| "new" Joni Mitchell album You guys are right about a few of the song titles. I recognize 2 but most are lesser known. I just counted 18 Joni Mitchell albums in my collection so in my defense I don't know the names of all the songs. I was in a buying frenzy anyway and didn'... | |
| I have my table now I need a phono, please help Take a look at a Phonomena, very flexible, sounds nice, very quiet, can be had used for $350 or so. If you're happy with that you can add the battery supply later. I'm using one now while waiting for a reference phono stage and it does nicely in a... | |

| from 87db to 90 db ? The answer to your question is no, unless you want to make major changes to them.Sensitivity is basically a function of the drivers and the crossover with some contribution from the cabinet. You could increase the sensitivity by making appropriate... | |

| Line conditioner - how much power do I need? Alex,The theoretical limit of class A is 50%, of AB push pull around 75%, but that is just for the output stage and ignores power consumed by the rest of the amp, so I used 50% as a rough guideline. Some amps will do better. I agree that a device,... | |
| Line conditioner - how much power do I need? Tube or SS doesn't matter. There are low power demand and high power demand devices in both camps and 500W is probably not enough for what you have.
