| RIP: Paul W. Klipsch 2002 doesn't look like a good year for the "Giants" of audio history. First Henry Kloss and now Paul Klipsch. Both will be missed and fondly remembered by many people. I know that i've owned and enjoyed products from both of these geniuses. Hopefu... | |
| What venues are best for selling used equipment? Out of all of the audio based websites, Audiogon typically has the most consistent results with the least amount of hassles. I've listed identical items on Audiogon, Audio Review, AudioShopper, AudioWeb, etc... at the same time and 90% of my inqir... | |
| best diy or used somewhat small speaker 1200 While it would be stretching your budget if you went with the kit from Madisound, the Joseph D'Appolito designed Thor using Seas drivers looks to be pretty phenomenal for the money. If you were tight for cash and have the necessary tools and woodw... | |
| mixing tubes and transistors Leaving low level tubes turned on in standby mode is typically okay and recommended by several different manufacturers. My Father has been doing this for appr 15 years and only had to change tubes one time. Then again, if one uses "low grade" tube... | |

| Voodoo in Ann Arbor I think that we've all had experiences like this, regardless of race or location. Some people just don't know how to run a business. As such, the "bad" ones are only worried about the color of what is in your pocket i.e. "green" and could care les... | |
| How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound Cford, are you using transparent IC's between both the cd to pre and from the pre to power amp ? If you like, i have a set of cables that you can try until you can take the necessary steps to correct the system imbalance. It will not "correct" the... | |

| Horns + tube amps: can they handle LOUD like SS? I would HIGHLY recommend reading the "white papers" on the Sunfire amps to see how most SS designs operate. This will give you a better understanding of why they sound "grainy & gritty" when being pushed. Bob Carver puts it into words that are... | |
