| Tube Preamp and SS Amps - How? Well, there's that the ouput impedence of the pre should be 100 times less than the input of the amp thing. Rule of thumb stuff, so they say. Its not uncommon to run in to an impedence mismatch between a tube pre and a solid amp, so set your calcu... | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers I 'nominate'-Akai MPC2000XL-Chris Vrenna-Chris KinzyThree different personalities, but all are little gems. When do we decide who gets the Drummy? | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. At least Al can pronounce the word "nuclear"..."We had a laugh about that in Org Chemistry class...nerds.With a frequency response like the Rocky Mountains, the worst speaker of all time are Bose 501s. Direct/reflecting can't help either, which re... | |
| Review: Rega Planar-25 Turntable I really dig the Rega TT styling (where's my martini?). Since the recent price drop on the P25, its more on par with its performance/price - compared to the Nottingham Interspace, anyways. The Regas are damn cool, though. | |

| Pro or hi-fi amp, which one would you choose? Interesting posts, Sean. Thanks. | |
| NAD and Classe similarities Yeah, there's no confusing NAD with Classe. | |
| Do Audionut Cable Elevators Work?? Opinions... People have made budget elevators from home depot products (tiles or something). You could do a search here or at AA, get the details, and perform an inexpensive test yourself. | |
| What is the purpose of any kind of upgrade........ Why should I buy such a product anyway and pay again for something that was already paid?Don't think that you are paying twice.
