| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? I don't doubt that there are bands that are playing louder than the Who did way back when, but whether or not they make it into Guiness is another story.

| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? While i think that The Who still hold the record according to the Guiness Book, Manowar is definitely a band that plays on "10". No real man would play any other way : ) Sean> | |
| Check this out, heard of Altmann Tube-o-Lator ?? TRT marketed a similar product several years ago. For those that don't know who / what TRT is, it is J. Peter Moncrieff of International Audio Review ( IAR ) fame's company. They also do Wondercaps, WonderSolder, Dynamicaps, etc... TRT stands for ... | |
| Poor man's reference DAC Bryan, i'm just giving you a hard time. I realize that if you're going to get responses, you have to develop enough attention to the thread to attract flies. Hopefully, your tactic got the results that you were looking for : ) Sean> | |
| Bass Response on Dunlavy SC-IVa While i can dig up the facts / figures on this speaker, does anybody happen to have the crossover points handy? I agree with what Tom / Audiotweak is saying in that the woofers are non-symmetrically loading into the room. Since all rooms have vari... | |

| Felix Hell on Reference Recordings WHOA In your excitement, you overlooked a few things. That is, what kind of music is this, what is the "king of instruments" and is this vinyl or CD? Sean> | |
| Sssss...sibilance? You need to look into your AC system, your cabling and room acoustics / treatments. I also agree with Dave aka Sogood51. That is, my past experiences with SAE gear was anything but musical". I would categorize most of that gear as being "sterile" ... | |
| Can I use a Krohn-nite test amp as an audio amp? You can use a cap to block the DC. This would have to go between the positive terminal of the amp's output terminal and the speaker's positive terminal. Varying the size of the cap will vary how low the amp will respond.

| Changing to less expensive gear. Celtic: My question is, were they really "upgrades" and how long did your level of satisfaction really last??? : ) Sean> | |
| I need help with my room Nate: Easy mistake to make when posting on a complex subject i.e. assuming that we know what you know. Other than that, i agree with what you said. That is, you left out just a few "small" details : )My thoughts are that you would have gotten VERY... | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? I think my oldest piece went out the door a few months back. It was made in about 1961, was in mint shape and said "Marantz" with a serial number of "#81" on it. I traded it for a Hewlett-Packard Spectrum Analyzer Mainframe with several freshly ca... | |
| Poor man's reference DAC I know a lot of people that wish they were "poor enough" to be able to afford a $3K DAC. Where's the welfare line and how do we sign up??? Life must be tough just getting by with those "bare necessities" : ) Sean> | |
