| cooling my Krell monoblocks Richard,Some film critics have interpreted the Krell as a metaphor for communist hegemony. Does your amp tend to image left of center? If so, take the wife and kids and run...Marty | |
| Sub for 2 channel music only setup Mjm,There really is one difference - deepest bass performance. A HT sub must perform well below 20hz to do it's job correctly, while a music only sub doesn't (as a practical matter) require such extension.I use a pair of Rythmik subs that test gre... | |
| My "Most Under-Appreciated Album": Cheri Knight I liked that Cheri Knight record a lot, but I liked the Blood Oranges' (Knight's old band) "Crying Tree" even better. Haven't listened to either in a while - I'll have to dig them out and cue 'em up again. I seem to recall that her follow up recor... | |
| Monitor amp. The Fender G-DEC amps offer a similar system. | |
| Monitor amp. Marakanetz,Got it. What about the amps for acoustic electrics? I'm not familiar with these, but I assume someone makes a product like this, no? It would also allow you to plug in (when you chose to) and sorta kill 2 birds.Marty | |
| Monitor amp. Doesn't your guitar amp offer this feature? | |
| McCartney Live? Chashmal,I'm not sure that Paul CHOSE the route you decribe. I suspect that his partnership with Lenon helped hide Macca's natural tendency toward excessively "sugary" songwriting. His post Beatles songs are probably a truer representation of Paul... | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? The singer from Romeo Void was Debra Iyall. She had an incredibly sexy voice but was, ahem....not the most physically attractive woman on the planet.My roommate at the time developed an intense crush on her after hearing "White Sweater" on the rad... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I bought 100s on the basis of an Ohm thread - I think it was this one. I'll pat myself on the back for buying and also thank the experienced members of the Ohm community for the good advice in recommending them to me.Marty | |
| Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV? IME, the picture quality is very good, but maintenance issues are real. You will go through lamps and (I was told after replacing mine) the color wheels have a pretty high failure rate, as well. Make sure that there's decent ventilation around the... | |
| Tonian Labs TL-D1 I've never heard this speaker, but I'm intrigued by the commentary here. I'll try to check 'em out. Since I'm going to be in Elliot's 'hood later today, I'll see if he can arrange a demo for me, then I'll report back here afterwards.Marty | |
| Hybrid vs. Straight Tubes Mechans' comment re: "tube output stage is critical, period" is probably fair enough, overall. In the case of the RS6, it's even more applicable. Speakers which have a spike in impedence in the presence range (IIRC, the RS6 qualifies - as does the... | |
| Your Top 5 Favorite Power Ballads Normally not my favorite genre, but Todd Rundgren is a master. He did a power ballad intensive record in the '80's called "Nearly Human" that's loaded with great examples. Videos from the tour supporting that album are all over You Tube. Check out... | |
| Oppo-Integra handshake problem I have a handshake issue with my Pioneer blue-ray/Integra AVR/Sony projector. Sounds like Onkyo (or their Integra kin) is emerging as the common link here in HDMI handshake problems.Marty | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? Walter,I like a lot of the Jayhawks' stuff, but I really don't know The Handsome Family (except by name). I'll check it out.As to Uncle Tupelo and spin offs,IMHO, UT's "No Depression" was THE seminal "alt. country/cow punk" record (and, since this... |
