| Need Advice on Downsizing :- John, I'm a fellow technology victim as well. Brutal downturn has had far reaching effects, the "tech wreck" of 2001 will be remembered as a slice of history best forgotten. I started up a company to address the semiconductor intellectual property... | |
| CD Player to match with ARC and B&W 802 Martix YBA makes digital closer to analog than most players in it's class | |
| Need help with analog system choices Taz, a drink is never a bad idea. Cheers. Yes, LP's are far more musically satisfying than any digital front end I've heard. LP's is making love, digital is having sex. Good analogy, have another drink and read on.There are many good turntables in... | |
| Power Strips I had the same problem when I put together a HT. Rather than use a power strip I cut out some of the gyproc wall directly beside the existing plug and ganged together two more electrical boxes. You end up with six outlets at a cost of $10. All you... | |
| Tarbishaw is back best pre amp for my system. Sean, I agree with you disagreeing with me. Boy am I confused. I was referring to re-tube costs being insignificant and the number of tubes will not dictate the quality of the preamp. If preamp A has 2 tubes, and preamp B has 4 tubes, you cannot s... | |
| Step up device or new cartridge? Huh, I came real close to swapping my Lehmann Black Cube for a BAT phono stage to use with my VK30. I guess I should be glad I didn't go through with the swap. You could sell your BAT phono card and get a higher gain outboard phono stage like the ... | |

| Tarbishaw is back best pre amp for my system. I know, I know, I've already stated my opinion but figure I'll get the debate going here in the forums. The number of tubes in a preamp is irrelevant; the tubes are inexpensive and last for at least two years before they need to be changed. Hell, ... | |
| Speaker cutting out at Med/High levels help If I had to guess it's possible you have a loose connection somewhere in the speaker, either where the wire connects to the driver or at the crossover. My theory is, as you crank up the volume the vibrations in the cabinet cause an intermittent sh... | |
| Problem with FedEx Ground Shipping? I play hockey with a guy who works for FedEx, interesting from an insiders viewpoint. Although you and I see no difference between overnight delivery of an envelope and shipping a box using their ground service, they operate as two seperate compan... | |
| Amp recommendations to drive Martin Logan Prodigy? I've been through many amps, the BAT VK500 drives my ML Quest Z's very easily. Terrific amp that can be had used for ~$3000. | |
| Tweaks now THAT'S funny. well done Kelly. I often think about your comment "you're not a tweak unless you rent a ditch witch for the weekend" and laugh my ass off | |
| female needs expert advice Sean, the Classe amp used Motorola MOSFETS (although you can't tell by looking because Classe go to great lengths to take the markings off). Each FET was tested and matched before being soldered on to the PCB. As you know all output devices have t... | |
| Newbie needing experts' advice Room dimensions and how it's furnished will help us help you. Source components are/will be? Does WAF imply smaller monitor speakers, with perhaps a sub hidden away somewhere? If it does, you'll need some quality stands that'll set you back ~$300 ... | |
