| Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication The comment by Cdc holds a lot of truth. When I first began practice in the early 70's, most health care was paid for just like your groceries. Consequently, market forces played the primary role in controlling the cost of the services just as it ... | |

| Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication Kltaki8.....I have been at this business since 1971 and have seen how the healthcare business has changed. We are basically a reactionary system. We in most cases react to sickness rather than being proactive before the fact. This is why we have b... | |
| Do amps sound better when left on for 30 minutes ? I agree with the idea that playing the equipment speeds up the warming period. Also solid state takes along time to get stable on cold startup. That's why I usually leave my solid state on 25/7. I turn my tube equipment off, but they too warm up m... | |

Some of the anectdotal post here a hoot. What I do know about hypertension is that gone untreated over time, it will most... | |

| Help a Newbie. Considering Usher Be 718's I had the Tiny Dancers and the one thing they demand to sound good is plenty of current drive. To get that in tubes you will have to spend at least 3k. I tried them with an Onix sp3 and found that the the Ushers just sucked the bottom out of the a... | |
| Class D question............... I have had the Nuforce ref9, Trends, PS Audio Treo, Flying Mole, but my favorite so far is the Winsome Mouse. Part of the reason lies in Audiofeil's reasoning. I have it matched with a pair of Silverline Minuets. They like each other very much. Th... | |
| Bryston SST, McCormack DNA, or Parasound Halo? I had the 718's and they can't be overpowered. They love current. I had them hooked up to a pair of Monarchy SM pros running in mono. They put out about 80 watts but have plenty of current drive and are very quick. Great combo. Of the amps you men... | |
| Squeezebox 3 As A Preamp? I have a little bedroom system where I run a Red Wine Audio modded SB2 directly into a little Winsome Mouse Class D amp and out to a pair of Silverline Minuets.....Great sound for the money. No need for a preamp. | |

| Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication Hi Andrew..I was wondering how many days you monitored your bp before the medication was prescribed? | |
| Logitech Squeezebox III Power Supply/Mods I have found that less if more in this hobby...I have a Redwine Audio modded battery powered SB2 directly driving a pair of Monarchy SM 70 pros into Usher BE 718 monitors. How much simpler can it get? Great sound. I have the digital mods as well a... |
