| Audioquest cables: replace the DBS Battery pack. Kid, AQ's DBS system is patented, or at least a patent is pending.And Audiofire, just because YOUR dealer (and, apparently, Audiofire5228, too) can't hear the improvements brought by the DBS system doesn't mean it doesn't work.. | |

| Good In-Ceiling Speakers?? I've been using a pair from Bay Audio for many years. I bought them at a retailer of high-end audio/video stuff after auditioning MANY. I recently moved them and discovered one bass/MR driver was scratchy. I called Bay asking about buying one. Eve... | |
| Re-biasing a CJ Premier 8 If you're about to spend a perhaps over a thousand dollars on tubes, spend a few bucks on the recent issue of 'Vacuum Tube Valley' that has MUCH info on new and old 6550s/KT88s/KT90s.A 2-amp set of Ei KT90s from The Tube Depot would be $560.. | |

| 16 ohm speakers: Pros & cons Snofun3: "Ohm rating is not an indication of goodness or badness, it's a measure of driver efficiency.A 16 ohm speaker will take more amp power to drive."Right, wrong, and wrong.Absolutely, nominal impedance is NOT a qualitative measure of a speak... | |
| Anybody Heard Tyler Acoustic Woodmeres? Kjl: "The Quad 988 does offer much. But it is missing dynamic contrasts. They also smooth out drums and tambourines . For instance, in a Tchaikovsky piece "Capricio Italien", there are many instances where the tamborines when hit are softened on t... | |
| Anybody Heard Tyler Acoustic Woodmeres? Other than lack of bass extention, what don't you like about the sound of your 988s? I have 989s and LOVE them. They play a little louder overall than the 988s and have another half-octave or so of bass extention and power. IOW, in the bottom 2 oc... | |
