| Ethics of last minute auction "poaching" I don't know how pervasive this is, but the few auctions that I've been involved in (or followed for that matter), the winning bid was no bargain. On items that can be had new I've seen people bid more than retail, and then pay shipping. No warran... | |
| Leave Tubes In Standby Mode or Not? My Audible Illusions pre has a standby mode which cannot be turned off short of pulling the plug. It is my inderstanding that the trickle of current actually extends tube life since there is less power-up/power- down stress on the tubes. Don't kno... | |
| Win a power cord. P.S. The buses are called "Da Bus", not "Da Cord". Don't want to be too obtuse. | |
| Win a power cord. Kev, no connection to your noble efforts but what about "Da Cord". If it's good enough for buses in Hawaii... | |
| Room or Speaker what s more important? Duke, a couple of those honking SoundLabs in a closet could be a very interesting proposition. Kind of Stax to the nnnnnth degree. Add floation for the sensory deprivation effect and we'd really have something. ;-) | |
| Where do you guys buy replacement tubes? Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services. Top notch. | |
| Solen vs Hovland caps Hovlands, man. The only way to fly. | |
| Best Reagae CD ? Hi, Hotcorocket. I've wondered about your user name. Is there a Reggae connection, or is it romanji for Hot Croquet (nihon style of course)? | |
| Best Reagae CD ? Intesting timing on this thread... the last thing I played late last night -- well, early this morning -- was "Exodus". I hadn't listened for a while and forgot just how good this piece of work is. As good as anything in any genre. Also, check out... | |
| Top 10 TV Shows Corn...you forgot our L.A. riots. My second riot in L.A. I held off on this, but... the best TV ever! I said it then, I'll say it now. Great TV! Better yet if you lived here. Had the wheels stolen from one of my cars (parked in the driveway while ... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Redkiwi... for the light/rigid approach seek out some of the older Target racks -- small, rectangular designs. Most of these also had spiked top shelfs for tunrtables and spiked legs. It occurs to me that if one simply replaced the old wooden shel... | |
| Top 10 TV Shows OK, Dan. Now you've gone and exposed me. | |
| Inner Sound Eros Experiences Audio-K... this is the old LIAR concept (Listen In Another Room). As an esl owner I have found this to be very effective (have used it over the years with ribbon designs as well). Never really thought about *why* it works, though. Good post and go... | |
| Will tubes rock? Pinetop, what Spicas do you have? I would concur with the Rogue monoblocks. Also, VAC PA160 monoblocks are an excellent value on the re-sale market if you can find them (I prefer the MkI's to the MkII's). Also check out the Mesa Baron -- maybe the... | |
| Top 10 TV Shows Dug, what about "Speedvision"? ;-) |
