| Reused Item Photos. Misleading? I've been considering using this curvy/mint pictureBut I know Tabl10s will come after me for diluting his quality image for the sake of a couple of bucks. | |
| product you use for dusting equipment There are vacuum attachment brushes made with genuine horse hair that slip onto your vac's flexible extension hose. Horse hair grabs dust better than plastic, FAR less possibility of scratching plastic or snagging grill cloths and don't create sta... | |
| Analog vs. digital segment on PBS Eldartford.That sound like a reasonable way to maximize the dynamic range CD is capable of. Too bad the recording people don't think about that when they produce them.As quiet as CD's are, I don't see the point of pushing the limits and compressin... | |
| Reused Item Photos. Misleading? That was clever of you Marty, accepting my suggestion to use "But I digress..."Now that I'm convinced you're a clever writer, I want to make an offer on those Bose 901's Danlib1 foolishly mentioned returning.My bid is $15.500.00 or best offer abov... | |
| Reused Item Photos. Misleading? Marty,You forgot to include "but I digress" somewhere in the middle of your description.In case you didn't know, that's a sure fire way to show you're a clever writer. | |

| Analog vs. digital segment on PBS ShadornePerhaps the whole thing was faked and the band who claimed they could not tell were all paid to do so (or more likely the music was all from the good sounding analog). I think the test was performed exactly as portrayed on TV. Electroid t... | |

I was one of the people that wrote Mike a personal email, thanking him for contributing to Audiogon.It does not matter if I or others agree with the review, what's important is his position in the audio community and his will... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Hey Ken, If you tell Mike Fremer about your cool '55 Chevy, maybe he would fly out and show you how to use the accelerometer. | |
| Any dual mono phono stage or pre using 6DJ8 tubes? I owned the SA9 and SA 11 for many years. They were my "absolute" reference phono and line stage until the Aesthetix Io and Callisto came along (about 1998).Remember, the SA9 was designed about 1982-1983 and was produced in 1984 and beyond. Crazy ... | |
