| Speaker efficiency vs. power requirements Just to further complicate the issue... a 3 db increase doubles the power (wattage). To double VOLTAGE, it takes a 6 db increase. | |
| What's your favorite MFSL CD's? Queen "News of the World". Some of the tracks are flat, but half of the tracks are truly breath taking. "Get Down, Make Love" is worth the price alone. Interestingly, Queen's "A Night at the Opera" is a real turd. Sounds like a really flat and poo... | |
| Need advice on what is a good A/C enhancer. I highly recommend the Custom Power Cord Top Gun Power Block (T.A.S. Golden Ear Award winner...twice!) David Blair is a fanatic about build quality and his items are very reasonably priced. Call him at 847-329-8975. Happy Tunes! | |
| Question about CD 'Resolution' Who cares?! I know that on the surface, this might seem like an important bit of information, but build and component quality and circuit design are the import factors. Musicality, and sound quality are what we're all looking for. Read the forums,... | |
| Help on premium cd player I'm using (and love) an Accuphase DP-75. It comes REALLY close to analog. However, since you listen to a lot of classical, I question whether ANY regular redbook CD can get strings right! Sorry, EVERY high end CD player or transport/DAC combo fall... | |
| Audiophile's New Year Resolutions? My New Years Resolution is to attend the C.E.S/The SHOW in Las Vegas (Yeah...BABY!) I moved to Arizona in 2000, but couldn't attend in 2001 because I got dog sick. Already got a room and weaseled a C.E.S. admission tag! I'll be posting daily impre... | |

| New Virus starting to run wild Swampwalker...I did a live update late tonight (12/26/01), and this virus family was listed. FYI open the Norton Control Box, click on "Reports" next click on the list of viruses that Norton is protecting you against, click on "view report", then ... | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? Yeah, I remember those crazy Hills. I think that there also might have been dangerously high voltages on exposed elements of the plazma drivers...this was the reason that the F.T.C. banned these speakers (but maybe that was just the rumor mill B.S... | |
| Stones and Beatles MFSL CD's? Thanks for the info, Phild. Happy Tunes! | |
| Stones and Beatles MFSL CD's? What is the deal with the Beatle's "Abbey Road" that was supposedly pressed on a Japanese CD under license from MFSL? These were pressed several years ago. I've seen many similar listings on e-Bay over the last few months. | |
| What are the best tubes to use with the BAT VK75SE Run don't walk to your telephone and call Andy Bowman of Vintage Tubes Services @ 616-454-3467 (vintagetubeservices.com) This is the man to whom you want to speak! I've dealt with another "supposed Guru" whose inventory, knowledge and expertise of... | |
| Best Packaging in the Business Not exactly on topic, but, if you want to ship a piece of gear, certain UPS centers have a machine that makes self expanding styrofoam-like plastic bags. These are then placed into the box (or outer box) where they will swell and conform, wrapppin... | |
| Any good all wood component racks? No comment...just want to save this interesting post in my personal page. Happy tunes all! | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns; where does it kick in? The rule of doubling is my rule of thumb. Noticeable differences occur when you DOUBLE the list price of a component. Since this is a geometrical progression most people reach a plateau very quickly! Please note that this is a VERY crude scale, an... |
