| Which IC is more important? Did some mention hockey...? RGD, my favorite is "No autopsy, no foul." It's usually applied to Mick McGoo(n).Now back to your regularly scheduled program. | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low Patmatt, we seem to see this scenario a bit differently. From here it appears that Stereophile does "have the best intentions for those who keep their business afloat." "Those" being the manufacturer's who advertise in their magazine. The readers ... | |
| How many would be surprised? If the same rules apply to copper and silver as it does to steel thinner wire is more expensive to make than that of a heavier gauge. Steel wire starts with a common size stock and is rolled down into smaller and smaller diameters. The smaller the... | |
| Best WayTo Remove Grills On Hales Rev 3? When ready to put them back on use a credit card to reseat the "bead". Works like a charm.Gold or, better yet, platinum cards work best, though the platinum does lean toward being a bit forward and presumptuous in its delivery. | |
| DON'T ever do this... Oh, yeah. "Don't try this at home. I'm a trained professional."Yesterday, after much futzing around with my system in a new room everything fell into place. This was by far the best it has ever sounded! Then I said those damnable words, "Ah, but j... | |

| Close your eyes and hear the music ? For serious listening the lights are always down; low level mood lighting is better than total darkness. Something nice to drink, like a good wine or brandy, doesn't hurt, either. Has anyone else pick up on how much all of these descriptions sound... | |
| Best and Worst Product Names John_1, "buffy kit" is not such a good name when considering that a "buffy" is street slang for someone who trades oral sex for crack cocaine. | |

| Best Preamp for under $1750.00 Given the characteristics described a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 or 2 might be a good fit. The SF preamps are more analytic than lush. The price for a new Line 2 is just about the specified budget, albeit at the high end. The Line 1 is several hundred... | |
| Mixing new and NOS tubes OK? This approach works in the SF Line series. My Line 1 has a mix of 6H23s (2 pair) and 7308s (1 pair). Don't know how it works in the BAT gear.BTW, the 6H23s (aka 6N23) are from Upscale Audio. It's an especially nice tube for the money. | |
