| Thoughts about these forums J.D. Thanks for your kind words to me specfically and of course all who read this thread (and Patrick's) cannot help but be moved; not only by the health problems that plague you but by the grace, dignity and courage of each of your "personas" or ... | |
| Thoughts about these forums Interesting and heartwarming to see some old names here. Don't know how I missed this thread first time; thanks for the "bump", Speedball. JD- I first saw you back here when you posted on what I will call "Patrick's thread". Sorry to read that you... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Great news, Pat. Been a busy week, but I will try and get in touch this weekend. Hang in there, bro! | |
| Who's Kidding Who ??? Good idea. this is one reason why I prefer to buy and sell classified vs. auction. No chance for manipulation. Willilng buyer and seller arrive at agreeable price, one on one. | |
| Help with vertical Bi-Amping John is right. You are actually talking about horizontal bi-amping. if you cannot find identical amp, you will need an active crossover. | |
| 5Z3PAT equivalent I sold it a while back. Have you tried rolling some of the other tubes? email me off line if you are having trouble finding good NOS replacements. | |

| New cart, step-up or ??? the variable responses I have read made me ask this question with a third option- which I am now getting some support for- getting a higher output MC cart. The Glider is pretty new, not more than 100 hrs since it was re-tipped. Anyone got any idea... | |
| A question to you all........ I too can only get there for at most one day. Any suggestions on the best way to see the most in limited time? Any recommendations as to Sat or Sun? I might be able to come down Friday PM and stay through til 3 or 4 on Sat. How much time is needed? | |
| Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins? Well I beg to differ with Audiomax, but of course, only given my room size (about 24 x 14 x 8) and listening tastes (small "acoustic" music and vocals, not full orchestra). The VZN-80 and the Berning, which are comparable power ratings, do just fi... | |
| ASL MG Head DT OTL mkIII Headphone Amplifier I thought the ASL was a little to "tubey" for my taste. IMO, the Audiovalve RKV is a great amp. Lots of pace, drive, and rythym, and it uses relatively inexpensive tubes. | |
| New cart, step-up or ??? Missed it. Thanks, tho. |
