Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD
Amused to Death, since its release, has been used at shows and in stores, by many folks, when demonstrating systems. I like it musically, and technically, as, it has it all. I am a huge fan of Waters, P. Floyd ( since their beginning ) and always ... 
Correct Way to Connect an EQ in my Hifi System ?
imhififan, that should do it, if it loops it. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Correct Way to Connect an EQ in my Hifi System ?
Tommy, I have looked at the manual and read some blurbs on the Marantz. I would contact Marantz technical support. I do not think this has the typical " tape monitor " loop as yesteryear, this is why I suggest contacting them. A true tape monitor ... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
kosst, glad you heard them. Lascalas used, with mods, tweaks and updates, are much less than 8K. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Horns: Why don't they image well?
Mapman, is there a Klipsch Lascala series iii ( 3 ) ? I cannot find anything about it. Kosst, I suppose you brought this thread back from the dead. I am glad you got to hear a pair. Did the Lascalas you heard share the room with other speakers ? T... 
Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD
I disagree with the comment that Amused to Death sounds disjointed. Compared to Hitch Hiking, there are more moments of " loud and soft ", but this is true Roger Waters. Which is better ? Apples and oranges. Beck and Clapton were left to do whatev...

NuForce STA 200

Kenwood KA 8100 Int Amp question re: phono stage
The best way to connect the Kenwood into the Audio Research would be to use a tape output / record output of the Kenwood into an input on the preamp. You bypass the volume control and a gain stage of the Kenwood. Enjoy ! MrD. 
EQ for hifi stereo

Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...?
I have had my Rane in the closet, until recently when another poster on another thread mentioned he replaced his Rane eq after his dac, to drive the power amp, instead of his very expensive line stage preamp, with excellent results. So, I pulled m... 
Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...?
I misquoted. The ME60 ( all 3 versions ( time period of manufacture, I own the 2nd ) have balanced XLR connections. The ME60S did away with the single ended rca jacks. The ME60 can be had for very little ( I have seen them as low as $89. from Guit... 
Horns: Why don't they image well?
Duke...…+1...……...folks like kosst who still have not heard an excellent example of horns in a home environment, will troll the entire concept. And, when we speak of what we hear, with passion, they assume we are suggesting perfection. We all know... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Is Mark the one looking for writers on another thread ? Enjoy ! MrD.
