cheap high quality power strip
thanks everyone for the responses!I am sure there are some good ones here. I know the Signal Cable uses really good parts and is the type of simple design I am looking for.BTW I am looking for a power strip not a power conditioner or power cord as... 
the classic tube sound & the modern tube sound
I used to own an ARC SP6a (almost 30 years ago) and thought it was the first step toward a neutral sound. It was a bit dry but clean and very nice. I recently owned an Audio Note Soro SE and could never put my finger on what it sounded like. It wa... 
Sound Dynamics 300ti specifications?
thanks for the informative reply Johnny. I don't know how JM Reynaud got away with a 3800hz crossover (plus an unusual dual crossover in the woofer) for it's Trente speaker which has a 1.1" tweeter and a 7" woofer. But it is really good sounding a... 
AK Fest 2009, Analog?
last year most rigs were an Ipod or computer plus external DAC for source. There were CD players and analog rigs but they were in the minority. There were still many worthwhile rooms, in 5+ hours I did not have the time to see everything I wanted.... 
Exposure 2010S Integrated. Any experiences??
A friend has used Exposure for years and swears by it, his stereo sounds great too so, enjoy! 
Plinius vs Jeff Rowland
I used to own the Plinius 8200 integrated and a friend had the JR Concentra (I think Concentra is the name, it is the older integrated in their lineup). I did hear them in different systems but a guess would be that they sound similar with good ba... 
Mark Knophler; recommended music??
I bought Sailin into Philadelphia and Shangri La based on the reviews here. I prefer Shangri La because it has terrific guitar which seems to be highlighted where Sailing has more of a standard pop quality and the guitar is more subdued except for... 
Sound Dynamics 300ti specifications?
thanks Johnny. I think you are about right on with most of the specs. In the last few weeks I have searched the web and they do have a 3/4" tweeter, 4" mid and 8" woofer. I just wonder how much of the midrange the 4" unit handles, for instance if ... 
The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s.
Spirit - 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus is really good. It is one of my all time favorite 'listenable' albums, it always seems fresh and fun. Timrhu nailed that one. 
best source for guitar amp tubes
thanks guys I will look into Eurotubes and Dougs Tubes especially. 
dumb question about gain and preamps
the only dumb question is the one not asked!pardon any redundancies... 
Mark Knophler; recommended music??
It is interesting to me that most everyone has selected a different album. I will give my 2cents and vote for Local Hero as a very nice listen - the movie is must see viewing as well.I know this is a post about similar artists but I can not think ... 
If you could replace one link...
sorry Dgaylin I did not mean to sound offwhen I had seperates i found the best sound could be had when the better ic was between pre and amp. I also liked it because everything else that was hooked up to the pre sounded better as well instead of j... 
Recommended crossovers for Maggie 20.1s
sorry for the lack of any concrete information but I remember reading (years ago) in Stereophile or TAS that a costly crossover for the 20 (or 20.1) resulted in a minor upgrade. The concensus was that money was better spent elsewhere. I know the 3... 
Todd Rundgren Best of Lp's
a madman in concert! i saw his one man show and was blown away - hard to believe he was so wild (and crude)recommended
