Paco De Lucia
That's a tragic loss and the news comes as a bit of a shock. Was just listening to Friday Night earlier this week... Irreplaceable. 
Vintage Cassettes: Direct Drive, 3 Heads: Sendust
Les, thanks, that does begin to jog my memory ;) 
Vintage Cassettes: Direct Drive, 3 Heads: Sendust
Among the very best sounding cassette decks ever made were the briefly produced JVC "Super"-Digifine series (NOT "Digifine") 3-head models (I had the TD-711, the next one down from the top of the line). From my inquiries with some repair techs, th... 
CD Player: Digital-in that passes to digital-out
Oops, looking again, I thought you meant passing the signal thru to the DAC. However, if you're looking for it pass thru to the spdif out, I believe I would still start with looking at the 851C. I would contact Cambridge and see what they say, if ... 
CD Player: Digital-in that passes to digital-out
Cambridge Audio 851C. Go to Audio Advisor, look up the 851C and on that page click on the icon for a tutorial video. See also the 850C, the 851C's predecessor. You have your choice of formats of balanced digital input, coax, toslink (I think) and ... 
Better when it rains?
The effectiveness of your home's ground is in part a function of basically having most, if not all, of the right chemical elements (some 80+ different ones) present in sufficient amounts in the soil where your ground rod has been driven. But, it's... 
2 way isolation with power cords?
Not sure about the MIT's, but if you're looking for some, I know all the Alan Maher design (AMd) PC's do...Alan P Maher on facebook, you can send him a fb message to inquire. He doesn't delay on responding. Good luck. 
Tweeter height...align with ears?
There is an old rule of thumb that is said to apply only to conventional dome or cone tweeter/midrange pairings and that is to put the tweeters just a little above ear height. However, the reason for that advice has little or nothing to do with th... 
Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer
Alright Johnny, looks like something like that may be my best bet in any case, actually. 
Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer
Oh...ok, I think I'm beginning to see where you're coming from. That may be an angle I didn't consider well enough from the start, my bad if that's so...not trying to muddy up the waters for anyone... I'll see if I can't be a little more careful a... 
Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer
Toddnkaya, was unable to look up anyone by the name of Mountainman on Agon. "Quad Man" only seems to show up as Quadman, but there no posts associated with that member. The fact is, I can't recall seeing any posts about any wavetouch products by e... 
Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer
Yes, really. That's just my opinion on them so far...why, did I ask anyone to buy them? 
Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer
There's probably no way for me to be emphatic about this without coming off as just a kook (which anyone could argue I am, but that's beside the point!). But, I have been kicking around the new-speaker can myself lately. My current 3-way towers bo... 
Sloppy but Famous Contest
Martykl's comment above echoes my experiences with Leo Kottke, as well...on disc or live. 
Have Good DAC- Sony DVP-S9000ES As Transport?
The odds seem good that you have what you may need, but to verify I would try to find out from your seller exactly how many mods were done by each company and then how many of those could be said to influence the transport. If he does not know, th...
