| Art Audio Jota VS Audio Note Conquest Please note that the Jota is not a parallel design. It uses one 300B XLS valve per channel, whereas the Conquest uses two regular 300Bs per channel. The Jota High Current (HC) with KR 300B XLS yields 24 WPC.I use the Jota. I wouldn't want to own a... | |
| Is Cary Audio still selling CD Players? Ditto, I love the 303/300. | |
| Tannoy DMT 8 vs Tannoy DMT 8 II Probably a very small change to the crossover. Suggest you call Tannoy engineering -- they will probably be nice enough to send you drawings of the crossover, old and new. | |
| Music Server now bane of my existence Thanks for the warning. I plan to steer clear of this technology for the time being. | |
| I HATE the song Salt Peanuts I believe it's meant to be humorous. Not worth hating, anyway. Not worth repeating, I agree. | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Dgarretson, please explain impedance matching. What values should I look for in my choice of amp with Bent TAP X? | |
| Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast Sales tax is regressive. I don't like it for that reason. Would prefer to eliminate all sales tax, except on luxury items. Of course, high-end audio would qualify as luxury. But not baby diapers, unless made of mink fur. | |
| Good bookshelf speaker? Do you need front- or rear-ported? | |

| Speakers that can be placed close to the back wall Front ported or sealed | |
| Speaker Choice B&W didn't impress me, either. Suggest you listen to some time-and-phase aligned speakers, e.g., Vandersteen and Tannoy dual-concentric. You should get a very fine pair of Tannoys for $10K, and they won't cause listener fatigue. | |
| advice needed on 1st real stereo system Welcome Newguy1:With inefficient (low-sensitivity) speakers, a tube hybrid integrated amp is a good way to go. Also, rear-ported speakers should sit at least one yard away from the wall to avoid boom in the bass. | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? Listening is unpleasant = one is unable to listen for long periods of time. | |
