| Should I use Impedance 4 or 8? There is no damage that will happen in using an output transformer into an unmatched load, however the amount of power available will be greatest into a matched load. Ie 8 ohm tap, 8 ohm speaker. That said, the damping factor of the 4 ohm taps sh... | |

| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? Hoffman’s Iron Law of speaker design says that you can’t have a small cabinet, high sensitivity, and extended bass response. But you can have two of the three. If you choose high sensitivity and small size, you would want to augment the speaker w... | |
| Recommendations for recent rap and hip hop recordings please. LOL! My rodents can't stand Mahler; no accounting for taste. | |

The Blackheart should be better, or maybe just a different flavor. Interesting that the Blackheart is low impedance at 6 ohms, and the Purpleheart is ... | |
| New UHQR recordings VS the 8 produced in the early 80's. Are the new releases as good? I can’t answer the question, as I find single disc reissues spread out over two albums at 45rpm to be distracting, YMMV. But, other than being called UHQR, there are very few similarities. The originals were 33rpm reissues, half speed mastered an... | |

| MissingCDs and records As we get older, health issues steal so much from us. The great news is that your hip is getting fixed and you will be able, once again, to experience the joys of physical media. Perhaps your medical challenge has made you even more appreciative o... | |
