| Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory? Mattybumpkin - when I read your post a different Professor came to mind as a picture in my head of Sean: Remember the professor on "Rocky and Bullwinkle" that they always went to for science questions. He'd open his closet to get the magic blackbo... | |
| SET amp hum problem Hey Howard- I believe the 2A3 tubes in those are direct heated triodes (someone correct me here if I'm wrong). Combine that with a 115 db efficiency rating of your horn speakers and you are bound to have some hum at idle. Given the smaller size of... | |
| klipschorns & cornwalls/ alk crossovers Exertfluffer - You can find more information about AlK crossovers for several of the Klipsch Heritage speakers which were designed by Paul here. You can also read a review of them by one reviewer on EnjoytheMusic site here. I personally did not ca... | |
| What other obsessions do you have? Wife, Motorcycles, Photography, Film, Dogs and Sex. Not necessarily in that order. I never mix Sex with the canine obsession, though have combined it with the others with some degree of success at times. It goes real well with my wife, but I would... | |

| Congratulations to Marco Sure Unclejeff. Sorry I don't have time to do a set of images that may do the invitation better justice, but as good as the Internet can show such things, you can take a peek at the Ad that Peter mentioned, as well as the invitation I subsequently... | |
| Congratulations to Marco Hey, thank you very much Peter and all!! I'd like to thank the Academy as well for supporting......er, oh,.......ah...Seriously, a big thanks for the words of support from all of you. And a very special thanks to my good friend Mike Klementovich a... | |
| Tom Waitts Where do I begin? I'm with you there on Eva, Warren! That woman could make The Back Street Boys sound listenable (ugh, what a thought though)! I do like Cole however and the recording's pretty darn good too with some great soundstaging. But definitely go for the gu... | |
| Tom Waitts Where do I begin? Hey Warren-If you like his lyrics, but the voice doesn't grab you, don't forget to try the cover albums mentioned in the thread, of which there are several excellent ones. Holly Cole's "Temptation" and John Hammond's "Wicked Grin" are both outstan... | |
| What's your goal in system setup? Type AHas the unrelenting need to categorize, alphabetize, neatly box up, and otherwise arrange virtually everything from music to interconnects to amplifiers, into a finite hierarchy built like an impenetrable stone wall that protects the sanctit... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? She was a spent piece of used jet trash, kept her mouth shut most of the time, made good bloody marys, and had a Chihuahua named 'Carlos' that was practically blind.Tom Waits "Franks Wild Years"The sun's going down like a big bald head. It's Shark... | |

| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... I don't know that 'logic' has much to do with it. Nor 'accuracy'. This is a highly subjective hobby. To some folks, 'accuracy' is everything and can be measured with an oscilliscope, a microphone and a sound-pressure meter. To others it's a far mo... | |
| What did your first "real" system consist of? It certainly wasn't high-end, but in the 70's when I was in high school and earning a bit of money during the summers, I bought myself a Pioneer Receiver (can't recall the model but it put out about 25wpc) and a pair of Advent speakers. My dad sti... | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... At the expense of being lumped into the "Whiner" category, I'd have to agree with Sean's point as well. I've got a stack of Stereophile issues from the past two years, and have subscribed, on and off, over many more years. I cannot recall any revi... |
