| Placette Audio Volume Control I had the Placette in my system for over a year and found it to be everything it claims to be, transparent with no sound signature of it's own. I was so impressed with it that I went to a Placette Linestage. Guy Hammell of Placette is very knowled... | |
| Best Pressing Recommendations Please I agree with the above, as far as The Doors , DCC has the best vinyl pressing. I don't belive there is a current pressing of Brubeck's Gone with the Wind, you will probably have to find a used copy . Good luck, I have every title you listed on vin... | |

| Red Dawn 11 vs SPM Speaker Cable Thanks for the responses, I received a e-mail directly from Nordost and they said that the Red Dawn Rev 11 offers 90 - 95 percent of the SPM and my budget and listening preferences should determine which one to use. Looking at a used pair of bi-wi... | |

| Amps and Women I practice Occupational Medicine at a large metro hospital and provide occupational services to employers. Many of my patients are exposed to noise and have noise induced hearing loss. We always perform baseline audiograms and if they work in an a... | |
| Amps and Women There is no genetic base that woman have better hearing than men. I agree that they may listen differently than men but physiologically we hear the same. Critical listening is a learned process. While I also ask my wife to listen, in the final ana... | |
| Amps and Women Sorry for the typo, I meant to say that woman don't intrinsically better than MEN,(not me) Thanks | |
