| Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon..... Sometimes I see a great post as this one and just want to answer!Sometimes I want my stressed mind to get easier for a minute.There could be more different reasons such as you've described such as to ask the question or to throw some joke. | |
| Best Live Albums? I've got a default for all live albums:Frank Zappa ones -- no contest! | |
| Low watt system for rock,electronica? Yes but only in clock radio. | |
| why do i lose center image when i use xlr cables? Yes,Reposition speakers. | |
| LP storage? What do you use? Ikea's Expedit bookshelves that are exactly 13"x13"x13" cubes that are perfect for records. | |
| recommend a good computer and digital camera? Once I've placed on 'gon to find any descent camcorder and received no responces but Cdc realy found the best clue "to photograph his or someone else's rig".I admire such creativity(Oh, yes with no irony indeed), but still spit on the TV screen wh... | |
| Are my speakers supposed to do this? I've no idea what's high-freequency DC(probably something brand-new in EE) but BAT has tendency to drain some DC at the output.Probably the same story with your pre which isn't neccessary because of bad tube... | |

| Best female manly voice? ...Not as low as Nina Hagen that also hits the very high notes as well... | |
| Soundproofing Hi-Rise Apt? The best solution is headphones. | |
| Best female manly voice? Perhaps Edit Piaf, but hard to find descent or restored recording. | |
| downgrade question Don't know of your speakers,but the sleeper product(s) I can recommend instead of Unico are Nikko separates Alpha and Beta.I suspect that these items will be upgrade towards performance and downgrade towards cost. | |
| Vandersteens without sock and surrounding poles? I can only imagine what's under the sock since I've only seen it on the picture at their web.I still have my Vandy's at my brother's house and if I make such experiment probably his wife wouldn't be so happy after all:-)... | |
