| What happened with the SACD format? Red book playback on the better transports and processors is getting so good that SACD is no longer the next step up in digital as it was in the past. | |
| RTR esr 15 info Years ago, I combined the Acoustat 1+1 with 16 RTR elements in a line source, which were absolutely superb. I ditched the Acoustat HF transformer, as it muddied the sound and reduced the efficiency of the panel to force the extended HF response of... | |
| What do you think of a Sonic Frontiers Processor 3 Superb processor. The SE version is an improvement over the stock Processor 3. I have owned the SFD Mk II, and the SFD Mk III, as well as the SE version of the Processor 3. The SE Processor 3 is superior to the SFD III stock. According to Chris Jo... | |

| Yamaha Rx-V1 Channel Drop Out I have found the dreaded channel drop out is caused by dirty contacts in the switches (which disable the amps when an interconnect is inserted into the rca plug outputs) It will show up even though you never have used external amps. The solution s... | |
| time to discuss kt-88's One thing I don't see discussed much, except in this posting is the compatabity issue. Bias voltage, and plate voltage seem to be different for this tube, and they don't seem to be a drop in substitution for Kt88s, or 6550, if all paramaters are n... |
