| ss amps with variable input sensitivity KP, available on Ebay almost all the time is a second hand Carver AV-705x, 5 channel amp with gain controls for each channel. If you use only two channels, it puts out 180 watts per. I just bought one and have listened to it some now, and it is as... | |
| All in the Family I could have said including Maybelle's son-in-law, June's husband. He married into the Carter family. There is no "Cash family," except for John and Rosanne. Then you could include ex-son-in-law Rodney. | |

| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio Actually, Lucy, I did a marketing study of the high end and general audio industry for a manufacturer's rep firm, as part of an MBA program, 25 years ago. A little out of date now. I made some specific recommendations that were used by some well k... | |
| Want speakers for 700 but none sound good. The Epos M12 mentioned by Sugarbrie is a good bet. I havent heard it but someone (or two) I trust sells it and says it is very good. | |
| Wife stepping on speaker wire Hughes, everyone's having fun with this. Just get cables long enough to push back to the wall and out of the way. Use 12 gauge or lower, and the few extra feet will not degrade the sound. In answer to your question, Audioquest cables are thick and... | |
| Has anyone had trouble with stereophile magazine? I just received my April issue, about a month after everyone else judging from all the comments about that stupid power cord ad with the goosebumps.Finding less and less to read there. | |
| Phase inverting preamps Of course, Herman. It was an attempt to account for the confusion w/re phase and polarity. But it doesnt matter in this context. All the preamp owner needs to know is to reverse his speaker cables, and not left to right as he was told. He doesnt n... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Ouch, guys, it isn't left and right that are inverted. It is as KP said above, pos and neg. Just connect each pos speaker terminal on the back of your amp to the neg terminal on the speaker. They say they do it to save a gain stage necessary to fl... | |
| Cheapo remote for Meridian 508.24 Meridian makes a small remote. It has almost no functions on it, like numbers, just play stop pause and advance (or go back). I have one. It has to be inexpensive but I don't know what it costs. Call meridian and ask them about it. The msr allows ... | |
| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor Mapleshade makes a nice looking thin cable that is not very expensive. I think they have a website you can find. Some members here recommend their cables. For $3.99 x 2 (you need 2 colors to be safe), why don't you get 2 spools of the RS solid cod... | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Craig, well, "folk" might be closer to the truth, if that includes Iris DeMent and Doc Watson. How about Mary Black? Does Irish count as folk? How about Alison Krauss? Bluegrass count as folk? If I call it Hillbilly music is it folk?Here's why I s... | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Zydeco. | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Tweekerman. My guess is that we hear things differently. For example, some sounds are certainly more annoying to me than to my wife or kids. And some people love speakers that I think are irritating. Who knows?In response to your query, although H... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? I was watching a kid run the bases the other day with someone timing him. He was, shall we say, portly. I laughed and thought a calendar would be more appropriate. Opposite with speakers. The calendar is irrelevant. Right now, Harbeth makes a spea... |
