| Jeff Beck's Bass Player on Crossroads?? here's the performance we're referring to for those who haven't seen it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIFFRHBCPzA | |
| Jeff Beck's Bass Player on Crossroads?? I was also amazed, and immediately jumped on google. She started playing guitar at 14, switched to bass at 17 so she's obviously gifted. The Jeff Beck performance is great, especially because of her interplay with Jeff, and that performance alone ... | |
| geniuses help- pre into pre--gonna blow up? The only thing you wrote that I understand is can you take preamp out, to line in on another preamp. It's fine. That's basically what HT bypass is, except HT bypass bypasses volume and gain stages. If your preamp doesn't have HT bypass, you can us... | |
| Preamp/pro volume control bypassed? did you connect the power amp to the Record outputs, rather than the Preamp outputs? The Record outs do in fact bypass the volume control. | |
| Heaver grade vinyl vs Standard I find little correlation between the weight of the vinyl and the sonic quality, and wouldn't pay a premium for 180 gram pressing unless I thought it was a superior production and pressing to lower cost alternatives. One of my best sounding lps is... | |
| Bedini 803 fuse values I would call Bedini and ask them the fuse values. I agree Bedini amps are magical . . . I wish I hadn't sold my Bedini 100.100.I never had to have my Bedini 100.100 serviced, but based on my experience with Bedini, I would probably use them for an... | |

| wiring in series with a vertical bi-amp setup hi Brad, yes, I know how to series wire speakers. The thing that confused me about your post is it wasn't apparent that you have 2 sets of speakers that you're stacking and wiring in series, not one set of speakers with 2 drivers. In this latter c... | |
| Rig building - When or Why, do you change devices? My primary systems are pretty stable now but when I started building them (ie in their current form) I did so by buying used gear primarily, and went through a lot of what I call "in home demos". That is, I would buy a new (to me, but usually used... | |
| Hey Audiogon how about a DIY/Horn section? I like it too. But to be clear, you're not suggesting one new category for DIY and Horns together are you? Rather, one for each?I also like the raw parts idea. | |
| Rant- Ebay seller and the cost of shipping 1 cd. report the seller to ebay. I've done this in the past. ebay has a policy that says sellers are forbidden from charging excessive shipping charges (they do this because it cheats them out of final value fees if sellers put a low sell price and high... | |
| Selling to Canadians I have purchased and sold quite a bit from the US. I'm Canadian and every time when it was UPS,I had to pay brokerage fees and tax at my door before they give me my package.Now when Fedex was used they just gave me the package and then later sent... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff The Sttaf, although designed to work with a wide variety of electronics, tends to only sound its best when paired with tube gear and placed in small, sealed off rooms. It also requires fairly precise positioning; as most Totem's do. I owned a pair... | |
| Using a REL Storm with a Spectrum Amp? Mdrummer01 . . I understand. I was a little tentative the first time I connect my Storm up. 3 wires throws you when you expect 4 . . . |
