Highly efficient speakers to pair with my SET amp
I used a pair of Reference 3A MM DeCapos in a small/medium sized room using 3.5 watt/ch 2A3 SET amps. No problem at all. Your 18 watts/channel would power them nicely in a medium sized room. Of course, if you listen to primarily full scale classic... 
Jeff Beck's Bass Player on Crossroads??
Viridian,There is a video of "The River" on Tal's MySpace page. BTW, I like Tal, but I did not care for that arrangement of "The River".TIC

Speaker Break-in
The previous posters are correct. Place the speakers face to face, as close as possible together without having them touch. Connect one of the speaker cables backwards (+ to -, - to +) which will cause one of the speakers to play out of phase with...

iPod Docks Wadia 170 Transport
Buconero117,It is my understanding that Wadia is the only company that has been licensed by Apple to pull the digital output directly off of the external cable/dock connector of the iPod. I've been told that there is a secured handshake protocol t... 
Need recommendation for new CD/SACD player
Any of the Oppo players mod'd by Ric Shultz at EVS (www.tweakaudio.com) are very good CD, HDCD, SACD and DVD video players. I use an EVS level-2 mod'd Oppo 970 for both the DVD player in my HT system and also as the CD/SACD player in my 2 channel ... 
Life As I knew in My Audio World Has Ended, Help
But seriously, if you really don't have time to listen to your rig, get an iPod and listen during your workout. I have a friend who is a lifelong bodybuilder and previously he was a Jr. audiophile. He now has 3 busy children and a busy work life. ...

what Ipod dock would you buy?
Krauti,Metralla asked "What do you need your dock to do?" You will need to answer that question first.I'll venture a guess based on your request for something to use out on the deck. I'm guessing that this means you want a portable music system th... 
Connecting my turntable to Quad 12L Active speaker
Ejlif may be onto something. I looked at a classified for the Parasound pre-amp and it said "one line input switchable to MM phono". If you are connected to the phono input and it it switched to "MM phono", you may have 2 phono pre-amps connected ... 
A List of CDP with Variable Output
Tbadder,I also own a pair of Quad 12L Actives. Currently I'm using them with an Oppo DV-970H which has the level-2 mods from EVS. All of the Oppos have variable volume control, but the VC is in the digital domain instead of the analog domain. At v... 
A List of CDP with Variable Output
Tbadder,I've responded to this same question many times over the last 8 years. Take a look in the archives and you'll easily find multiple threads which will list at least 10-20 different units that have this feature. Here's a few I have personall...
