| What's better 100w class a or 200w class ab? Thanks for the lesson in physics Bear. You did a wonderful job on that one : ) Besides that, i can see why you are called "Bear". You must be big as a grizzly to tote amps like that around. Those things had better have some hellaciously well made ... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Just for the record, it was not i that gave "Clueless" his "crown of glory" : ) He emailed me and let me know this but at the same time, he would not say who it was. I "think" i can remember who it was, but i'm not 100% certain. Sean> | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Djjd: the article appeared in Stereophile.As a further note, i was digging through some old Stereophiles trying to find a review of an older piece of gear. While i did not find what i was looking for, i did find a review of the $1300 Audio Alchemy... | |
| Record mats, VTA, clamps and my ears While it may not seem like it, i always encourage "contrasting points of view". That is why i said "let the fireworks begin" : ) If everybody felt the same way or did the same things, there would be no need for forums like this as we could not lea... | |
| Family cable shootout Joe, were the Goertz copper cables their earlier flat design or the newer "purled" design ? Besides that, you KNOW that we all want to know what worked the best in your specific system. You can't lead us to the edge and not push us over like that ... | |
| Antenna recomendation Squiddy: i am using an omnidirectional antenna of my own design mounted appr 40' in the air. I did side by side comparisons with a half dozen commercially available omni's and it stomped them all into the ground by a very noticeable margin. If one... | |
| Speaker Cable for Vandy 3A Sigs - Suggestions I will only say that if you decide to go with the AlphaCore Goertz cables, PLEASE use a zobel network at the speakers whether you think you need them or not. I've gotten a few emails from people that were told that they did not need to use impedan... | |
| How long of a wait I agree with the above suggestions. If you haven't heard anything after 24 hours, send another email to confirm your interest and just to make sure that the message gets through. If you haven't heard anything after 3 days, consider it gone. You ne... | |
| Synergism I finally saw the very first SACD that i would want to buy today. As such, i personally am not even remotely considering the purchase of an SACD player until i start seeing a multitude of discs that i would want to purchase. Besides that point, mo... | |
| Record mats, VTA, clamps and my ears My experiene is that you want the record anchored, fully supported and as flat as possible. As such, your ears are telling you the truth and you are striding down the "most correct" path for vinyl reproduction.Mats that offer limited support, such... | |
| Replacement Styli Cartridges What is the difference between the standard OM series and the OM super series ? Sean> | |
| Antenna recomendation If mounted indoors, a well oriented wire dipole ( the "T" antenna that comes with tuners and receivers ) is hard to beat. If mounted outdoors, there are a multitude of antennas that will easily outperform the ST-2 or Fanfare equivalent for measura... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Clueless, i sure hope it wasn't i who "bashed" your first post. You've proven yourself to be a highly valued asset here. I shudder to think that i might have offended or deterred someone as willing as you to share their knowledge. PLEASE tell me i... | |
| What gear do Audio manufacturers use at home? I'm pretty sure that Dr Amar G. Bose is running a wave radio with an external feed to a pair of 901's. He recently stated that this is the most life-like system that he has ever heard : ) Sean> | |
| Audio as a hobby As a sort of "hobby" that offers a combo of amusement / exercise / excitement, i like to go jogging in the nude. The exercise part is quite obvious i.e. the joggingThe amusement part is looking at the people's faces as you pass them by : )The exci... |
