| Simaudio 110LP vs PS Audio GCPH, others under $600 Manitunc- If you want a real treat, replace your GCPH's fuse with a HI-FI Tuning 2A slo-blo, Supreme 5mm X 20mm. I opened mine to determine what FREDs to order for it. Found it already had UF5404's(50nS recovery rate), so I just changed the fuse. ... | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light', by Meatloaf. It was recorded WAY after the fact, but hit the nail on the head(except-I was thirteen, not, "barely seventeen")! (http://new.music.yahoo.com/meatloaf/tracks/paradise-by-the-dashboard-light--682333) | |
| 45rpm pressing of Fleetwood Mac Rumours The albums that I have purchased(three to date), that Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray have had their hands on, have been a MAJOR disappointment. I'll never buy another production of theirs. The pressing and vinyl quality were excellent. It's the mix ... | |

| Soundstage depth and width The LEDR test mentioned in this article( http://www.stereophile.com/features/772/ ) basically DOES what (out to)Launche requires of a referenced sound stage. If your system resolves what the test's parameters describe; it will also resolve whateve... | |
| How does the sound change as power cables burn in? Can you understand how a Bumblebee flies? It's an aerodynamic impossiblility. There are quite a few things that work in this world, that no one actually has a concrete answer for, YET! One thing I DO know; Any improvements to the power supply of a... | |
| Amp more important than speakers? Either course will can/will be successful if one makes educated decisions/choices, in ones equipment purchases, as I said earlier. None of us are trying to launch a rocket to the moon, or perform brain surgery, here. Just to satisfy our ears and m... | |
| Amp more important than speakers? NOW THAT IS WRONG! There are a PLETHORA of combinations available, that provide excellent musical reproduction, and satisfaction. The key is making educated decisions/choices, in ones equipment purchases. | |
| DAM Broken tube? Have it tested for shorts, before installing and powering up. Generally; there will be no problem. I would hate to use my power amp as a tester though. A shorted tube could get ugly, in your output stage. | |

Whether you can discern the difference or not(numerous variables), is another matter. Of course if you have a ... | |
