| Talking Heads Remastered Heh.I believe I was typing, and believe it or not, I did read what you wrote. If you were referring to the 4 disc boxed set "Once in a lifetime" then I appologize as I don't recall the packaging. But if you were referring to the Brick as Paradales... | |
| Talking Heads Remastered Ben,Huh?I think the point of the collection is finally getting these excellent albums remastered into a form that audiophiles can appreciate. I don't care about the 5.1 mixes or the videos. But I'm not complaining that they are there. I find the e... | |
| Talking Heads Remastered Tom,Those two are the best but it would be hard not to have 77 and More songs about Buildings and Food. | |
| Anyone out there Jackaroe,Nice solution. I beleive the NAD pieces are L53 (2 channel) and L73 (5).I would love to get the main rig away from the TV, but that room has the best acoustics. Upstairs, we have a nice family room with great space but it would be hard to... | |
| Anyone out there Thanks for the responses. Unsound, Rgurney, actually, the danger of burning little fingers is pretty minimal and not my cheif concern. I just thought one advantage of an integrated would be getting it away from the boy.Rlew, sounds like you just w... | |

| Balanced amp for Bat vk5i... Although I am a happy user of a VK-500, I think that I would recommend the Plinius, as most bang for the buck. With plinius, you may want to read up on the differences between different Mk. versions of the amps before deciding. Disclaimer: I admit... | |
| MM cart. Recommendation I would consider the Linn Adikt. All around good performer in the MM zone. | |
| Any B.A.T. amp owners-love or not I've had a VK-500 for about four years. 2 years ago, on of the channels got zapped in an electric storm. Viktor responded to my emails personally and arranged to repair and upgrade the amp protection circuits for a reasonable fee. The turnaround t... | |
| New Wilco... Impressions? One should get familiar with Jim O'Rourke recordngs to understand why "A Ghost is Born" sounds the way it does. O'Rourke not only recorded a lot of these tracks but he performs on a good number of them. I recommend O'Rourke's last LP "Insignifican... | |
| $200 or less 8' Run - Zu WAX, AP, Singal, Others? Kimber 8TC. The old classic. Love it. | |
| friend is looking for good $800-$1200 cd player I still think the balanced Theta Miles player is a steal at less than $1000.00 used. Depending on your system, you can get the advantage of the built in analogue volume control and bypass a preamp. Highly recommended. | |
| Can Kimber 8TC be converted to biwiring? Yes. Any kimber dealer should be able to reterminate these for you. | |
| Upgrading: What to use with Dynaudio 3.3's? Audition a BAT 6200 amp. You can but a 2 channel version and get a multichannel version when you do the HT thing. Dynaudio's need high current amps to sing. Have Fun. | |
| Fuse for Tice Powerblock II Radio Shack, Auto supply stores, Hardware stores. Good luck.-Karl |
