When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves
Larry,I think you need to relax. First, who said called him? I e-mailed him. He has an e-mail address and I used it. And yes, he did not respond. Want to see my e-mail? So much for the un-substantiated bullshit. I was inquiring about the 250I if y... 
I'm so confused....
I agree with Bob about HDCD. I had purchased a Music Hall CD25 as my first serious CDP, and it has HDCD. HDCD disks are wonderful. I now have a Dan Wright/Response Audio modded Music Hall CD25, which has a tube output stage. Great upgrade, will ke... 
When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves
Well, for one, his service could be better, that is what separates "good" from "great". I inquired about two weeks ago (in regard to purchasing an amp) and have not heard back. Matty

People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps
I have just started with tubes, I have two in my preamp stage of my integrated. Very satisfying sound. However, I do not think I would want anymore tubes than two. It does get expensive rolling. I have already spent $100+ on 3 pairs of tubes and I... 
Diana Krall - ENGAGED
No..No..No..Not ENGAGED, ENRAGED!She is mad that no one but her thinks Arnold from Different Strokes should be Governor of California. 
Best speakers for $500 or less
I have owned the RTS-3's, they were very good. Exceptional bass from a monitor. There was a pair for sale on here for $150 I think. Not sure if still available.Regards,PS - Also the new Epos minimonitor's too. Not sure how good for movies/HT though. 
How do you clean your speaker grills?
What about one of those tape roller lint brushes that you use for clothes? Or compressed air and spray it off (not with the grills on the speakers of course).Regards, 
I think I want a tube preamp
I have been doing some reading and the mini max does seem to be quite a bargain, would love to hear it. Two things to be aware of is that it inverts the phase and it has a high output impedance. These are not bad things, but just things you should... 
A real dumb Tube question
Only after havig sex with another tube.Don't regret posting this, it is how you learn. You should have saw the responses when I asked "where do tubes come from?"Anyway, my tubes(like other I assume) have two orange spots on top that glow, don't se... 
He said, she said
She: Honey, this is our bedroom. I would prefer a three way, umm, speaker that is...He: :>) 
SUB - Confuse?
So you are upgrading your sub for the sake of your wife and kids?Rationalization at it's best. :>) 
Neutrally sounding CDP with a good resolution?
I think the Music Hall CD25 is very good for the price. Get the RAM modded CD25 (Response Audio)and you won't be thinking about changing your front end anymore. It is a great piece.Regards, 
Known tube upgrades for Jan Philips 5814-A???
Just a follow up,You are not limited by just the above mentioned tubes. There are many other tubes considered very good value (alot less $). Do a search on Audioasylum under "5814" in the "Tubes" section. Happy Hunting!
