| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? A few years back a company was showing a strong presence at RMAF that had a few components that were 100% stored DC power. Although they didn’t sound extraordinarily good, the idea was launched. For some reason it never caught on, but doesn’t PS A... | |

| Best wishes for Tom Petty Tragic news. One of the great Icons of my time, just saw the news when I got back to the office. Still trying to digest this un-expressible loss to the music industry and really much much more than a thread in the fabric on my appreciation for son... | |

| Amp fan cooling without dc current in the 110 line I recently added a cooling fan to my pre-amp from active Thermal Management and it uses a wall wart. I plugged it directly into the wall which powers my system, but since the rest of my system is plugged into AC conditioners, it doesn't seem to ad... | |
| Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period? I don’t drink, so it must be the electronics.

| walter becker Rest in Peace What a true loss to the music industry, any genre. I am sure Donald Fagan feels a severe loss in this news. My sympathies to him and Walters family. | |
| unity gain active tube preamp? Audio Research has been using it for years. I have had it an LS26 and now my REF5, and find theirs to be the easiest to switch to. I looked at other brands and they have it, but complicate the switching from 2 channel to unity gain. Audio Research... | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! McIntosh has bass and treble controls as well as override. | |
| Wiring two systems to one set of speakers...crazy? I do keep a full compliment of tubes on hand, and my motive here is not so much saving money as it is saving wear on the component.I had wondered about the "in use" amp back feeding into the idle amp and damage that might cause damage. I wasn't su... |
