| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? I agree with Neubuilder most house wiring is done with inexpensive Romex which was installed “By the lowest Bidder”. For that kind of money you can hard wire the equipment directly to service panel. Bypass the outlet and all the other household de... | |
| Speaker Cable for Thiel 3.6 I have Thiel 6's and use 12 awg Copper Solid Core Irrigation wire. It leans to the dark side which blends well with thiels brightness. All the multi-stranded wire I have tried does a good job but I keep going back to the cheap stuff. Give Romex a ... | |
| How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own? I have a little over 1000 cd's, 50+ DVD's and 30 Laserdiscs. Don't have a single Lp. My X won the flip and took my record collection in 1984, just to piss me off. I got my first cd player soon after and never looked back. Here's the kicker. I ran ... | |

| So many choices what to buy? I have Thiel CS6s and drive them with a Krell FPB 200. The Thiels require lots of current. Krell amps have that BASS slam which is just what the CS 6's need to shine. The CS 6's need care in placement, 2'min from sidewalls and 4' to 5' from rear ... | |

| Amp for Thiel CS6 I have Thiel CS6 speakers. They are being driven with a Krell FPB 200 in a stereo system. To my ears, the Thiel and Krell are match made in heaven. Try to arrange a audition for as many amps as you can. Amps are easier to move around than the Thie... | |
| Clapton "Reptile" I have been a Clapton fan since the mid 60's. Although this may not be his best work, it is outstanding! My wife and I just finished it and agree it his best track of track project of new material since "Behind the Sun". On my system the recording... | |
| college kid needs help with budget amps Try one of the lower priced Jolida integrated amp. With those speakers you won’t need tons of power. Klipsch speakers are easy to drive have fair bass but can be very bright on top. I think tube warmth will be great with those speakers. Tube amps ... | |
| How much does your system retail for? nice subject. Up to now I have never added it up all up. The total kinda scares me. $18,000.00 oh my! That total is for all the "stereo" stuff, which includes older seldom-used equipment I can't seem to part with. My wife thinks I should look into... | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic oh ya! I know the feeling y'all. I switch back and forth between Electrostatic and Dynamic speakers and tube and solid-state amps every month or so. I can’t seem to make up my ears. The SS and Dynamic speakers spend the most time in front of me bu... | |
| absolute best component you ever owned The absolute best component I ever owned is my old and still working Magnavox 560 CD Player. I paid $89.00 for it 12 years ago and it's still working great. It has digital out and has been used for years with various Outboard DA processors. It was... | |
