| What are the current "speaker trends" in your opinions? This is something I have been tracking and monitoring closely ever since back in 1973 when I rode my bicycle to audition all the speakers at Radio Shack. Back in those days they were all paper cones, wire, and magnets. Then JBL started using edgew... | |
| How many amps do you own? Well, let's see there's the amp in my iPod, MacBook Pro, Macbook Air, wife's cell phone, Comcast cable box, Herron phono stage, my cell phone, oh and six more around the house, then there's the Melody I use, the Aronov that's busted but can't brin... | |
| Best Tubes on Market today? If the transformer noise is physically coming from the transformer itself then it is DC offset and can be eliminated easily enough. You can try turning things off until you find the culprit, or just buy a DC offset eliminator. Tubes themselves are... | |
| Using some very long balanced Subwoofer cables. Wire makes all the difference, except when it comes to subs. Prior to building mine I was dead certain they would need quality wire just as much as the main speakers. First Duke said no, save your money. But then just to be sure, even though it wa... | |

| Opinions about Newvelle Records pressing quality? Here's the only quote above that comes anywhere even close to bashing digital: Even with all the problems they [records] sound so much better.

| Which Brand 5.1 Receiver & Model for under $400 & speaker suggestions? You have my suggestions. You read, but you do not comprehend. Forget watts. Forget multi-channel. Two channel integrateds. Go and listen. | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters I never cared for porters until one day in Winthrop tried their Bulls Tooth Porter. Freaking amazing. Turned friends onto it, they all loved it too. Even people who never liked dark beer. And this was VERY dark beer! But awesome!Spent pretty much ... | |
| I need some techy help in order a preamp--resistor values. Usually the problem in cases like this is being scared to solder. But this is a kit. You're building it. So call em up, tell em exactly what you're doing. Not like they don't get these questions all the time. Then whatever they say, which you want... | |
| Opinions about Newvelle Records pressing quality? Was this an unlucky anomaly? Maybe. Then again, maybe not. Pressing quality is a notoriously risky proposition. One of the very best records ever pressed, the Mobile Fidelity 45 of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms is also one of the worst quality ... | |
| Which Brand 5.1 Receiver & Model for under $400 & speaker suggestions? Funny. My first amp was the 200 wpc Dynaco ST400. Then came the McCormack DNA-1 at 150 wpc. Both solid state amps. Both separates. Next was the Aronov LS960I at 60 wpc. Each one better than the one before. Now running the best of them all, Melody ... | |

| Speaker Analysis for Armchair Critics He's just misunderstood. Probably to be expected. I mean its not like any of us will ever have his super sensitive auditory acuity, so how would we know what he's going through? Probably his intellect is equally advanced beyond us mere mortals, ... | |
| Towers vs stand mounts with dedicated stereo subs? Glad to hear about the Tektons, they are fast moving to the top of my list of speakers to hear, and maybe even upgrade to Moab or Ulf. I do not however think it a very good idea at all to put them on top of subs. You probably got this idea because... |
