| Impotence Question Are you from the land down under Joe? Cause I think you must be speaking some of that Aussie slang now. Just the thought of an 'accordian' is like to make me crack-a-fat...at least on a good day! Marco | |
| Impotence Question Looks like Apple computers have taken a clue from the Audiophile community for once! Check out their new edition of the iPod!!!Marco | |
| New Prima Luna Amp In Distress / Me Too I'd agree, check with Kevin. It sounds like one, or more of your output tubes may have bit the dust. If so, no big whoop...it happens...especially on modern-made Chinese and Russian tubes. I have had brand new tubes go bad before. The (regular) po... | |
| Impotence Question Actually, I carry the big stick. My S.O. does not speak all that softly. I prefer the box I live in to cardboard, but I like my wife's squeeze-box best of all, though i can't live there. I do enjoy the visits though. I'd like to use the same conta... | |
| 50ft lengths of speaker cables,suggestions? The sheet rock is already up so this will be fun. Ugh, that makes for quite a hassle. Do you have to undergo an electrical inspection for your permitting process? I imagine if your drywall is already up it is past that point. The reason I ask is t... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Not to trying to be a know it all, but the John Cage piece discussed is actually 4:33 and I find it quite lovely....And what a difference those eleven extra seconds must make! Ever since I thought to mention that tune this morning I can't get it o... | |
| Impotence Question Did'nt I read somewhere that bacon grease makes for a good contact enhancer? If I did that "Strange Fruit" camo'd 4th system hanging from the ceiling like you suggest, it would soon become an audio-pinata when my wife found out what was inside. I ... | |
| Impotence Question I think the Who's dude was cranking his tunes pretty loud too:Well the kids don't eatAnd the dog can't sleepThere's no escape from the musicIn the whole damn street...or maybe tuning his crank?I do have three full systems and I do believe my wife ... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. At the end, there was a dead silence of 3 to 5 seconds before audience applause. 3-5 seconds?! You call that a "pause"?! Check out the seldom performed (especially on the radio) piece by John Cage titled 4:22. In it an entire orchestra takes the s... | |
| Impotence Question Viridian - you slay me! Don't mind if i do:Tripper - calm down dude...you haven't called 911 yet have you? No tubes in this system...this is really my WAF system and I'd certainly admit there are a few compromises. Nevertheless, it sounds purty da... | |
| CD to Apple Lossless, or CD AIFF Lossless? Customht makes a very good point. Why bother? Apple Lossless is a fine format. Should you ever require converting AL files in the future there is software that does that. If you stick with Apple / iTunes there would never be any reason to. I truly... | |
| Flattening warped lp's with Seal dry mount press As an addendum to my post, here is one source for some of the dry mounting supplies I mentioned. They don't seem to have the temp indicator strips, but I like Albert's idea better anyway. The presses themselves can be had on eBay at any given time... | |
| Flattening warped lp's with Seal dry mount press Interesting concept. I know a fair bit about dry mounting but don't know if any of the same information may apply to flattening LPs. With boards and paper it is always good to use a heavy, flat steel plate immediately upon removing the hot board f... | |
| I need help selecting a tube amp At 117db sensitivity the world of tubes is WIDE OPEN to you. Everything from flea-powered SET to the more muscular Push/Pull and Pentode designs may work well with your speakers. From the wide variety of your programming, and given that you may be... | |
