| has anyone else experience this..... Fake Mullards? What's next, fake Badboys? Fake Tung Sol Round Plates? | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig Snafu No. #. Placing the speakers too far apart. Start with speakers about 4 feet apart and slowly move them further apart.Cheers | |

| Best beer A big shout out for Genesee Cream Ale. Assuming they still make it. | |
| Is the BAlabo BC-1 MKII Preamp the reigning King? Just guessing here, but perhaps the system is out of polarity. Lots of things have to come together for there to be gut wrenching bass. | |
| Is the BAlabo BC-1 MKII Preamp the reigning King? Live concerts. Too noisy and too much distortion. No thanks. | |
| Do It Yourself Hallographs One can't wondering if the Shakti Hallographs have crystals inside like the Mpingo discs.... | |
| Do It Yourself Hallographs It's a diffuser. It's a resonator. It's two mints in one! What was the name of the guy that demonstrated his Many Woods resonator thingamabob at CES? I won't even mention Mpingo discs. Has no one ever placed an ebony rod up against the wall? | |
| Directional speaker wires, what and why. The speakers are attempting to replicate the waveform of the audio signal. The in and out excursions of the speaker diaphragms are controlled by the amplifier. If the speaker cables are reversed the audio waveform is inverted. Thus it sounds like ... | |
| Do It Yourself Hallographs Oops, I totally spaced and forgot to put a smiley face at the end of my last post. How many thought I was serious? Show of hands. | |
| Directional speaker wires, what and why. Even though wires operate "AC" the actual audio signal, I.e., the electromagnetic wave, is not alternating and flows in one direction only - in the direction toward the speakers. Thus, since the conductor is not physically symmetrical, it will sou... | |
| Do It Yourself Hallographs It's infuriating when manufacturers don't provide sufficient information on their websites to facilitate folks knocking off their products without having to guess. Shakti Hallographs with their mystery woods are a perfect example of this lack of c... | |
| Wire differences explained common sense Cryo'd cables are better conductors than non cryo'd ones. Purer metals are better conductors, too. | |
| Tube amp power watts equivalent to Solid State? Tube amps if my memory hasn't gone on the blink have a higher dynamic headroom, generally speaking, than solid state amps, giving the impression of more power than is really there. IIRC many tube amps have a dynamic headroom of around 3 dB so that... | |
| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 I thought Jimmy Page said this is the first time the original tapes have been digitally remastered since twenty years ago. That would seem to suggest this will be a new digital remastering of the original analog tapes. Am I missing something? |
