Exact Power EP15A/SP15A vs. PS Audio Power Plants
I have been intrigued by the operating principle of the ExactPower unit. The Power Plant really does seem like overkill, very inefficient and bulky. Unfortunately, almost no one carries these things from what I can tell - they seem to be primarily... 
Inexpensive tweak
Alruhl, I believe urine is a base, not an acid. The best counteractant for cat piss accidents is white vinegar (acetic acid) - it cancels the ammonia smell (tossed cookies are another matter entirely). Wouldn't recommend someone go slathering it o... 
Question for recording artist/engineers
Some informative answers, except the nature of the question makes it seem to me that this material has already been recorded and will not be redone. In which case you are limited to either remastering, or if that seems to have been performed compe... 
Help please pre-tuner as a stand-alone tuner ???
Rar1's first paragraph response sounds correct to me. His second paragraph seems to answer a different question than was asked however (although I don't follow the last sentence advice even at that).About the question of whether you can use the re... 
Low end TT vs. Hi end CD
Steve, did you already sell your BAT? 
Low end TT vs. Hi end CD
Rockinroni: Lame. Hope you got a laugh out of yourself for me. 
Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites
He wasn't. Double wow! (Jim McCartey was the ex-Yarbird guitar player.) Since the Cactus rhythm section was Tim Bogert and Carmen Appice - as in B(eck) B(ogert) & A(ppice) - the confusion is understandable. 
Low end TT vs. Hi end CD
Roni, I realize what you are saying about the benefits of DTM getting a better TT in absolute terms, but I stand by my statement that the TT he already has can (combined with a decent cart and phonostage) give more *musical* pleasure on some level... 
What are the best live acts?
Jetter, there is a live CD from that show, released on Norton I believe. It actually does a good job of catching the band's live sound, but the production apparently didn't feature any mic's facing the crowd (or whoever mixed it didn't bring the a... 
Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites
Looking back through the nominations, I see no one has mentioned Bob Marley & The Wailers by name. Collective ganja fog, no doubt... 
Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites
OK Ben, I'll step in here...Jay, let's not get too far out of bounds here - "BTBW" is from '68, and Boston didn't come out until '77, if I remember correctly (and trust me, I've tried to forget! :-). 
What are the best live acts?
OK, how 'bout this? Some bands I saw resurrected at the Cavestomp shows in NYC '97 - '01 (RIP) that I never imagined I'd get a chance to see in my lifetime:The Pretty Things? & The MysteriansThe LitterBarry & The RemainsThe GantsThe Troggs... 
Low end TT vs. Hi end CD
Good grief, now we've got audiophiles hearing "PRAT" over the telephone...Psychic, you would be terribly unhappy (but no less insecure I'm sure) if you didn't have anyone to pick a fight with over your beloved 1200, so what I think the other good ... 
VTL Service ??
Asa, the only MB-185 Signature I'm aware of is the model I own with 6550 output tubes. I don't know which of their amps may have used the tube you refer to, but I believe VTL streamlined their range down to 6550's and EL-34's at the time they intr... 
Criminy, I've reached 300 threads
Good point about the posts, Bob. Next - words?!Swampie:And when one speaks of "ahsters", it certainly behooves one to spell 'peninsula' they way you have... ;^)
