| Opening the top of a Hafler p-1500 amp. Please Yeah, Just turn it upside down. Shake it out. What falls in can fall out too.Do it over something that you can SEE the screw if it falls out. If it goes into the rug, and you don't then see it. You are 'screwed' (pun intended) | |

| Any news about the Magnepan MG 3.7? Yeah. I just bought NEW 3.6's this last Spring, so NO new 3.7s for me. Maybe after ten years...??But folks like the 1.6s... still. So i think the 3.6 will not be dumped off too fast either. Though NEW buyers will certainly go for them. | |
| Your homemade tweaks? To buy antistatic foam: Online electronics, or computer parts supplies sell small squares of antistatic foam. Radio Shack here in the USA have it. For my original DAC foam, I bought the Radio Shack foam. Got about 6 of them.Recenty I wanted to red... | |

| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . Agree with Baranyi.Also, are we all talking about the same thing? We have 'air', and 'bloom' Now bloom seems to be a better air, but it could be a term used to describe 'warmth' associated with tubes.So I wanted to clarfy that I assume we are talk... | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . I would say that "bloom" around instuments is there in the recording.. just most systems cannot allow it to pass from source to speaker. I would say the very finest small signal is where the 'bloom' resides, and it is too subtle for most amplifier... | |
