| What s in front of your chair? the s'phile author who wrote of the tweek of removing your glasses was none other than that epitome of tweek-geekness, jonathan scull. re: having an ottoman in front of ewe, it wery vell *could* have a detrimental efect, but i'd tink not, if it we... | |
| electrocompaniet aw 100 sound quality? ears, the electro amps should have no problems w/wirtually *any* speaker loads, as the mfr claims they're stable down to 0.5 ohms. re: i/c's, i haven't experimented w/any of the spendy stuff, i'm happy w/the tara labs quantum iv, which i use betwe... | |

| Believers VS. nonbelievers???? GEEzzzzz re: green pens, albert porter awreddy spilled it - this is documented. why are cd-r mfr's starting to include it? to get an extra 50 cents from the compootah-geeks? re: amps, some folks *have* demonstrated thay can hear which-is-which under contro... | |
| Believers VS. nonbelievers???? GEEzzzzz hey jostler, ewe don't have to specifically state what i inferred - hey, even when there *is* hard scientific data to explain why a tweek may work, ewe refuse to believe it! yust take the green-edged cd's, for example. re: differing sounds for dif... | |

| electrocompaniet aw 100 sound quality? not lush like a tube amp, but definitely not a typical solid-state sound. warm, w/the typical solid-state wirtues of detail & dynamics & frequency extension. i tink yule be quite happy... ;~) good luck, doug s. ps - my aw100 & aw75 (u... | |
