| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Sorry, that's just what it seemed like. When a question about this has a "killed by guns" attachment, and not just "killed by any means", there is an underlying agenda there. I contend that if somebody wants to kill, a baseball bat will do the job... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" And how would that kind policeman protect the citizens, pray tell? Call for more unarmed policemen? Organize a global economic boycott of the criminal? Or maybe suggest a few "sensitivity counseling" sessions? Oh boy! | |
| Best reasonable$ upgrade from spikes? Yes, you need non-flexible type spikes. Rigid, with no rubber or anything like that. Speakers must not be allowed to rock at all, even the smallest invisible rocking will cause sonic problems. | |
| 300B-PP for Merlin TSMM A 24 watt amp would give about a 100db peak max on the Merlins(at 1 meter). This means about 90db average with 10db available headroom for music peaks. If this is loud enough for your listening tastes, then it will be fine. Most folks want the cap... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" I haven't seen the documentary, so I can't comment directly on it. If it advocates gun control, then please let me know so I can avoid contributing money to the producers, by renting this film. They can talk about gun control all they want, but I ... | |
| Designing a transmission line cabinet Sean, as you know, you can only calculate a reasonable starting point and work from there. Unless you have a pre-designed cabinet plan that is known to work for those drivers. One plan that could work with them would be the "Ace" cabinet. This is ... | |
| Please help me sort through this turntable mess Ivanj, the Shelter cartridges are produced by Mr. Ozawa, who was involved with the Fidelity Research cartridges. Ikeda is making his own stuff separately, as you mentioned. | |
| Cartridge for a Rega P2 I think a Goldring 1012 would fit the bill nicely. Low cost and good sound. A good match with your arm too. | |
| VPI 10.5 vs Graham 2.2 RWD, I have read some very positive things about the Basis Vector, but can't comment on any personal experience with it. | |
| Riddle me this... Marketing. People believe that they are getting more for their money when they get big power. They don't know anything about signal paths or idle-current noise, or amp classes. All they know is that they got 250 watts. When their business associat... | |
| Need advice from OTL experts Cdc, OTL is an acronym for "Output Transformer-Less". It refers only to tube amps, because SS amps don't need an output transformer. The output transformer's role is to impedance-couple the inherently high output impedance of a tube, to the relati... | |
| Is Remote Control Important? Onhwy61, you know you are going to contribute to my demise as the last hard-core non-remote using audiophile on the face of the earth! That link was pretty cool! Some very nice looking stuff. | |
| Need advice from OTL experts It depends upon what the input impedance of the amp is. I looked at the Transcendent website, but they don't list the input impedance. The 1000 ohms output impedance of your preamp is a little high, but not really out of the ordinary. Many tube am... | |
| VPI 10.5 vs Graham 2.2 Rwd, I think the Graham is a fine arm, and is worthy of your choice, if you want to stay with a unipivot. It is IMO, the most stable of the unipivots, and has a much better chance of performing with these low compliance cartridges. It is pricey, b... |
