Macrojack,Thanks for the insightful post! You've whetted my appetite for more info! Can you please tell us:(1) which module the European students designed under B&O's direction?? & can you please elaborate on:"that Jeff told me his digital... 
Kimber BiFocal XL speaker cable
>>I would suggest you look into Monster Cable.Yikes!! Double Yikes!(but I know you're trying to give him what he wants). 
The ideal listening room
Victorhsalcedo,MHO is similar to Highend64: use the Golden ratio (1:1.618)to size your room. This should ensure that room modes are not mutiples of each other which will ensure better room acoustics overall. George Cardas has treated this subject ... 
About Mosfet
Unsound,Incredible indeed! I didn't think that a blown fuse would allow any power to that channel. Must be the way that the fuse was routed into the circuit. Many times amps have fuses but they are not in the direct signal path to avoid spoiling t... 
what is dynamic headroom?
Zaikesman,Good info in your post borne out of experience I note & point well taken. Thanks for sharing the same.BTW, I wrote some basics on D.F. without meaning to write how much is high enough (as Fishcall posed a basic question); rather, poi... 
About Mosfet
Unsound,I feel that it cannot be the fuses. If the fuse is blown, then there'll be zero (or no) output. Rainchild reports "Problem-One channel sounds like a weak reception radio".IMHO. 
what is dynamic headroom?
The dynamic headroom bit is very well explained in the link provided by Zoya so I will not repeat it.Re. Damping factor: Damping factor is defined as the ratio of loud speaker impedance to amplifier output impedance. Nominally & simplistically... 
About Mosfet
Some answers:>>First I would like to know how can one damages a MOSFET?Several ways: put more current thru it than it is rated for, put more voltage on its terminals than it is rated for, put a high surge voltage on its gate during power-on,... 
Question for Rowland aficionados
Just a quick update: I searched these archives & found some info on the 302 & 201. I should have done that 1st before posting. Sorry!However, if anyone has any new updates on these 2 new models, I'd be interested in reading them. Thanks! 
Question for Rowland aficionados
Maybe I can ask this question without hijacking Drubin's thread(!) :-Re. the new Model 201 monos: are they class-D power amps?? They are very light for 250W/ch! Plus, I don't see much heat-sinking fins on the chassis. Has any one of you JRDG afici... 
New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer"
Surfgod,Thanks for that Buddy Guy reco to all of us. I must try to lay my hands on that. Do you know if it is available on vinyl?I have Buddy Guy's "I Left My Blues in San Fransisco" on vinyl. I can say that I'm very disappointed by it - I find Bu... 
The Denon DL cartrige family as a few members,
If I may be allowed to supplement TWL's post then:The Denon cartridge members are: DL-103, DL-103D, DL-103R, DL-103S. DL-103C is a conical stylus MC cart. Hence the "C" designator. DL-103R has PC-OCC (pure copper using Ohno long-grain copper casti...

CAT Ultimate Mark Two upgrade?
Bruno,I have the CAT Sig Mk3 & have no experience with the Ultimate Mk1 or Mk2. However, I have spoken with Ken Stevens many times & specifically asked him what the Ultimate Mk2 was all about. From what he told me is seems that the main pu...
