetic Stainless Steel? Riffer, thanks for those URL's, and my education! I only have had experience with stainless steel used for other than electronic purposes. I collected knives at one point, so I'm familiar with various types of steel. I checked, and all of my stain... | |
| MERLIN.....Thank You. I, too, was involved in a major accident many years ago (10 days in ICU, 5 months total hospitalization, and another 4 months of rehab). I know it's tough, but hopefully, things will rapidly improve. May your next New Year's 2006 be a much happier... |
