| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Most of what is relevant, in audio as in life, is unmeasurable.Doing Newton in a Quantam world . | |
| Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer I use a sub to even out room resonances which often occur in mid-bass region where most monitors start out. If you hear thicker than normal male voices on a standmounter thats often whats going on. | |
| Rega RP6 VTA issue Nope, many avoid Rega for just that reason.There are after market "spacers" and such available but who needs another PITA. | |
| Goodbye Pete Seeger One of the few, very few, American musicians who actually was a great man. In a rational world there would be an official national day of mourning. RIP, Great Soul. | |
| Vandy or Maggy? The key to standmounts is a sub , not to get deeper bass, but to even up room bass response.I've heard 3a's quite a bit, Totems are better but , as you say, need lots of SS power, my AVA 450 is feeding about 400 a side into those 4 ohm pups, they ... | |

| Worth fixing a Dual CS 455 / Thorens TD 190??? Yup, keep the Rotel till you have enough for what you want. | |
| Greatest Composers of All Time Brownsfan, I couldn't agree more. All composers have their strengths and weaknesses, save Bach, who had it ALL.IMHO his Cantatas are the high-point of all music.BTW, I received my Totem Model 1 Sigs yesterday, listening to Live from Met on them ri... | |
| Greatest Composers of All Time Tosta, not nearly as much as I once was, though I still listento perhaps 2-3 a week and have full sets of my faves, namelyBeethoven, Schubert, Haydn, Bartok. Shostakovich, Bartok and Villa Lobis .I'm 78 and started record collecting about 50 years... | |
| Worth fixing a Dual CS 455 / Thorens TD 190??? No way. no day is this worth fixing . | |
| Lovers of Kempe's Strauss take note It pains me to say it but IMHO Karajan was even better,I heardthem both live in Berlin.Loren Mazall was no slouch either. | |
