| White Audio Labs B2 or A100 Amp. Opinion Can anyone tell me why my truthful experience ( I was first to reply to this post ) earned me negative votes? I gave a very positive description of this product, and made a suggestion as to the possibility of repair options, should a problem arise... | |
| White Audio Labs B2 or A100 Amp. Opinion If the A100 is the amp I am thinking of, I heard it several times on several systems. I am slightly fuzzy on the details, as this was quite some time ago. It ran very hot, and sounded incredible for it's size and price. The only complaint I ever h... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Oh, forgot to say. I gave a +2 for both of you for your expert answers. This was promised in the rules set by David 99. | |
| Music trivia anyone? Rcprince, correct on Cindi Lauper for Peewees Playhouse music. And Estrnad, very observant! Yes to Clockwork Orange on Heaven 17, a wonderful film by my favorite director, in "2001" and every other year. | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? I remember his amazing release in the 1960's summertime. I was day labor, painting buildings to make money for college. "Like a Rolling Stone," the first single release to be aired that ran for more than about two minutes. Each time it came on, we... | |
| How to magnetically shield a speaker???? Texas Instruments makes a heavy metal material called TI shield, it is designed to do just what you are asking about. It is available from Mike Percy audio products. If I remember correctly, I paid less than $20.00 for a one foot square section of... | |
| Deflex Panel Impressions and Experiences Totally agree Sean, and accurately stated. | |
| How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own? I have at least 3, 600 LP's, but only about 250 CD titles. I had well over 2000 CD's when I was trying to make it the reference format for my system. I have until recently, continued to sell off the CD collection, retaining only the ones I cannot ... | |
| Deflex Panel Impressions and Experiences I installed the Deflex panels in a pair of sub woofers manufactured by Fosgate. These units employed the LE14 JBL drivers, and were designed to be downward firing. I was using these with two separate transistor mono amps, rated at 200 watts each. ... | |
| amp and speakers break in Acoustic Energy speakers will probably require 100 to 150 hours minimum, before they are as smooth, extended and dynamic as they need to be. I don't know on the amps, but would be surprised if they don't require at least as much as the speakers, p... | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? I have the original LP of this, plus the RCA BMG of "the Caution Horses," and a promo copy of "Misguided Angel." This last LP is only five cuts, containing the live recording at Church of Holy Trinity in Toronto (1987) and Misguided Angel live ver... | |
| Calling all Recording Engineers Frap, good to hear from a man that appreciates art. Thank you. | |
| tube pre-amp modification for HT? For what it is worth, I would accept the advise given by Jctubes. I use my tube preamp exactly the way he suggests, and get excellent home theater results. You may consider too, that modifications to your unit will most likely void the warranty. | |
| Point of Diminishing Returns? My sincere thanks to all of you for your support. It is odd that someone would vote negative solely based on my choice of equipment. A more constructive approach would be for them to post in opposition, allowing everyone to consider their point of... | |
| Calling all Recording Engineers While I am certainly no recording engineer, I think the answer is "simpler is better." The recordings that you refer to are among the best that I have too. Fantasy, which includes Contemporary, Galaxy, Pablo, and Riverside all had a very direct ap... |
