| W and M Interconnects I’m sorry, I glanced through but did not bother to read your lengthy dissertation. However, I did nothing to tarnish the reputation of this cable company. My comments were directed at you, not them. For all I know they are the best cables in the w... | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. It sounds like you may be sitting too close. Try moving back if your room permits. You could also try varying the tilt of the speakers front to back to get the gap you desire,"In the manual, Duos require a set-up whereby "I think the key word in t... | |
| W and M Interconnects Are you seriously recommending that I buy a cable because from the outside they appear to be well constructed?? You haven't even taken 5 minutes to hook them up and get any kind of impression of how they sound yet you are sure that I will be pleas... | |
| What to make of my system? Digital gear, just like your home computer, has advanced by leaps and bounds. A DAC that is 15 years old is as obsolete as a computer running Windows 3.1. A current mid priced CD player will easily outperform mid priced digital gear like your Thet... | |
| Do class A amps draw power even when turned off? .Does this mean that it is drawing 300 watts even when I have it turned off NO, it is consuming no power when it is turned off. The exception would be if it has a remote that is waiting for a command to turn on but that circuit would draw very lit... | |

| Transformer based passives vs passive stepladder Atamasphere's points are well taken and basically boil down to the fact that many source components are not capable of properly driving the cables, passive control, and the input to the amp while at the same time resulting in enough overall system... | |

| Talking Heads Remastered Is it out on vinyl? | |
| Tube Break-In sound character change The 300B will definitely sound different than the 2A3, but whether they "beat" the 2A3 is a matter of taste. Even after the 300B has broken in you may find you pefer the sound of the 2A3. | |
| Lowering output from my CAL dac I didn't realize your DAC was designed for this resistor swap. By all means do it as the manufacturer suggests. | |
| Lowering output from my CAL dac I would suggest modifying an input to the preamp by using a voltage divider rather than the output of the DAC. You will have to experiment to find the proper values. You could start by using two equal size, say 47,000, 1/4 watt. You'll need 4 resi... | |
| What would you say is the better sounding SET amp? It is a common mistake to attribute the sound of a particular amplifier to the output tube. There are so many other factors including the power supply, the driver tubes, the amp topology, the quality/type of the passive components, the amount of p... | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro If they spent a lot of time with you I would still expect a 10% discount from retail. If you walked in and and all they had to do was write up the ticket then I would expect closer to 20%. That is the reality of today's internet marketplace. |
