| An audio component you just can't let go Maybe I should stop hanging on to the past and just let go. Dual 1019 changer -- it seemed a marvel of design and fabrication for its time. Magnum Dynalab Etude FT101a tuner -- 3 meters and a digital display, sexy! Nakamichi Dragon cassette dec... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @stuartk Actually no. I did not try to listen to equipment touted specifically for good PRaT. I had little real curiosity for what I felt was just another marketing term. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Still prattling on about PRaT??! When I first read about music reproduced with good pace, rhythm, and timing, I assumed the system had elevated midbass and treble to emphasize drums, cymbals, etc. and an uncompressed dynamic range. | |

| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 I agree 15 amps is not a whole lot for high end systems. Better to feed your rack from more than one circuit, if possible. I wanted to have a third pin actually grounded where the outlet's third pin was not connected. Got an electrician who ran... | |

| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? The amp's class of operation could be a factor, e.g., class A, AB, or D. Any knowledgeable opinions? | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review This was the kind of review that got Stereophile started (by JGH) -- "This and the higher-powered P-L 700 have a sound that is characteristically their own: A rather fat, rich quality that one normally associates with good solid-state units of co... | |
| Bryston amp, pop sound at power down. I have 3 Bryston 7B ST's and all three give off a pop/crackle at power down, whether turned off at the pushbutton or due to loss of AC feed. Since it is the same for all three, I guess it is normal. While a bit disturbing, the sounds are not lou... | |
