| How many more years before cd's become passe? I find myself agreeing with Mrtennis. Frightening. | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... The original pressings from the progressive rock band Brand X are uniformly excellent. I particularly recommend "Livestock" (a phenomenal live recording), and "Masques". | |
| 4 ohms or 8 ohms Aerials have a fairly low dip in their impedance curve, so 4 ohms is probably correct. However, you ought to try both taps and use the pair that sounds best to you. | |
| Good amp repair shop in L.A.? I referred a friend to Audio Specialist for the purchase of a 1970s vintage Kenwood intgrated amp. When I saw the amp at my friend's house after he brought it home, it clearly had not been cleaned, and the volume control was scratchy. This is some... | |

| What's up with the 'Piano' gloss???? 07-31-07: Don_sHow do you keep the high gloss finish from showing scratches from normal dusting and cleaning? Fine dust is abrasive and quickly leaves marks on the finish.That's a problem. My speakers are new, so I have not dusted yet, but I know ... | |

| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? 07-28-07: Fplanner2000So far, at about 70 hours, I am amazed at how much better my system sounds than with my prior amp, the McC DNA-500. The bass is actually a little deeper, a little faster and much more palpable than before. If I wasn't hearing... | |
| Do tubes "burn in"? I use CAIG DeOxit to clean tube pins. You could also use basic rubbing alcohol. | |
| Porcupine Tree release that equals Lightbulb Sun? I believe Lightbulb Sun is a worthwhile purchase and addition to your collection, Albert. Give it a shot. | |
| Do tubes "burn in"? Thanks for explaining. | |
| Do tubes "burn in"? I believe the question is excellent, but the listening comparison behind the question is flawed. You were comparing two different tubes from two different manufacturers. These will inherently sound different. The same tube from different manufactu... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The speakers from Classic Audio Reproductions also utilize TAD drivers. They have several models, and at least one or two below $10k. Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere owns a pair. |
