Dec 26, 2003	Preamp Deal of the Century Kut me to the Kwick Waltersalas!I am bored and often boring except to those who respond to the trolls.I have considerable experience with NOS tube-rolling and thus have amassed a sizeable collection of Telefunkens, Mullards, Amperex, Mazdas etc. F...
Dec 25, 2003	Preamp Deal of the Century Tubegroover, your advice is sage.Mark, your last post epitomizes the elegance of psychosis.Stiltskin, I have a few thousand acres of land in northeastern Wyoming in which you might be interested.Or perhaps a bridge connecting Brooklyn with Manhatt...

Dec 22, 2003	Apogee Duetta Signature: Optimum placement Muralman, what frosts you most?: that most Apogee owners ditched them or that the company went out of business?(you think these events might be related?). If, as you insist, that Scintillas amplified by the new Euro-norm class D amps represent the...
Dec 22, 2003	Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite, having become independently wealthy from the sale of internet-hyped factory-direct products, only a degree of remorse guides my posts. You tell me if I have anything better to do.
Dec 21, 2003	Apogee Duetta Signature: Optimum placement LOL Muralman. If Duettas are so forgiving when it comes to placement then why did Darrell choose to make this post? Is he an idiot or just plain stupid like the rest of us former Apogee owners?
Dec 21, 2003	Preamp Deal of the Century Clearly you boys don't know your Syrah from your Shiraz. Or your Burgundies from your Bordeaux.You don't think it's odd that Mick's creations are named after substances known to distort and seriously impair and distort aural acuity? Is this some c...
Dec 17, 2003	Preamp Deal of the Century Not bad Asa.Did you order yours with the tesla-coil option for maximum Hollywood retro-look?How's that?
Dec 14, 2003	Preamp Deal of the Century Well, thank heaven they're not directly heating their rectifiers.
Dec 14, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Calanctus, the Tripath Bel Cantos sounded bad on Quad 988s and Jadis Eurhythmies but not too bad on my W/P 7s. The HCA-2 and Spectron Musician II sounded very good on all transducers auditioned and startled me with their performance. For the money...
Dec 13, 2003	The best speaker you ever heard? The best speaker you've ever heard is the one you haven't yet actually experienced but most assuredly surpasses those you have according to those who know. Same with amps.
Dec 13, 2003	Preamp Deal of the Century Why are all these things named after wines? I look forward to Supratek's "Thunderbird" and "Mogen-David" versions. Or maybe a sober assessment of their real worth. Surely the "cannabis" editions cannot be far from development.
Dec 13, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Iseekheils, your moniker is so trippy I have to ask what it connotes. Are you seeking Heils for Hitler or lamenting the demise of the eponymous speaker? Or maybe an odd phonetic rendering of Ezekiel? Whatever the case you should definitely mod you...
Dec 13, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Rgcards, the B&O store here in Pasadena actually already had the Beolab 5s so I was able to audition them, albeit in a smallish showroom fronted by components heavier on form than function. But I was still very impressed much to my surprise an...
Dec 11, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Rgcards, the Bang & Olufsen store here on Colorado Blvd. will be getting the BeoLab 5 speakers soon and I will definitely listen carefully. I suspect class D amplification will find its niche with self-powered speakers and might thus redefine ...
