| Conrad Johnson CA200 opinions welcome Yes, most people think that the XA.5 and INT-30A are the better sounding, more tube like amps from Pass. You're pretty well into the diminishing returns area here so I don't think you'll find big differences between the amps, unless you have devel... | |
| modest towers with high WAF for living room? Check out the Dali Helicon 400. Easy to listen to, a little warmth, musical. Not an analytical, high detail speaker.I think the mk Is look a litle nicer with the grille cloths extending to the floor. Finish is very nice high gloss cherry or rosewood. | |
| Conrad Johnson CA200 opinions welcome I have a CA200. It's a very nice integrated. I have trouble describing sound because I don't get the chance to listen to a lot of different gear.The CA200 is definitely a first class integrated. It's smooth, clear and the word that comes to my min... | |
| Am I in the minority? Ferrari, I'm sure ASCAP and BMI are keeping a close eye on any legitimate download seller. I disagree about free music though. There has always been free music. We used to call it radio.I don't have a computer set-up yet, but I'm looking forward t... | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? Mauidj,I didn''t mean to come off as hostile. Lots of people gripe about stuff here. You can too but you may get some blowback. That's just the way it is.I think it is probably more expensive for HDTracks to send a hi-res download, which includes ... | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? Or in the case of downloads...put it on a server and count the money!Mauidj, That is what I was referring to as implying that distributing hi-res downloads is cheap and easy. It doesn't read that way to you?Anyway, enjoy the music you have or can ... | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? I don't think that it is cheap or easy to set up an operation like HDTracks. If it is, compete with them, put them out of business and make a fortune.If downloads are too expensive for you, stick with your cds. It's OK. You've probably got a bunch... | |

| Mullard Tube Code Help You're welcome Mofi. I have a pdf of the codes that someone cleaned up that is much easier to read and understand than the ones that are copies of old booklets. I can email it to you if you send me an email. | |
| Mullard Tube Code Help A little additional info. F3 is the tube type. 1 (and 3) is the change code or version of the tube.B91 = Blackburn, 1959, Week 1In the early 60s they went to a 4 digit code that included a letter for the month. So,B8K3 = Blackburn, 1968, November,... | |
| What have you learned? Music servers are new technology and it will probably be a few years before things get sorted out. If the HP sounds better to you, I would use the HP. You can probably get most of the functions of the server installed on your HP.What model of HP a... | |
| PC Rules There are A/D converters and software for transferring lps to computers and servers and I'm sure there will be more and better ones as time goes on. I think that one day most audiophiles will think that digital (not cd) sounds better than vinyl. D... | |

| Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko? Mcrosier, Jock-A Mo is the original recorded in 1953 by James "Sugarboy" Crawford. He also gets credit for writing the song along with three women. He claims he never has received a royalty payment for it. Since it was released on the Chess label ... | |
| Tom Russell Anyone? Tom started out recording with a band, The Tom Russell Band, by coincidence; and they put out some great albums. "Poor Man's Dream" and "Road to Bayamon" are probably my favorites but they are all good. Same great songwriting but with a killer band. |
