Who was the best jazz guitarist ever?
FZ is the best everywhere not only in jazz 
How do you listen to new music?
I usually listen new music in the venue live. That's my #1 preference. Sometimes I purchase the plane tickets or jump on car to get to the venue. Then I can buy CD or download and listen mostly through the headphones. 
A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers
Kurt tank,I believe that the lowest frequencies you can get from upright double-bass and tum-tum if recorded with no overdubbing and filtering. 
Please help, single input, multiple outputs
They're called distribution amps that are able to distribute one input throughout multiple outputs.The proper source for that to shop is bhphotovideo.com in section pro-audio ->> distribution amplifiers. 
What Solid State Pre-Amp compares to ARC LS-26
I don't think that LS-26 has unity gain. Would you like to have balanced in/outs? What amplifier you're using? You can get away with MUCH smaller investment for new as long as both components will sound best. For unity gain give it or take McCorma... 
help me to understand the gain
i would replace preamp for McCormack with unity gain. one of my super-favorite is MLD as active in unity gain. perfect correlation indeed. 
Influence of DC offset on bias
and finally the 105's but only because they begin rolling off right at 20hz.Are you realy fenomenal or you've just measured SPL to make such conclusion? I still don't get which amp you've been trying to adjust bias? I've looked at the schematics o... 
Influence of DC offset on bias
A SS amp without autobias circuitry or stabilization of quiescent current faces these following problems also previously mentioned by Kirkus: 1. due to the age the parameter mismatch percentage increases.2. due to the temperature and other room co... 
Influence of DC offset on bias
Speaker sensitivity can only tag volume level difference of channels when you listen realy quiet. There also factors to mention such as stereo volume pot. Other than that it has nothing to do with speaker sensitivity. 
Scott 222 B tube amp
It's normally takes 3 min to 'fill up' caps. This much time I guess is needed. 
Influence of DC offset on bias
An auto-bias bases is simply using a reverse conductivity of diode. Depending on how large your bias current should be you choose the diode with the same reverse conductivity current. It's all in the parameter list. There are certainly more sophis... 
Vandersteen 5As...first impressions
Did they replace your AudioPhysics on your posted system?What's the most music you're listening?I've heard them doing great with orchestra and symphony but did not like them playing instrumental, rock and fusion. 
Scott 222 B tube amp
You need to be a-bit DIY to handle this amp. The cap banks that most-likely need to be replaced are not cheap and might cost more than you would pay for the amp, but $75 is a great price even for the partially functional unit. I agree with Mechans... 
Influence of DC offset on bias
Hifihvn, In transistors it's the same story only make plate equivalent to collector(assuming connection with common emitter). There's a purpose to adjust the offset so the output is measured the same across collector and ground on both opposite ju... 
Influence of DC offset on bias
Are you sure that you can play around with bias adjustment in SS amp?In most of the SS cases I would strongly recommend not to adjust.
