If I thought sending a brick to one of those dimwits in Washington would wake them up I would send a whole pallet. Unfortunately most of those same dimwits will vote whichever way they think will keep them in office. This time I hope they think radical immigration reform is what will get them...

Copuldn't find the Teac at the site but the Nexxtech is belt driven. That is a plus.:cool:

At first guess I would look for a cold solder joint or a loose one.:cool:

Keep the SOTA moonbeam! B&O's look good. Micro Sekai TT's usually have a very nice finish.:cool:

I use valve amps and a valve preamp. I and everyone who has heard them are very happy with the sound. I don't hear any hum, hiss or any unwanted noise. I like vinyl also. Some of my, no, a lot of my vinyl sounds better than a RBCD.:cool:

I actually have three subwoofers two for the front and one for the rear. I listen to stereo music using my front speakers which includes the two front subwoofers.:cool:

Lets try this again. There is no such thing as 2.1 stereo!!! Stereo is 2 channels and 2 channels only!:cool:

Try this site www.dynaco-doctor.com .This is J Curcio's site he is well known for Dyna mods and rebuilds. His own gear isn't bad either.:cool:

The only thing they can hurt is your ears. Low bit-rate MP-3's sound truly awful. They sound so bad they make me want to cut my ears off and run away.:cool:

How can the sub be more musical through the analog outputs? Could it be that the DtoA converter on your HD-A1 is or works better? Seriously, as long as you are using your receiver in 2-channel mode there should be no difference in the sound of your sub when switching from an analog input to a...

When I listen to music I use my left and right front speakers. The fact that I use dual subwoofers has nothing to do with 2.0 or 2.1. I play music in stereo. My ESL's are crossed over at 80Hz to my subs. I was doing this long befor Dolby, Dolby Digital, DTS or any sound scheme cooked up for the...

As a tube user I would say you don't know what you are talking about. I started using tubes in 1967. I switched over to SS as everyone else did. As my speakers got better I went back to tubes and stayed. I use SS amps for my subs and that's all. My preamp is tubed also. Have you listened to any...

Have you ever heard any ARC or Conrad Johnson tube gear?:cool:

The video audio sync problem you are talking about I first noticed years ago. I believe there are some players and or processors that can correct for this. Someone else on this site may be more informative than I about this. Slew rate, is measured in volts per microsecond and usually refers to...

I use radically modified Dyna and Hafler gear. My Dyna MKIII's have only the transformers and output tubes left from the originals. My Haflers have only the case heatsinks and power switch in common with the originals. I am very familiar with AVA products. They are very good. See my equipment...

Virtually all SS amps are capacitor coupled. This is bandwidth limiting. This alone makes most slew rate measurements a non issue. I believe you are mistaken as to what slew rate is and how it applies to active circuits. A 1ms lag in any audio circuit puleeeeze!:cool:

Liking the tube amp for undistorted guitar would seem to help my argument. The truth is--- Those little glass bottles reach out with invisible fingers grab your ears in a Mike Tyson grip and won't let you move until the music is over.:cool:

He may be above all this. He may be sitting at home listening to that $100K tube system. Tubes do make you want to listen more and for longer periods of time.:cool:

Before any one "disses" tube amps go listen to one. If you still don't like them after an audition so be it. Most people easily hear why tubes are better. Better yet get some tubes on loan from a dealer. Over a weekend you will be seduced.:cool:

Do you "fire" the subwoofer left or right instead of at yourself so the bass can't hit you? Will it make holes in the floor if it is "aimed " down?:cool:
