| May Day May Day I don't remember the the brand, the folks bought me and my little sister a record player and we played the crap out of a bunch of early '60s kid's records. I also remember, opening the thing up while it was plugged-in and getting my fingers burned... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Digital-only OTA braodcasts would be tough one for the radio stations to swallow since just about 95% of their listeners listen while driving. Dead silence wouldn't cut it for most drivers, and buying and retro-fitting digital receivers to million... | |
| How do you pay? Why? Also, I much as I dislike PayPal fees, I still prefer PalPal for the reasons stated above by Swampwalker. When I sell something, I don't put the " . . . add 3% for PayPal" in my ads. In fact, I'll even go as far as to state, "No fee for PayPal". T... | |

| Black Gates - Standard vs FK/Non-Polars I replaced all the electrolytics in my old Threshold SL-10 preamp with Blackgate Standards, and was totally blown away with how good it sounded after just a little break-in time. Of course, I was replacing 25-year-old dried-out electrolytics with ... | |
| Morph The Cat-Bass Notes Hay guys, this thread is getting a little out of hand. Rja, I wouldn't take what Audiofeil says personally. He's just letting all of us know that he doesn't like it. What it boils down to is that some folks like Morph and some don't - but isn't th... | |
| Morph The Cat-Bass Notes I'm not sure what Audiofeil means when he says "It's a poorly mixed recording", but I know that I'm enjoying the music of Morph the Cat. Anyway, who knows, maybe I have a "tin" ear and Morph is actually a piece of crap recording. | |
| Crossover ? Passive Vs. Active I'm running my two-way Apogee Duetta Signatures with a Marchand XM9 active crossover. One thing you always have to be concerned with when going to an active crossover is that you can smoke a tweeter or midrange driver fast. Remember, once you go a... | |
