| Different Versions of Tice Power Block III? Thanks. I just bought one of these from a store that had taken it in on a trade but there was no manual and they did not know which version it was. Based on your description of the 3 versions, it sounds like it is the "B" model.What seems odd is t... | |
| What time do you wear? I am one of those PITA people who don't have a watch or cell phone. : ) | |
| Do stands make a difference for equipment? I think that there is no substitute for a solid and massive rack. I also think that mixing materials lessens the likelihood of developing resonances. Sooo...I built my own.For the vertical supports, I bought eight decorative concrete blocks and pa... | |
| Where to buy reversed polarity AC cords? If you are just looking for a way to test whether the reverse polarity will reduce chassis AC potential, you can accomplish this with a pigtail or ground cheater. You can buy one or the other from any hardware store for a buck or so.If you have al... | |
| Tube or SS Preamp with electrostatics & ML amp? I drove my Sequels with a ML #23 and CAT SL1 Signature preamp. The system sounded very good indeed. Then I replaced the #23 with an ARC CL-60 and the sound became glorious. I also added a judicious bit of low end foundation with a Mirage BPS 400 s... | |
| best k-88, 6550 under 40 each I replaced the Sovtek 6550s in my ARC CL-60 with Valve Art KT-88s. The VA are much smoother in the midrange and got rid of the harshness I had with the Sovteks. The bass is extended and clean. The highs are crisp without tizziness. YMMV with the Q... | |
| Cheap Panels...MMG's or Apogee Centaur Minors?? I'll admit that $600 is an infrequent price for Duettas but a pair of mint Signatures sold here in Portland for just that about 10 months ago. Two months later a pair of Duetta IIs in very good condition also sold for $700 in Salem. Perserverance ... | |
| Cheap Panels...MMG's or Apogee Centaur Minors?? Definitely go with the Apogees although I think you might want to consider going for a pair of Duettas. I have seen them as low as $600 this year.

| Help: Best Audio CD-R and CD-RW Blanks? It sounds like there is a strong consensus favoring the Mitsu gold disks. If they are not available in audio CD format, I may have to try a little subterfuge. The tray of the Phillips CDR 880 can be easily opened manually. Apparently, if an audio ... | |
| Cowboy Junkies Fans........ Thanks, Craig. I suspected that if anyone would know it might be you. I have searched everywhere icluding the PBS website with no luck. I can't believe it wasn't recorded. It was a great show with incredible extented versions of Sweet Jane, and so... | |
| Cowboy Junkies Fans........ I saw a Cowboy Junkies concert on PBS in November? about 3 years ago? where they were backed by a large orchestra. It seemed like the performance was live in a studio rather than a concert venue. I missed the end of the show and so did not see if ... |
