Someone help me Sound Too Thin ?????
If i could have substituted my name for Trelja's on his post, i would have simply done that. He said it all. Sean> 
How can I safely remove Optrix from my CDs?
As to using the Mikro-Smooth, isn't that kind of like robbing Peter to pay Paul ??? In effect, you are adding yet another chemical agent to the disc and who knows what the result of such a combo might be ? Even if the Mikro-Smooth does remove the ... 
Passive parts: Do they make a difference ?
Gs: I agree wholeheartedly regarding the crucial importance of starting off with a well designed circuit and that designing such a circuit is somewhat of an "art". Having said that, i've heard some very good measuring and sounding circuits sound e... 
Harvey Rosenberg: Did he or didn't he......
Thanks folks. After re-examining the paperwork that i have on these items, one says 1981 and the other says 1983. Nowhere in it does it mention Harvey although there are a few other names brought up. Like i said, i thought that he was involved but... 
Is there an advantage to more tubes in an amp?
Clueless: My experience has been that transistors made by the same manufacturer from the same batch are relatively close in operation. In fact, so long as the manufacturer maintains consistent standards, i've found them to be pretty good from batc... 
$250 used speaker cables for warm system
Snipes: All i can say about the AP Oval 9's was that i gave them WAY more of a chance than they ever deserved over here and in a couple of different systems. Put me in the "glad to see them go" category.As far as the Kimber's go, they are very low... 
How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?
The person that i was speaking about has already responded to this thread ( quite humbly i might add ). For the record and just to keep the rest of you guessing, NO, it was NOT Matty with his balogna sandwiches : ) Sean>PS... why is it spelled ... 
How can I safely remove Optrix from my CDs?
Rather than trusting your CD's to what someone might suggest, try contacting the manufacturers about this. Other than being able to help you remove the treatment, i'm 100% certain that they would like to be made aware of your problem. Sean> 
best pre/pro under $5,000
You might want to take a look at this thread regarding the Outlaw Pre-Pro. While i'm not suggesting the Outlaw is the best for your budget, the person that posted this review also included their thoughts on quite a few other pre-pro's that they've... 
How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?
I can burn toast and boil water with da best of 'em !!! : )I know one guy that posts here and is a professional chef. He must be DAMN good too as i've seen the multiple sets of mega-dollar speakers that he has : ) Sean> 
Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor?
Nrchy: I am also a small business owner ( non audio related ) and offer a lifetime warranty on all of the equipment that i sell or service, regardless of who owns said product. I am the only one in my field in the USA that offers such a warranty a... 
$250 used speaker cables for warm system
Shielding on a speaker cable is not typically a desirable attribute. As such, what makes you want that specific feature ? Using a low inductance speaker cable is typically the preferred method of minimizing the susceptability of the system to pick... 
Is there an advantage to more tubes in an amp?
Clueless did a very nice job of presenting a great yet brief over-view of the subject AND took the time to provide a vast amount of resources for those that are interested in learning. Kudo's to him for helping to educate those that are willing to... 
Passive parts: Do they make a difference ?
Pbb: If a circuit will not "lock" properly due to improper wave-shaping and / or losses within the circuit, don't you think that the results would be audible ? Obviously, one can force themselves to believe that once the circuit "locks" that any s... 
Is it a crazy idea to use a multi-amp as a st-amp?
You might also want to look at the Audioquest interconnects as listed in the middle of this page at Audio Advisor. While i know it lists them as "subwoofer interconnects", they could be used for anything that you like. The only reason that they ar...
