| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables Yes sad to say Max is no longer with us but he left us with a good many designs enough to ensure Townshend Audio goes on for some time to come. The advantages of ribbon cable geometry are described and explained in a paper Max wrote some years ag... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy We had 87dB speakers here in my room with 20W Raven Blackhawk they sounded wonderful and played quite loud.

He demonstrated the range of the instrument with about half an hour of music, and explaining classical music, what it is like to attend a concert. ... | |
| FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare? oldhvymec-I forgot insurance, do you have your own C130 insurance? Given the size of these amps I was sure you were going to ask if he has his own C130. | |
