| Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6 It only took an hour of listening with music I know well to convince me. As good as the MG III is, the 3.6R is a quantum leap. I took the plunge today and purchased a pair of 3.6R's. My III's have served me well and I still love them, but those se... | |
| Got Glas Platz? Hey Slappy,Get em. If they sound bad you could always use them for windows when you move into your new digs. Tell the neighbors that these are the latest in temperature and light sensing window technology, with the add on bonus of playing music to... | |
| Solar Flares keep coming Onemug, Maybe Mr. Bush will use one of those "weapons of mass destruction" he's gonna find in Iraq to snuff out the sun.Thsalmon,What can I say? Get over yourself man, have a laugh or two.. | |
| Solar Flares keep coming Solar flares are just part of the "axis of evil". Just ask Dubya and Mr. Ashcroft. It's a carefully disguised terror attack. Washington announced earlier today a Pentagon program aimed a "snuffing out" the sun as part of the on-going "war-on-terro... | |
| Preamps for $300 to match with B&K st-140? I have used a Counterpoint 7.1 tube pre with the ST140 for a long time. A very musical combo. They can be had for 275.00 to 350.00 pre owned. | |
| Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6 Tireguy,Thanks for the info. I went through the thread. Perhaps I'll save some money for now and put some effort into my existing XOs. I must say that I have never had any quibbles with the 3A, but they are a little long in the tooth age-wise. I k... | |

| Power conditioner for amps My favorite outlets have been those supplied for us by AudiogoN member Albert Porter. His "Porter Ports" are cryo version Hubbells. Albert is one of the most well-informed and helpful folks around. On a couple of occassions, he has arranged a grou... | |
| Power conditioner for amps If you intend to use the high current UO, it includes a power port. If you want an aftermarket PC on it, make sure it uses a 20A connector as the HC 20A version has that type of inlet on it. The Juice Bar has 3 Power Ports and you can use an after... | |
| Bill Frisell Bill Frisell is very nicely represented on the soundtrack to"Finding Forrester". As a bonus, the soundtrack also gives you Miles Davis, and the "Great Iz" doing his medly of "Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World". | |
| Calix speakers - anyone heard them? Never heard them, but I must say that the big flagship model looks like it was designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis (think of some of Pink Floyd's inflatibles and animation...) | |
| Power conditioner for amps Tom,That was my response to your thread. The PS Audio Ultimate Outlets are readily available from a number of online retailers new, but, in an effort to support the sellers here at the 'GoN, there are always both high current and standard versions... | |
| It's No Fun Being a Guru Anymore I call it the "Audio/Video Interiors" syndrome. If you have perused that periodical of late, you will see some very nicely appointed dwellings crammed with expensive, out-of-site components with performance somewhere between mediocre and (fill in ... |
