| I don,t Understand ???? It's been a few months since I posted something controversial and Carl's gone, dammit, so... quit whining! If they don't give you something for nothing you're going to take your ball and go home? Nobody forced you to spend ridiculous amounts of mo... | |
| Help my MonsterPower HTS3500 is humming I guess I'm just lucky as my 3500 is dead quiet and has absolutely no effect on system sound. I have it for one reason: lightning. And it never forgets to shut off the amp, first. | |

| Best female vocals on CD Reading these posts I was motivated to acquire 2 cd's that I now play almost daily: The Chieftains "Tears Of Stone", Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant, Joni, Sinead, etc., singing Irish love songs and Ricki Lee Jones "It's Like This". Both have great... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I like it straight out of the radiator, although in a pinch, canned heat gets the job done. | |
| Passive pre-amp in a cable? Tom nice-the Nobel pot I have says 100k ohm on it and the amp has 100k ohm input impedance. Should I expect better performance going to a lower impedance pot? It really does sound great and I hate to fool with success. |
