| Best lines in a song Mwheelerk- It's a great song, but the actual lyric is:"I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind youIn my lessons at love's pain and heartache school"And from the same songwriter, one of my other favorites (that always breaks my hea... | |
| Suggestions for current blues guitarists For acoustic blues, try Rory Block. For something a little more mainstream, try Susan Tedeschi. For something w a little bit of a jazzy groove, try Duke Robillard. | |
| Wouldyou have another brand speaker next to mains Guilty as charged. I've got a pair of Ref 3A Supremas sitting next to my Merlin VSM-MMes. Two amps also; VAC Ren 30/30 and Doshi/Lectron JH-50. I throw myself on the mercy of the 'Gon!!!! | |
| Using Professional Amps On Home Theater Speakers Should be fine. If its just for movies and TV, I can't imagine that this would be a problem; in fact its a good solution, IMO. For the use you describe, I think that "audiophile" characteristics are largely irrelevant. We are visual creatures and ... | |
| CONUNDRUM TD is most likely correct, but if ARC says no, then I would go w Jcarr's advice. He designs some of the best carts out there and is a frequent and generous contributor to these forums. Just make sure you use good quality resistors. But I am pretty... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Geoffkait said:the preposterous nature of things like cryo-records, wire and fuse directionality, tiny little bowl resonators, coloring the edge of CDs, crystals, Mpingo discs, demagnetizers, ionizers, extremely low frequency generators, things of... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Grannyring- that is awesome! Your wife is talented, compassionate and has a great sense of humor. If she were only strong enough to wrangle a pair of VAC 70/70 monos up or down a set of narrow, steep stair by herself, she'd be a keeper ;~) | |
| Onix A-120MKII Gets hot fast. Let us know, but I bet you will see an improvement if you make sure the amp gets adequate ventilation. If its also got slots on the bottom, you may get some additional improvement by raising the unit up off the shelf w blocks under the feet. | |
| Heard the new Grateful Dead on Rhino? Can anyone comment on the Rhino vs the orig WB vinyl? | |
| Budget DAC HRT MusicStreamer II+ is very very good, IMO and the new price will leave you $150 for new music! If you can get by w only (asynch) USB. | |
| Onix A-120MKII Gets hot fast. Looking at a picture of the integrated, it appears that there are no external heat sinks and only a small slotted area on the top of the case for convective cooling. If your stacked equipment covers those slots then you are almost certainly going ... | |
| Headphones integrateds with XLR preouts? The Benchmark is often used as just a headphone amp so I think that is one you could look at seriously. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... Isn't the ability to evoke an emotional response what distinguishes art from craftmenship? | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Agree w Pubul57 regarding supporting small craftsmen and his inclusion of RV and RK in the mix. I'm sure that there are many others that fall into that category; perhaps Steve McCormack, Ed Meitner, Dick Sequerra and I know I've left out some others. | |
