TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE
Jostler, you are right and I stand corrected. Here is the real scientific explanation on why biamping effects sound. This came off the net if anybody is interested. When a current is pushed forward by the amplifier through the voice-coil in the ma... 
Best efficient Line Conditioner UNDER 1K
Msw26, correct me if I am wrong but a conditioner will only clean up noisy power. If you experience sags, a conditioner may not help as it does not regenerate or regulate the AC power. Are you sure a conditioner is what you are looking for or mayb... 
Bi-wiring mishap
Sounds as if his girlfriend should see a lawyer. 
TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE
Jostler, I respectfully disagree with your assertion that biwiring makes no sonic difference. I will attempt to explain why in my situation at least it does. I have a set of Martin Logan ESL's. If you remove the jumpers on the back of the speakers... 
Bringing back the dead?
In the early 1980's I bought an Oracle Delphi turntable and a SME tone arm. While I have changed cartriges a few times I still use this setup to this day and feel it is functions as well as anything available today at it's price/performance point. 
Bringing back the dead?
How about the origional GAS (Great American Sound) Ampzilla and Thalia preamp. Certainly some of the best the early 1970's had to offer. 
What s your latest buy? Happy with it?

Plinius SA-100 vs. Rowland Model 2
Gentlemen, I realize that we all love our tube amplifiers but before we attempt to sway someone we should attempt to answer his question. There have a few posts and the only one who has attempted to answer the question of Rowland Vs. Plinius is Re... 
Thiel CS .5 Woofers
I have contacted Thiel and was told I have to buy them through a dealer of which there are none local. I was hoping that someone who has gone through this may have replaced the Thiel woofers with something similar and more available. Since it appe... 
Marble to place speakers on?
Regarding purchasing your piece of marble. My wife suggested going to a cooking or kitchenware store. They supply marble for pastry rolling and it's very inexpensive. You can then cut to size with a tile cutter. Just a thought to save you money. 
Electronic Circuitry For Dummies
Why not take a course or two at your local community or 2 year college. Ya never know, you may hook up with another person with the same interests in audio as yourself. That's where I got started. Got a degree at the local 2 year school and gradua... 
Amps and Women
I think IMHO it may not have anything to do with sex and that God may have blessed some with better ears than others. As much as I love my audio I am afraid I may be one of the people he passed over. It has taken a long time to train my ears to ap...
