| Feastrex Field Coil speaker repair Thanks, DeKay. I appreciate it. I do have some concern about the amp (one of the output tubes on that channel might be bad), so I'll probably have it looked at. Luckily, I have a replacement amp and speakers, so I can take a careful look at all... | |

| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? Mateus Rosè, anyone? Wow, that brought me back to the 60s...the decade, not my age ;-)And made me think of my friend, Ron Matous, who I have not thought of in years.

| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? horns and triodes are quite capable of bringing home the bacon!Amen to that! I've heard the M-60s driving the Classic Audio horns in a very large room at RMAF. They R-O-C-K!!! | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering I believe that if there is a return situation, Tekton eats the send shipping cost since it was "free." All the more reason why buyer should pay return shipping costs, Sheesh; do people want the guy to pay YOU for the privilege of auditioning hi... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Never heard Tekton speakers. Given the high cost of shipping these days, and the savings to the consumer associated with direct purchase, I think that the cost of shipping is reasonably put on the buyer. If you buy something from B&M store o... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil I guess I am lucky to avoid this form of audiophilia nervosa. My speaker cables are short and suspended in the air between the amp and the speaker (Connections up high on the speaker). | |
