| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Amandarae + Iseekheils - Talk Talk also had a minor hit in "Turning Japanese". You can't POSSIBLY call these guys a one-hit wonder ; )"Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese, I Really Think SO!" On a few '80s comps, I'm sure.That's gotta b... | |
| Power cords for Audioresearch. Sounds like what a manufacturer would say. | |
| Good article on transformer designs Thanks for the link - it looks very informative. I haven't had time to read it yet - but I did see that it is also downloadable as .PDF! Very cool. I've saved a copy for my later reading pleasure. I'm interested to see what else may be in their ar... | |
| Tube amps for classical music FU29 vs EL34 EL34's with more bass than KT90? That would seem unlikely, based on my experiences, and a bit of conjecture: As compared to KT90 (taking KT88 as my reference... KT90 is a derivative of the KT88) - what I can offer is that every KT88 I've heard has... | |
| Can I suspend / hang speakers? I did this in college when I lived in a storage room for a term (cheapest rent ever!) Hung 2 Boston Acoustics A60s from the rafters. Can't remember if they sounded good because I was drunk most the time. I doubt they did. There was a hardhat on th... | |
| Audio's Most Enduring Products. Klipsch La Scala. They've been in current production since before many of us were even born (late 50's, early 60's .. Marco?), and they've kept up with every upgrade I've thrown at my system. They're still my everyday gear. I have an uncommon pair... | |
| Expensive interconnects As always, opinions will be all over the map. I happen to have had exactly the same experience as Bombaywalla with the Heros - bloated, slow, fuzzy - like stuffing cotton in your ears. I also had the same experience with Red Dawn - a little thin, ... | |
| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed 1 ohm, 76db ... that's nuts. It'll be interesting to see what he's come up with, when his page is ready. I'll keep an eye out. I must say I'm intrigued by the new generation of digital amps, and think it will be interesting to see if they really t... | |
| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed Muralman1 - are you affiliated with H2O? | |
| money best spent on better dac, transport, preamp? Your digital setup looks like it could stand a little updating to bring you to greater heights.I owned the Aragon D2A mk2 and while it was good, I found it easily forgettable when replaced with even modest modern equipment. I did a direct comparis... | |
| Monitor recommendations with sensitivity =90 Meadowlark Swallow. Awesome little monitors, very dynamic. 89dbdb sensitive - I drive them with Antique Sound Labs Wave 8s (8w monoblocks) and they sound wonderful - no lack of sound pressure in my bedroom system. Very detailed, good bass for a mo... | |

| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed I'd have to pooh-pooh the Monarchy Deluxe 100 option based on my experience with them, and the very poor support I received from the owner of Monarchy, Mr. Poon. I won't be back! | |
| Anyone tried running PS Audio P-300 with no fan ? Hasn't Paul McGowan heard of heatsinks and/or heatpipes? I would never buy an audio item with a fan - just seems to me like there are better ways to achieve the required cooling. He must be hitting a price/size point in order to use a compromise s... | |
| Amps from New Zealand I thought the same thing, if you aren't working for them, they should offer you a job! |
