| Klipsch An SE 2A3 amp is not even close to driving my 97db sensitive Klipsch Fortes on wideband material. Caveat emptor. | |
| Denon DL-103/103R or DL-301II I currently own a Denon 103D and a 103, and have previously owned two of the original 301s. I would love to give you an opinion of the sound, but I prefer to give a bit of factual insight. The 103 and 103R are low compliance cartridges, they requi... | |
| New music From this year:Mary Chapin Carpenter, "The Age Of Miracles"A stunning, and surprising, return to form after two albums searching in the wilderness.Suzanne Vega, "Love Songs"Stripped down rerecordings of her previous hits. Probably for fans only.Th... | |
| The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis? I think for Cicely Tyson, "unintended consequences" turned out to be......not such a good thing. | |
| 2A3 Set power amp Not the first time that I have been dead wrong. My wife is keeping track and I'm into the thousands. Enjoy your amp and honor the music. | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig I would turn my amp into Bombshell McGee. What the heck. | |
| 2A3 Set power amp Your information is probably not correct. A 2A3 used as a single-ended output tube will put out within 3db of 2.5 watts per channel. That is not even close to pushing your speakers, it will run out of steam and fall apart, sonically. Even ten watt... | |
| Stairway to heaven I like the Led Zep version on the live set "How The West Was Won". Page adds some nice fills that are unexpected and Plant's singing is excellent. | |
| The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis? He had a Ferrari, and lived in Malibu. The cops would always pull him over, not because he was speeding, but because he was an African-American in a Ferrari in Malibu. Another interesting facet of the great prism of race relations in this country. | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ? Zman, thank you, but your apology is unwarrented. Actually, you are quite correct, I am an asshole. But now that we've gotten that out of the way, I think that your ad hominem criticism missed the central point of my corrosive jibe. And that is, i... | |
| Power tubes glowing? I'm 53 join the club! | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ? Oh yeah, "incredible" is the word that always comes to my mind when I hear Swedes playing Dixieland jazz. | |
| Power tubes glowing? I wouldn't worry about it either. Your hearing will be so compromised that a switch to solid-state will go completely unnoticed. | |
| SET Preamps Of course, Al the whole thing is ridiculous. Virtually all preamps are SET. The exception being preamps that use tubes that are combo pentode/triode tubes like the 6U8, 6AN8, etc, and these are as rare as hen's teeth. In fact, one might even call ... | |
| Woofers Gone Wild Yes, a friend of mine had the same problem with his P5 and purchased the KAB filter. Although any high pass filter will adversely effect the frequencies above the cutoff in the time domain, he uses Vandersteens, which are time coherent, and does n... |
