John Lennon, 29 years ago today....
It was 30yrs ago today, the world lost an ICON! Never to be replaced. Always to be copied. An original. He is surely missed. 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
It is not that to many women are purely intrested in your money, if you really have any. It is the fact that you assume that is all they care about. You assume that it is the woman and not the guy's ISSUE. And it does work both ways. Both individu... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
It seems the consensus here is that all women are "Golddiggers". Having 3 grown daughters I can tell you that simply is not true. Guys tend to asume it can't be them. It's because they are not rich enough or their car is not cool enough. No, it's ... 
New favorite VINYL Album?
RA RA RIOT's "THE ORCHARD". Great pop/rock songs. Excelent sound. Flat well pressed vinyl. Simple sleeve. Well worth the spin. **** 1/2 stars. Near perfect album. A group to watch! 
does a subwoofer kill stereo sound?
sounds real audio; I am with you. Subs exagerate the lower end. Watching a movie great use a sub. Listening to music, NO THANKS! Take a good/great full range speaker over a sub any day. 
Dedicated line
In the VTL owners manual they write, " To achieve the best performance, we recommend that a dedicated 30A line be installed for each amplifier, with a minimum of 20A required for each amplifier". My understanding 30A breaker, 10ga wire 20A outlet.... 
Buy tubes from Audio Research or not
This is why I did not buy ARC, the warranty! VTL stands behind their products 5 yrs and with none of that bull. That would have really pissed me off. Vtl also guaranties their tubes 6 months. And they do, I had a few replaced by them no charge, ju... 
New favorite VINYL Album?
the thermals's "Personal Life". Excellent album. I liked it so much I ordered all their older albums as well. It is amazing what great music you can miss if you are not listening. The vinyl is very nice and flat. Compressed at times. Maybe intenti... 
Thinking of going 2-CH from HT....Tube ?
Made the move from HT surround 7.1 dts/dolby etc., about 8yrs ago. Never looked back. Made the move to tubes 6months ago. Not bright or syrupy. But tubes are a commitment, unlike SS. Tubes are not for that faint at heart, I love them though. No in...

Does Bi-amping really make a difference in sound?
Kal; as my mother use to say, "there is nothing new under the sun". So why bother? Bob reynolds; great link. While I did not understand all of it, I understood enough to understand many of the advantages of bi-amping. I also got insight into bi-wi... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
WOW Magfan, not to much of a generalzation there. Classy, is a state of mind NOT of OWNERSHIP. But you obviouly have issues. For the record I have 10 cats and 3 dogs. Does that make me classy? To some yes, to others no. But most importantly, I DO ... 
Personal speaker evolution
Can't remember 60's, 70's and 80's. So, from the mid 90's forward, B&W 802's with center channel and 4 surrounds. Replaced 802 with 800d's and center and surrounds with the B&W signiture series. Sold all the B&W and went 2 channel with... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
This thread is why audiofiles have such a geeky reputation. If you need your audio system to turn on a woman your in deep sh-t to begin with. Having said that, cheap women like surround sound and classy are 2 channel all the way. 
VTL Terrific Support
Recordho. I was having a tube issue with one of my siegfieds. Luk was in NY. Some 90 miles away. He drove down to my house and checked them out. He was EXTREMELY gratious and happy to please. He could not have been nicer. 30 days later, your loss....
