Jul 17, 2003	Are there any receivers that have dual 12 inputs Sony TA-P9000ES, now discontinued. There are a handful of preamps with dual 6channel (or more) inputs but you were asking for receivers.
Jul 14, 2003	Why Veneer? Particle board (MDF, HDF) is more consistent and practical.
Jul 14, 2003	anyone ever build their own T.T.? I've built a few and many people have over the years. Pifalls? Define your principles and goals before you go.
Jul 11, 2003	Which components knocked you out on first listen? 1. The Apogee Duetta II2. The Revel Ultima StudioBoth were definitely keepers from the first note.
Jul 11, 2003	Pink Floyd fans, Limited Ed CD Hybrid disc AFAI am concerned, the MCH track is the only reason to buy this and it is reason enough.
Jul 10, 2003	New York City,,,,hello Invite us over. ;-)
Jul 08, 2003	Sonic Frontiers pre Line 2 :off or stand by I keep my Line3 (and, earlier, a Line2) in standby during the week since it is used every day, morning and evening. I turn it off on the weekend when I am away (and using another preamp).

Jun 25, 2003	Grading records. Well, sealed says it all. You cannot say mint without examining/playing the disc and that requires breaking the seal.
Jun 22, 2003	Signal degration over length, source vs. output ? Sonic Frontiers Line3. Output impedance 45ohms SE, 90ohms bal.
Jun 22, 2003	What's the ideal height for bookshelf speakers? That's fine. Assuming your head is not in a brace, its relationship to the tweeter will always vary a bit.
Jun 21, 2003	Signal degration over length, source vs. output ? I have a tube preamp with <50ohm output impedance as well.
Jun 21, 2003	Signal degration over length, source vs. output ? Actually, my concern is the harmonic change due to very long speaker cables rather than power or voltage losses. In addition, living with a 10meter run for one or the other, I have experimented with both and found my preference. Of course, I gener...
