Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
In situations like this I lead the woman over to the washer and dryer and say, "Honey, can we get rid of these horrible, big, ugly, expensive, white metal boxes?.....They not only use lots electricity and water, they SOUND bad."Then go to the livi... 
LAST???? Has anybody tried this?
I've used LAST on at least 6,000 LP's, spanning a period of more than 16 years.I echo all the other positive comments and must say that I am delighted that even my most frequently played records have maintained almost 100% of their original sound ... 
How come that when most audiophiles
Drubin is right, my punch line is that the speaker I described already exists, the Millennium One by Soundlab.I might have fudged a bit on one part of the description. The Soundlab employs dual transformers separated by resistors, making for "sort... 
How come that when most audiophiles
So Onhwy61, are you directing your comments to the topic posted by Twl, or to my post about the impossible speaker?My post described a speaker that appears to have all the attributes that Twl was searching for.Your argument as to the possible meri... 
How come that when most audiophiles
OK, your looking for the impossible, how about this?A single driver speaker that is pretty much flat from 24 Hz to ultrasonics, and can be driven by amplifiers from as little as 21 watts to over 700 watts? This speaker would have no crossover, les... 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?
No problem Duke, they called this afternoon and we had a good discussion. Heck, there not even mad about the bent fork speaker idea, but they plan to keep their name just the same. 
bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex??
Bwhite, sounds like in incredible solution, but... my favorite is the Purist. The Purist Dominus in 1.5 meter (single unit) is $1565.00. Wonder what a PAIR of 75 foot would be?I anyone at this site that has the bucks to try this, I would love to r... 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?
Either the link provided by Kevin (klblair@buggtussel.comĀ ) is non functioning, he is out of town or does not wish to communicate with me.I sent Kevin an email 5 days ago and have not had a response. 
Calling all tube heads
I just realized that I ask you a question about your tube type and then failed to respond.I agree with Autospec about Amperex 6922 Holland, not because Audio Research does not approve, but rather the way they perform in that piece.If you run Amper... 
Who would like to see a "Tube" section
Chazzbo is correct, and so is Sean and others who have expressed an opinion here. Tubes are a difficult situation, even with a known seller and a known product.I have purchased tubes from ultra reliable sources and still had problems. Many of the ... 
Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?
Boy Vantageaudio, look at the rack on that MIT! 
How long have you had the SAME GEAR?
Lugnut, I love this phrase from your post: " My system isn't as whizbang as most I read about here but it is very musical. I have spent 35 years collecting vinyl and have to laugh at the minimal strides hi fidelity has taken in this time."Anyone w... 
Who would like to see a "Tube" section
I like the idea, I look for tubes frequently at EBAY. The bidding is usually furious at their site when something great is up for bid. 
Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?
I agree Kelly. If fatparrot was saying bad things about the Bush administration he should apologize. Although David 99 has proven his value around here time and again, your backing him up is most likely appreciated. 
where does one buy leadshots for loading spkrs?
If you are really concerned with toxicity, there are dive shops that sell copper coated lead as ballast for scuba divers. I am not certain about size choices, but you would certainly have the ability to add and remove at will, without risk to your...
