Oh no, don't start politics in this stream. America was great when all the other countries had thier factories bombed to oblivion. You americans acually profited from WW2. Without paying for any patents for our inventions, like the jet engine, rad... 
Anyone else constantly curious about amps?
If I can afford it, I don't really want it. It's not logical, but I like to take time to ponder the pro's and cons. I only recently discovered SHARK (buy reading this sites comments). I planned to upgrade my current amp, a Yamaha AS 701, (somethin... 
Need to learn about Audio Research
I really enjoyed this dialogue. I too (soon), will be looking out for a tube pre-amp. It's all good information. THANKS. IAN.  
Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread.
P.S. I do not have a TT, and I never will. What a waste of money. That is how I feel. You see, I did not have a relitavely comfortable lifestyle, where I could accumalate all my property from birth to death. Some of us wandered and lost the thing...

I too am over the hill. I have been reading this site for less than 2 years. So do not know how splendid it all was. The low end market is not to be avoided. This is how we got to entry level in the first place. To encourage young and money-less f... 
The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!
In the past, A real talent may appear in a town, near you! He/She may cut a record and really make it big. Some may make a living. Today, a real talent may appear in a room near you! He/She may cut a record after school and not make big at all. O... 
Japanese Voltage.
O.K. I ended up, purchasing an Airlink transformer, even though I don't yet need it. It is the JACBS 1000, At the fair price of £400, delivered. Now, as it has two outputs, I started looking at a pair of mono blocks!  As I have time to accumalate... 
Japanese Voltage.
Thank you gentlemen, No-one posted a down side. So I concur with you, it's a reasonable motion. But I'm afraid the deal will have to wait until this time next year. as I decided to buy an SACD. And now it's final. Indecisive, IAN.

I found it, the transformer is  50/60 Hz.But cannot find Luxman's frequency.

Hi, the transformer is an "AIRLINK transformer" And its 500VA.    
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
I onced had a former work-mate. I helped him out on a job he simply could not complete. So he asked me to dinner at his home, with his wife. My eyes naturally turned to the T.V. where I discovered his "stereo" was located beneath it. It was an all... 
Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update
It may be a sad story, but it’s no deterrent. From the humble system I have today, In the time I have left, I too am aiming for a $1m system. It’s the personality that counts. Even knowing I am bi-polar, does not change anything. Like, I do not wa... 
SACD Players
Thank you for your considerate answer, I never rush into a compulsive purchase. I research and save the cash for some months before. I had a good experiance with SONY when living in London, they deserve a better standing. I am a recent observer on... 
SACD Players
Hi, I too am looking to upgrade to SACD. I'm not looking at home theatre, I mainly watch the news channels, and soccer. A sound bar will suffice. But I learned a lot reading this post. And as I'm saving to buy something permanent. It is the Marant...
