Budget USB DAC
The Blue Circle Thingee is on back order too. Just like the Stereo Link. Angela from BC linked me to a dealer in IL.I've checked the Hagerman web site before. Forgot to mention them. I've built kits before Kbuzz .. a Dynaco 410 amp. No problem sol... 
Budget USB DAC
Thanks for the replies. I saw the review on Stereo Link in the NY Times. I think they are backlogged because of that article.Fubar II needs an external power supply? Guess I thought it was usb powered. I'll check out their web site again.The Thing... 
Products for raising cables off the floor.
DIY cable risers. Go to Home Depot and get some 1.5 inch PVC couplers in the plumbing department. They are about 2.5" off the floor. Just set your cables on the rough side so they do not slip (the side with the lettering).Best DIY, $$ saving tip I... 
Your First Concert was.....
I had to dig deep on this one, it's embarassing .. my first real concert was the Supremes at Disneyland, September 1970. 
Your First Concert was.....
Dreadhead .. you have me beat...My first Dead show 10/25/73 .. wall of sound show. Kinda muddy sounding, must have been all those McIntosh amps. ;) Just kidding!I went with my girlfriend, who became my wife the next year. We left after the first s... 
Your First Concert was.....
Interesting thread .. I'd have to say my first real concert was a regional band in northern Wisconsin known as the American Tea Company. The location was either the Depot in Merrill or The Hole in Tomahawk. This was 1967 or 1968. Can't really reme... 
Any ideas in speaker choices would be great
The stands I used for my DQ-10s put them 17" off the floor.There was room for a sub underneath each one.I miss mine too, but Maggies are just as nice and open sounding as anything around.AL--===It's ALL in the music===

Any ideas in speaker choices would be great
Excellent choice on the DQ-10's! I had a pair back in the 70's wish I had never sold them.I ran them with a GAS Son of Ampzilla and Thoebe preamp.I did my own mirror imaging and crossover part replacement. Make sure you get some stands. They came ... 
amplifier DB meters
So nobody really answered with a "why"?I was wondering the same thing. Is it cost? Can't be. The newer (90's - 00's) mega amps I see here on A'gon put out tons of w/rms per channel.I have a 1970's vintage Son of Ampzilla, and I love watching the m... 
Computer to Reciever ?
Anyone using the Trends Audio USB dac on a PC? Do you need to use the ASIO driver also?Most of the files I have are 320K bit rate. How do these sound for non-critical listening?I have way to many tunes to use FLAC or WAV files.
