The Burns Sisters should have gotten more recognition. Check 'em out. 
What are the Best FM tuners?
Where does my MD100 fit in? I found it a bit bright, so tamed it a little with Harm Tech Truthlink XLRs. Any easy DIY mods? Thanks. Ern 
recommendation of a sound level meter
Rives, Thanks a bunch! Pp 3-4 should be required reading for all A'goners. I'm surprised a bit that the RS's treble peak is relatively low Q...it's a better mic than I thought.Thanks again. Ern 
How about a contest?
Too funny, Marco! Fortunately I got a bit of help recently.... 
Sytrofoam peanuts and EVIL and worthless
Been there, doing that, as it provides great flotation for bulkheadless kayaks! 
Looking for dedicated power line advice.
Gotta disagree with your priorities. I'd get the Belden 83803 (from me ("cured") or on your own), and use P&S or Hubbell outlets. Teflon and good shielding DOES make a difference....

What are the corrections for above 1k (where it gets REALLY inaccurate!)?Thanks. 
No one cares this is the anniversary?
My Dad was D+10, an uncle D+2. My father NEVER spoke of his involvement (through the Normandy campaign, the Ardennes (phew!), the Rhineland, and finally a bit of peace-keeping in Czechosolvakis before his return 1/45.He was a sharpshhooter, mannin...

The Topaz are indeed a bit closed in, using cheap dielectric. Try to find a nicely-shielded all-Teflon design. Used Harm Tech Truthlink might be a winner for ya, for example. 
organ tube amps
No top end, as organ harmonics topped out at around 4kHz (e.g., Hammond) so that's all the bandpass that was required. 
How about a contest?
You mean like mobile audio jamborees, or whatever they're called? Sigh...I have enough to do managing work, kids, getting to as many LIVE music events as I can...and now KAYAKING (whoopie!), to worry about whether my finely-honed systems pass anyb... 
Electrocompaniet CDP--SE upgrade
I'm not sure I have the time to take in this upgrade...nor the hassle of dealing with handling 50 lb boxes, but I'll gladly get you the parts cheap. Local install's about 3-4 hours at most. Ern 
Looking for first system advice
1973, since the dB scale is logarythmic, each 10dB increase corresponds with a 10x requirement in amplifier power...simple math illustrates that +3dB requires a doubling of amplifier power; also remember that +6dB corresponds with a doubling of "p... 
Pass Aleph P Feeding two amplifiers?
No. Just the Aleph 2s and the 'phones. Ern 
blue collar workers
After an initial career in lab equipment manufacturing I slowly transformed into Boston's Subaruguru. Ha! So now I try to protect my piano-playing fingers while burning them on hot heads and cutting them when building PCs. Today's my b-day (52), s...
