FLAT TV Panel hidding cords
I had an electrician install a clock outlet behind my flat panel. This outlet is recessed because it is intended to provide power to an electric clock that hangs flush against your wall. 
Buy LED, LCD or Plasma
I have a Panasonic TC-P50G10 hanging on my wall. The TV is great but if I could have spent $3995, I would have moved up to the Panasonic Z-1. It comes in only one size presently (54 inch) but it is lightweight and only 1 inch thick. The reason I r... 
Full Range Drivers
For anyone who is desirous of that coherence thing, I can recommend the horns I use. They are, of course, very efficient and they are utterly seamless throughout a very broad operating range. They are quite directional with only a 40 degree disper... 
Full Range Drivers
By one set of parameters your telephone is a full range driver. If you are looking for 20 to 20K range, you will not find a driver that can do it. I use a horn with a compression driver that extends from 400 Hz. to 14Khz. Below that I have a 15 in... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Guido - One of my symptoms is contentment. When I received my Rowland gear (all at once), I just hooked it all up and left it that way. I have never compared anything since. That will be two years in April.To be honest, I have entertained thoughts... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
I should be the envy of all of you. I use a Capri preamp, a 102 amp and a PC-1. I find that I am quite happy with equipment at this level and do not have to spend thirty, forty, or fifty thousand dollars to be temporarily satisfied. It is my since... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Well Guido, I asked about the sound wondering if it would be more like the Models 6 and 8 than the recent ICE equipped pieces. That would be a question for Jeff and he isn't available just now. So we shall all be called upon to exercise the virtue... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Guido - I was not at the show and have not seen any of these new items. Kelly told me the units at the show were not active. The dash lit up but the motor would not start. She attends every show, and this one in particular, as it was Rowland's 25t... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
I talked to Kelly at JRDG yesterday. No delivery dates have been established and output power is not even certain as yet. The units on display at CES lit up but were not powered. We are getting ahead of ourselves. 
Is Hi-fi getting more expensive?
I'm sorry, Tvad. Remember that you chose that time zone yourself though. It's 10:30 in N.Y.Anybody ever consider the homonym exploited in the Laffer Curve? 
Is Hi-fi getting more expensive?
If and when the trickle arrives, I suspect it will taste like urine. 
Is Hi-fi getting more expensive?
Barons and serfs, guys. That's where we're headed. The middle class that rose with labor unions has suffered as a result of their elimination. Manufacturers of high end electronics have to sell to barons because the serfs can only buy mass market ... 
Speakers for live piano performance
Yorkville Sound in Toronto. The Unity speakers would probably give you what you're looking for. Size and price might be an issue but they are pro sound gear and there may be a powered version. Your keyboard carries the potential to spike any drive... 
How do you drive 12 Ohm speakers?
OOPS!!! Looks like I found a way to tell everybody I'm no tech. Thanks for the correction, Ralph. 
How do you drive 12 Ohm speakers?
If you have a mismatch, wouldn't it be easy to just install a resistor in parallel across the speaker terminals to lower the impedance that your amplifier is seeing? Or use the optimal amplifier - an OTL.Conventional tube amplification has a trans...
