| Question re input Sensitivity and 110 db speakers Well, if you don't actually HAVE the amp to test, I think the conceptual answer to your question is--no the amp is too powerful. Even adding an attenuator (a fixed one anyhow) isn't necessarily going to help. I would have thought the whole point o... | |
| Cash burning a hole What to upgrade? A dac for your cd's comes to mind. Lots of good used ones out there in your price range. | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors Well doublugly, if I have to wait I have to wait. And who knows, in that interim an even better speaker by some other manufacturer may come out and then I'll be glad I had to wait. And how would I know it was a better speaker? Advertising, as Jayb... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors Such overwhelming, spontaneous praise for these new speakers... Im going to buy a pair! Or maybe two...one for the listening room one for the family room. | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Bose speakers/systems (overpriced, worthless, essentially, sonically) have the highest waf I have ever seen. | |

| Amp stand for Antique Sound Lab Hurricane tube amp I'd be curious about the ways in which different amp stands effect amp sound. That they differ in appearance and cost is taken for granted. How many amp stands, Rhljazz, did you actually compare to come up with your "favorite"? | |
| Wilson Audio fuse box I wouldn't try a preamp fuse in a speaker. | |
| Amp stand for Antique Sound Lab Hurricane tube amp I can't imagine that any amp stand, as long as it was the right size, would be any better or worse than any other amp stand. Undoubtably, there will be some who can imagine that. | |
| Stereophile or Absolute Sound Stereophile by far. A more honest publication these days. Far better than any online zine. | |
| iPod/iPhone Audio Quality The uncompressed ipod files sound as good as cd | |
| Silver-plated or single metal IC's? Silver plated conducts better but adds in many cases a stridency that some people don't like. |
