| What do you see as the downside of tubes? In regard to your item no. 3, (i.e. heat):Don't forget that in addition to the worries about kids or pets getting burned by the hot tubes, that the heat from the tubes may increase the ambient room temperature several degrees, to the point that yo... | |
| Mark Levinson 23 with Klipschorn As a former owner of the Levinson No. 23 amp, (a good stereo amp, by the way), I will state that my opinion is that you would be wasting the power of that particular amp with those really efficient speakers. Having a 200 wpc amp driving a pair of ... | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Interesting. I did not realize we were being graded on our posts now.So, are we merely being graded on our grammer and syntax, or does content affect our grade as well?And is there a winner to all of this, and if so, what is the prize?Or does the ... | |
| Are singers musicians? OMG, I just realised that given our definition, that, and I can't believe I am saying this, but Yoko Ono qualifies as a, (excuse me while I throw-up!).... musician.Man, does that leave a bad taste in my mouth!Yuch! | |
| Are singers musicians? The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000, states that a musician is: ...One who composes, conducts, or performs music, especially instrumental music.Therefore, in addition to instrumentalists and singers, bot... | |
| Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen I liked the first movie, so I am mildly excited to see it.On the other hand, I am more than mildly excited to see more of Megan Fox!;-) | |
| Animated Movies "Tripplets of Belleville" is pretty cool.Great soundtrack, and the movie has some great surrealistic artwork.Monster House is visually a great movie too, IMHO.(A kid's movie that is actually somewhat scary.)Most of the Hayao Miyazaki's films are p... | |
| Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II Well, I'll defer to Ejlif on the heat generated by the JC-1s, since I have never actually owned them. (I saw and heard them at a dealers, and they did not seem to run all that hot, (warmish yes), but then again, they were in a large air conditione... | |
| Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II I can sympathize with you. I use Lamm M2.1 monoblocks with my Andra II speakers, and they too get rather warm. (Not hot thankfully, but they do raise the temperature a few degrees in my non-air conditioned room. (Great in the winter, not so great ... | |
| Andra II speaker tilt/effective tweeter height I too have found that a good about of toe-in is required in my room as well. (Not quite as much as yours, Der, as my speakers are toed-in so I can just barely see the inside side panels from my listening position.)Question: What type of speaker ca... | |
| what temperature setting for how long? Set it on Broil for a hour and a half, and you'll have a lovely set of vinyl bowls!:-)Check the archives here and on Audio Ayslum, and they'll tell you how long and what temperature, (although I think it is somewhat around 180 degrees, give or tak... | |
| Porter Port WHAT DO U THINK? I too use the Porter Ports, and find them to be very effective. (To be honest, I had them installed when I had my dedicated lines put in, so I don't know whether it is the ports, the dedicated lines or the combination of the two that caused my sou... | |
| Andra II speaker tilt/effective tweeter height So, as a fellow Andra II user, I am interested in how you achieved the tilting forward of the speakers. (Did you back out the spikes in the rear to lengthen them a bit? Or did you place something under the rear spikes?) To be honest, in my room, t... | |
| Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor A friend bought one, (based upon my recommendation after seeing all the glowing reviews), for me to use in setting up his turntables. (He had two identical Basis 2500 turntables with Vector tonearms.) And while I had never used one before, I found... | |
| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? The Koetsu cartridges do have a lush mid-range that is intoxicating. They also are very quiet, with a deep, dark black background that is fantastic. The treble is slightly (and I do mean slightly) rolled off, especially on the non-platinum cartrid... |
