Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics
I think priorities change as often as they need to.. How much can be said about anything stereo.. EXEPT the weird stuff.I try to temper the conversation with a little "insight" on exactly how I burnt the house down, or blew the hair off my rabbits... 
Need more power, Bi-amping does it work or does it just sound wrong
I guess I been doing it all wrong, all along..  Identical? Vertical I could see, horizontal I don't think so.. The whole reason to bi amp is to get rid of the tube bloat using tubes as bass amps and use high wattage cooler running SS amps for BASS...

Cable co. is forcing me to rent or buy what they call a
I'm with ya, I hate being forced to do stuff. :-) FORCED!! LOL 5,000 channels of the same thing..  I remember ABC, NBC and CBS. Then the UHF channel (s TWO) were how you held the rabbit ears.. :-)We have the option to buy one or rent a box where I... 
Contact Dennis Had?
I asked the same question two years ago and folks here on AG contacted me that knew him. There was not a single question I asked I didn’t get an answer for. I was politely told he was retired.Every question I ask was answered on a thread I started... 
thought on eBay?
I’ve had a lot of buying transactions on EBay. I’ve never sold a thing on it.Out of 50 plus and 300.00 dollar or more audio transactions, I got stung once by a guy in Perth (remember that town) and once in the states.State side it was a MC240 that... 
Contact Dennis Had?
What happened to your V12R? Are you having issues? One of the best amps ever made. So is it Upgrades, running hot, leaking oil or blowing fuses? :-)Regards

Is There A Reason for Mono Amps for Ultra-low Noise Class D Modules?
I think it has to do with cabling to in some cases. When you think about how some units are "all in one". A power cable in, and everything else is OUT to speakers. VS cable to everything from everything and from everything to something else, every...

360K Turn Table? I guess I'm not the 360K Turntable type. I bought a house for 39k 30 years ago and was just offered 345K.If I bought the 360K Turntable today, I wonder if I could sell it tomorrow for 39K and in 30 years for 39.00 dollars.Regards 
SET on JBL Everests - Mouse breeding an elephant?
Impedance phase angles are large at low frequencies, though, so the EPDR (equivalent peak dissipation resistance) drops to a minimum of 2.0ohm at 72Hz, and at the other end of the audible spectrum to 2.1ohm at 18.6kHz. So the DD67000 is far from b...

SET on JBL Everests - Mouse breeding an elephant?
You would be better off unbridging the amps and using one for bass and one for mids and highs.. That would sound better than bridged MC275s believe me.. 50 years with Macs, you don't bridge any of the 225, 240, or 275s without some serious reworks...
