| The Plangent Process playback system? Huh? Im one of many firm believers in Plangent Processing. Its been used on live Grateful Dead recordings since at least the 1973 Winterland box set released in 2008. That was a ¼ two track tape recording. Theyve used it on their annual box sets, a... | |
| old Audioquest cables review I've been running an 8' pair of Midnight bi-wires for 15.5 years. Have nothing to compare them to. I'm sure there's better, but I've got my money out of them. They cost $470 in 1998.There are a four of the eight bi-wire ends have cracked insulatio... | |
| led vs original bulbs I'm considering purchasing a vintage Marantz and also wondered what I'd do. If any bulbs needed replacing, I'd replace all of them with original bulbs. Reasons for bulbs: Original configuration is retained - some LED conversions require modificati... | |
| How long do B&W 800 series speakers last I've had my N802's since Nov. '98, the first pair my dealer sold. Initial poor packaging issues from B&W resulted in both tweeters being caved in. It took a week or two before the dealer could replace those elements at my house.Since then, I c... | |

| PS Audio Power Plant Premier THD Output Results A few more thoughts...The design of the PPP is such that the THD coming out in most cases will not be higher than what is going in. The exception is if you had extremely low THD on your mains.The regenerator converts the AC to DC and then uses a D... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant Premier THD Output Results Right now my mains input has 1.8 - 1.9 THD and the PPP improves that to 0.6- 0.7 THD. Occasionally I've had THD main input around 2.3, but the output THD is always the same. | |

| Pwr Cord Upgrade for PS Audio Pwr Plant Premiere? I tried the PSA's Statement, Plus and the one below Plus on my PPP. I heard differences in all cords and settled on the Statement. The %THD from the wall is 1.5-1.9 in my house and the PPP outputs %THD 0.4. Relax, have a Sam Adam's Imperial White ... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? After 10 years of static, yes. I have a c-j PF2 (Alps pot) that doesn't have a remote. I couldn't afford the best model with one at the time. I didn't have a remote before, so how could I miss something I never had. That was fine for years until I... | |
| Your First Concert was..... ELO, Deep Purple 11-Dec-1974. Dio was scheduled to open the show and cancelled at the last minute. $6.50 got me a dozen rows from the stage. Eldorado and Burn were the tour's featured albums.A cello blew up during ELO's show. Ritchie Blackmore cam... | |

| Proper loading for Benz Ruby 2 I used 475 and 825 with my Xono and Ruby 2. I'm not sure which I settled on since I replaced it with different preamp with a phono section.I found 1k ohm to bright and below 475 the bass gets too loose. Good listening!Relax, have a Kasteel Donker ... |
