| How do I know if seller is selling genuine cables? I've purchased cables here(verified authentic via serial number/dealer contact), without issue. Lately; I've been purchasing everything through The Cable Company(http://thecableco.com/), enjoying their, 'Frequent Flyer' discount and removing all r... | |
| Balanced Variable Attenuators Placette is available, in a balanced configuration, though it doubles the cost. I owned the SE version. VERY transparent! (http://www.placetteaudio.com/index.htm) I'd still own it, were it not for the acoustic nightmare of a listening room, with w... | |
| Passive and active biamp together Marco- The 48db/oct slope will result, because what is left, after the 24db/oct attenuation of the freqs(by the active X-over), is indeed, a SLOPE(the freqs are not completely eliminated). The passives continue that attenuation. Just as holding a ... | |
| Passive and active biamp together Eliminating the passive crossovers is as simple as wiring the drivers directly to their respective input terminals. Leaving them(X-overs) in place, wired, and actively biamping(if both were designed/adjusted for 350Hz & 24db/oct) would result ... | |
| Sad news for VPI - from their Facebook page... I spoke to her, just about a month ago(sweet person). R.I.P. Shiela, and my condolences to the family. | |
| Lyngdorf RP-1 I've been bi-amping various planar speakers, with a pair of 8ft, tapered transmission line, 10" woofers, since 1981(SS bottom/tubed top). Most of that time, crossed via a highly modded Dahlquist DQ-LP1. That was fine, until my expensive divorce, a... | |

| Best Mullard 5AR4/GZ34? No Problem! Enjoy the music. | |
| Best Mullard 5AR4/GZ34? Mr L- Recognition of the variously branded Mullard tubes, comes mainly with familiarity of their internal construction and date codes. Here's some info on the coding: ( http://www.audiotubes.com/mullcode.htm ) | |
| fire spark in 5AR4 rectifier tube for PrimaLuna Pr Just a little FYI; The best sounding, most reliable and longest lasting rectifiers out there, are the Blackburn Plant, Mullard tubes(the earlier the production-the better). Unfortunately, do to all of the aforementioned facts; they are also the mo... | |
| Mistracking HEAR, HEAR! | |
| Mistracking I find it interesting that both Shure(a company that MAY know just a LITTLE BIT about cartridges, and their function on a record surface) and Nautilus(which pressed some of the highest quality discs in the 70's and 80's), both included blank 'Anti... | |
| Mistracking Mr S- Please, tell me: How can a cartridge, with it's anti-skate out of adjustment, ruin a track with no grooves? Mr D- I've found the anti-skate track, on the Shure disc, to be very beneficial. It's saved me a lot of time, when setting up cartrid... | |
| Mistracking Another good reason for the purchase of the Shure Audio Obstacle Course test record: the anti-skate test track. | |
