| Krell KSA 50 vs. todays ss amps? Daveyf,I used to own a KSA50. It was NOT "all that", as my daughters like to say. Shrill on the high end, etched, but ballsy bass for something of it's power rating. When I bought it used(~1992) everybody else was drooling over the KSA250, and to ... | |

| Mapleshade records: Pick the best of Sean,I've tried a bunch, but Holt's Law is too true. The Cnuts is kinda fun, as the jazzy covers of rock(e.g. Police, Dire Straits) grabs your attention; at least for a while. The only one that's held my interest over time is Sweetman - Austin Bac... | |

| What do any of you think??? Sorry, Slappy. HT hasn't been getting much of my attention lately. Perhaps they'll get their own forums some day...Regards,Spencer | |

| Smaller speaker - bigger Woofer? If you haven't heard Aerials or Vandersteens, I suggest giving them a listen. They are often described to sound along the lines of what you are asking for. Cary/Vandersteen are often demoed together at dealers. They are both companies that have go... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems vsm-mx Speaker Lesson learned, Bobby. When we talked through placement of my VSM-MX's, you led me to a position about(~41in.) the same distance from the side walls; the difference is that my 14'width yields the "extra" foot from speaker-to-speaker. It never ceas... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems vsm-mx Speaker Congrats, Rob. As another VSM-MX owner, I certainly appreciate your comments.One question for you regarding placement: Have you tried them a bit further apart(~ 7ft)? Seems like you've got enough room width to do this. Without doing the math on th... | |
| Denver TT Shootout? Dmailer,Please post your impressions when you get the new arm. Hopefully, I can get a chance to hear any/all of these tables sometime soon. From all the fascinating posts regarding the Reference arm, it certainly has piqued my interest. Cheers,Spe... | |
| What on earth is Loading and Gain Tom,Thanks for posting in a way that continues to educate me and probably most of us. For a guy who listens to equalizers, you sure know your stuff ;-)Cheers,Spencer | |
| What on earth is Loading and Gain The Shelter 501 usually sounds best loaded at 100 ohms. If you can't go lower than 200 ohms, that is the best of the options you listed. If the EF1 allows you to increase gain to 60-65db, that would help vs. the 52db setting. If not, you might wan... | |
| Aimee Mann fans ? Tireguy, glad the SACDs sound good. However, just to clarify, I was recomending the recent vinyl reissue. It's all good! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Aimee Mann fans ? WXPN in Philly and online at xpn.org plays that song regularly. If you're into vinyl, the recent MOFI of Lost in Space is pretty good. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Guys, From now until 5pm tomorrow, set aside the vinyl and tune in to 88.5FM or www.xpn.org(live stream) to hear the last day of their "Top 885 Songs of All Time Countdown. No where else can you hear segues like Yes-Close to the Edge into Judy Gar... |
