| Headphone amp for Sennheiser HD 600/650? No doubt the Woo's are wonderful, but at a price, of course. I've found great synergy with my HD600's in a Peter Millet Mini-Max, which (if you are into DIY) can be built as a kit for about $260. Or purchased used or from various builders over at ... | |
| Best beer Well I found a place nearby hat sells Bells. They had a bunch of different 6 packs for sale, but no Hopslam. I asked if they ever get this in and they said they got allocated 2 cases from the recent shipment. 6 packs sold for $20 each and they wer... | |
| Best beer Haven't ever seen anything from Bells here in New York. Seems like a west coast favorite that stays in its own backyard.Fullers is a no-brainer, especially on tap. I'm a porter lover and Fullers Porter ranks right up there with Great Lakes Edmund ... | |

| Need an audio brainiac...Stumped... Well, it really could be anything, right? Two additional impeding mechanisms have to be taken into account when talking about inductance besides the normal resistance of DC circuits: the induction of voltages in conductors self-induced by the magn... | |
| Need an audio brainiac...Stumped... Strange lack of synergy? It's got to be the output transformers reaking havock when paired with those crossovers. Impedance issues perhaps? | |

| Silicone fluid for Moerch tonearm damping? Just save yourself the hassle of calling Mehran, buying the fluid, waiting for it to arrive, installing it into the arm cavity, waiting for it to settle, evaluating the change in sound, then taking it all out again to just get back where you start... | |

| The State of Jazz There was a huge swap about 5 years ago in jazz for every "popular" jazz artist to do a standards album. Ms Krall was just one of those artists who did standards all along.If you want to hear what is really going on in the jazz world then go hang ... | |
| Silicone fluid for Moerch tonearm damping? I tried the silicon in my DP6, and decided to take it out after a while. It just constrained the dynamics too much. Wich I knew about those sticks, because getting it out of the well with toothpicks was a big PITA. | |
