| Thought on OTL tube amps Al, check Berning's website. He clearly states that it is an OTL. Check the picture, you will see that there is no output transformer. Looks like one, sounds like one... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps No paralleling of tubes in David Berning's Quadrature. 200 W into 8 ohms. | |
| Tom Cruise Oh, right, he probably doesn't use the internet ;) | |
| Ground 'box' what's in them? Agree. The tendency to defend one's purchase is there. | |
| Tom Cruise I'll bet Tom and Jimmy are looking at this silly thread and laughing. | |
| Power Cord with a 20 amp female and 15 amp male ? Shunyata will do this for you. Just call the Cable Company. | |
| Incredible review of Vandersteen 7 mkII in... I had the 5a years ago. Nice speaker, but very polite unless it received a lot of watts. Downward firing subs are not to everyone's liking. Very limited sweetspot. Dynamic limitations due to those small drivers. Lack of punch in the lower midbass.... | |

| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio The purpose of your playback equipment is to accurately convey what the recording engineer hears from his studio monitors. Modern equipment is far superior in this regard. The distortions of old equipment lend live classical recordings an added se... | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio In Harry Pearson's day, The Absolute Sound decreed that the sound of a live acoustic space is the sonic holy grail. But that type of sound is now a niche industry. I'm 51, and I didn't grow up listening to that type of thing. 99% of my peers would... | |
| Ground 'box' what's in them? The boxes conform to the laws of physics, and the laws of the marketplace. What's confusing? | |
| My apologies to all... Soundstage is an important way to assess one's setup, but if its not in the recording, then it doesn't matter how good one's setup is. I seriously doubt that any recording by Ric Ocasek or the Cars has any soundstage whatsoever. BTW, I've also sta... | |
| MIT continued experience I've read things like that before regarding MIT. I wonder what is wrong with beautiful, wide, articulate music? I've read similar things about Spectral equipment, with which I have no personal experience. |
