Best "New" Acoustical Treatment Science Advance
The size of your room would determine what combination of farm animals would work best. They do the same thing in normal homes as they do in barnsExactly.Do you throw in a bottle of Fabreze? 
Best "New" Acoustical Treatment Science Advance
Any hidden costs on the Horse Trap or does it come with all the mane parts? I ask because not everyone can pony up. What's return policy if the WAF is neigh?Farm animals are ideal to treat barns (as you experienced), but what about treating a regu... 
Your Fav EL34 and why?
Not surprised by 1markr comments. Although Gary recommended the JJ Tesla E34L, the SED is the second tube I mentioned in my post, almost identical ideas about what's good.I have not heard the new JJ KT77's, they are probably excellent, perhaps Gar... 
Your Fav EL34 and why?
Well Jim, it turns out the same new production tube (and available for cheap price) is the same one I recommended earlier in this thread. The Tesla E34L. Gary Dodd lives about 15 minutes from me and has told me face to face on more than one occasi... 
Your Fav EL34 and why?
I do appreciate it much. The EL34's application is bias dependant? Huh. Yes indeed. For instance, the bias point of EL34 tubes run in triode compared to Tetrode can be different. The bias point of Mullard EL34 tubes in the Tube Research GT400 (ye... 
Your Fav EL34 and why?
The best ever EL34's in my opinion is a toss up between Genelex KT77 and Mullard EL34 (XF1 or XF2).Lots of other NOS varieties were made and many of those are better than current production.Of current production my favorite is Tesla E34L, and then... 
Is the Ginko Cloud 11 the best isolation for a VPI

Which new Reissues are free of pops, ticks etc?
Thomas,I looked at the closed Ebay auction again. It was Detlof that beat me out of that tape :^). You guys have an advantage right now with the dollar so low against the Euro currencies. I can't say I blame you, buying great Jazz titles at a good... 
Which new Reissues are free of pops, ticks etc?
Thomas. I just called Classic Records and they did have some vinyl runs where surface noise was an issue. My LP's, with no noise, were the Blue Note reissues. Classic said those runs were OK and had to do with the fact they are Mono's.Others, incl... 
Which new Reissues are free of pops, ticks etc?
All of the Speaker Corner reissues I've bought in the last two years have been flawless. I must admit though, I don't remember any problems with the Classic Reissues either and I have a lot of them.I wonder if the cartridge and/or set up is playin... 
HD receiver w/hdmi for Sony LCD television
Ditto on Narrod's comments. I've been with DirecTV for 10 years and watched quality drop, advertising increase 300%-400% and prices escalate.I'm waiting for Time Warner to put in fiber which is supposed to be this year. I already use Time Warner f...
