| Supratek Cabernet Dual on single wire speakers Concerning repairs on Supratek, my question is since Mick has "retired" why won't he supply schematics for his designs? I have requested via e-mail several times for a schematic without any response, this is my concern. So far as reliability is co... | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' A good system will just replicate what is on the recording. The greater the resolution, the better the effect, if it is there to begin, depending on mic placement and mixing. Case in point concerning the Mercury studio recording of 10cc's "I'm Not... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. How about Ema Sumac, the "Peruvian Princess" who's heyday was primarily in the 50's when she was an international star with a 4-5 octave range. Whether you consider her voice mesmerizing or not, she is/was to her many fans. One thing for sure thou... | |

| Greatest Composers of All Time "I'm going to stay out of rating composers, I'll just listen to their work and be thankful for it."Well said Rcprince, couldn't agree with you more. My "rating" is more like my favorites based on current listening, subject to change at any given t... | |
