| What are Mini Lp's I disagree with the information provided by your link, Brad. I have been buying Japanese CD's, due to their generally superior fidelity. A mini-LP is a Jap. CD that is packaged similar to the older "gatefold" vinyl LP's; that is the cardboard jack... | |
| MERLIN.....Thank You. Bobby, how are your parents doing? I believe that you had stated they were in an accident awhile back. Hope that they're doing OK, and that you also had a good show at the CES! | |
| Wife approval factor? I had a wife approval factor problem shortly after we married. The factor was that I didn't approve of the way my wife was acting...so I divorced her :-) | |
| Watts - Volts and Resistance As I recall, the Quad receivers from the mid '70's were only good for 20-30 wpc [max] into 8 ohms. Quad was a format disaster, and Quad amps were only produced for 2 or 3 years. You should be able to about double that power into 4 ohms, but bass d... | |
| sexiest sounding female vocalists? Mt10425, yeah, you probably saw her in the late 1970's. Absolutely adorable and young (born summer of 1962)! But WHAT A VOICE! One of the best finds of the Stiff Records lineup during the late '70's & early '80's! Stiff specialized in signing ... | |
| Best Way to Ship & Insure Small, High Value items? Trelja, thanks for your insider's point of view! Basically, the only way a Registered/Insured parcel disappears, is if the transporting vehicle is destroyed in an accident! | |
| sexiest sounding female vocalists? Sexiest vocals is Christina Amphlett of "DIVINYLS", self-titled CD with the song "I Touch Myself". Her phrasing and breathing techniques make her sound as if she's having multiple orgasms throughout the whole album!Best female vocalist is Annie Ha... | |
| Best Way to Ship & Insure Small, High Value items? Bigjoe, USPS Registered/Insured is a different creature than other types of insured delivery services offered by the USPS. The most secure way to ship, other than by bonded courier, or if necessary ARMED & bonded courier. | |
| Can all amps drive a 4 ohm load? You will definitely lose bass performance from the Maggies with this amp. | |
| Best Way to Ship & Insure Small, High Value items? As Hgeifman said, USPS Registered insured is the best way to send light parcels with a high value. I have shipped valuable numismatic coins and jewelry using this method. All of the box's edges are brown taped and USPS stamped over the tape and bo... | |
| UPS strikes again As others have stated, "acts of God, civil insurrection, riots, strike, or war" are some of the standard disclaimers that will void a contract. Essentially, the situation is one in which the party cannot perform their legal obligation due to unfor... | |
| tube manufacturing Yioryos, you state,"Technology gets better and I don't accept the theory that we no longer can produce equal or better tubes".If most cases, that is true. However, tubes are essentially obsolete except for specialized applications (radio frequenci... | |
| Discs you play again and again Ten Years After A SPACE IN TIME.Someone recommended this one (Dandylion Records?) as a reference CD. Every time I listen to this pressing, I cannot believe the fidelity, production, and lyrics of this CD. I have a British pressed remaster (1997) c... | |
| Worst mismatches in equipment: your warnings Anything Bose will mismatch with your ears! Sdatch, that's one of the parameters of Atma-sphere amps...you should use a higher impedance speaker. However, I've heard from many that Paul Speltz's "Zero-former" will cure your mismatch and give you t... | |
