Difference between Amperex 6922 pinched waist tube
my waist feels very pinched right now. I guess I will have to let out my pants a little. 
Anybody else bothered by $8call.00
Well I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that is annoyed by these ads. I understand you can "not call". I also understand there are reasons why dealers do this. It just seems that they are continually growing in number, and we have to scroll thr... 
Aragon Aurum PreAmp
I had the Aurum pre with the Aragon 8008BB amp. The Aurum is a very well-built pre, and is also nice aesthetically. I upgraded to a Pass Aleph P pre, and the change was unbelievable. I was surprised a pre could have such a huge affect. You can pro... 
How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
This is one of my favorite threads of all time. 
How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
Hey Allegro12....lighten up. We are having fun. Besides for those that hate cats, logic would prevail that they wouldn't want to own them.After hearing what cat fur can do to electronics, I will definitely be buying from non-pet owners.

How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
Hey Clbeanz, that airzooka thing looks like it might do the trick! Neat picture!Question, How do you get the cat IN the bazooka without getting scratched? 
How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
Well I'll share a story I heard once. A man's wife brings home a new cat and a squirt gun. The man asks what the squirt gun is for. The wife says "It's to teach kitty not to scratch our furniture up. Every time kitty starts scratching our furnitur... 
Maggies and McIntosh 501's?
Skip, I had the same experience. The Mac dealer I first went to had the 501's in a HT setup with these huge Mac speakers and a very heavy sub. I had to ask him to turn the sub off. I ended up getting them from another Mac dealer I had purchased lo... 
Maggies and McIntosh 501's?
Lfb44-I don't know what the problem was in the store you heard the 501's, but I assure they are nowhere near shrill, or boomy! It blows my mind how dealers can make great equipment sound awful. It's almost as if they try. I have seen many McIntosh... 
Repairing a broken rca input to preamp
It depends,....some of the rca jacks have internal tabs that are bent over behind the rear panel with a couple of wires soldered to them. If this is the case, it should be no problem to buy a new one, bend the tabs over and solder yourself. Other ... 
Amp burn-in..Best technique
Thanks guys, correction....Mcintosh MC501, not 591. Not that it matters. So how often am I supposed to turn the amp on and off? And this may be a dumb question, but I would think that the speakers offer impedence which forces the amp to work harde... 
What does "good" sound like?
tstan, I am a little confused here, but will offer some comments anyway. I am not clear on what the Yamaha receiver is doing in this chain,...are you using it as a pre-amp? You also mentioned that your Sony player "crapped out",...are you using a ... 
Rel storm III or Stadium III.
There is a REL product that is right in between these subs called the Stentor. Probably a very nice solution. 
Pass Aleph P vs. Audible Illusions L2
Carolina, I can't speak about the Audible Illusions pre. But I bought an Aleph P (non-remote version) several years ago. I had upgraded from an Aragon Aurum. I was BLOWN AWAY with the amount of difference a pre-amp could make. I realize the Aragon...
