| Am I nuts? Biamping question... I had a Yamaha pro setup for a while with JBL 18" bass cabs, 15" JBL mid cabs and a set of Klipsch LaScala's. I was running one of the big pro Yamaha amps (350 wpc), a smaller Yamaha amp for mids and a Peavey CS-1000 for bass. I had the 18" subs (... | |
| Tubes and forced air cooling ... Thanks all,To clarify the Levinson and ARC are also side by side with 2-3 inches on both sides and I only run one at a time. I did run them both for a while in a bi-amp arrangement ... I was very pleased but not to the point of running that setup ... | |
| 1 tube glowing blue? Cool ... I mean ... Hot ...I did some reading as well, I ended up eating up the better part of a day studying to process of tube amplification. Tubes are facinating to say the least. The use a various materals having variuos effects. I actually en... | |
| 1 tube glowing blue? I changed the output tubes in an older ARC VT-60 and had the same thing happen. I am curious as well. I had read online that whenever you replace the tubes in an amplifier you should automatically check and adjust your bias (which makes sense). Th... | |
| Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant? What happened to Dylan? One of the best CD's I have bought in the last few years. Can quite get myself to buy a Dixie Chicks CD but hope springs eternal. Ill keep my political views to myself and use the ballot box to exercise them. I still find ... | |

| Help with PC Audio Quality vs. CD Have you tried ripping straight into WAV with a different ripping program? I have used EAC and had the best result. I'd just try straight WAV and go from there. If it solves your resolution problem - maybe try a different lossless compression. If ... | |
| FLAC vs. MP3 for Sonos Network I would go with the FLAC format and create a folder on a PC where you can dump MP3's. You can convert "down" from FLAC to MP3 easy enough. I delete and add to my Ipod about every 2-3 months. I would go through my FLAC collection and select what yo... | |

| Mark Levinson suggestion please I hate to sound like an echo but I normally run an ML 23.5 and an ML 27 in bi-amp mode for my SS setup. I happen to think it's incredible. I am getting ready to upgrade the 27 to a 27.5 and get the caps on both amps replaced. It's going to cost me... | |
