| Europeans vs. the U.S.A. It is perhaps that the American market was so overwhelmed by Japanese products bach in the 1970s that manufacturers survived by building the best of what the best they could do.I suppose the only exception I can think of is McIntosh. I own the 210... | |
| Why would anyone want to listen to a harpsichord? Harpsicord. Reminds me of Lurch from the 'Addams Family' TV show. The sum total knowledge of most American's exposure to this instrument. I live on a hill above a major University where one of my neighbors sometimes has private classical concerts ... | |
| HELP - How Hard is to Blow a Bass Driver Hey Barry;I would like to offer another way to really--aw shucks I really want to use the F*-word--up your speakers, and that is with one of those 'test CDs' that push the speakers to the limit. I blew out my cute little horns sitting on top of my... | |
| HELP - How Hard is to Blow a Bass Driver You probably dodged this one. I don't think that your exposure amp can terribly harm your PMCFb1s at this level. I suppose you could get one of those CDs that test everything, but I would not fret over it.Chill. | |

| What digital evolution? I saw a new car the other day and it had...fins on it. | |
| Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler? I suspect in your price range you are just fine where you sit. This is not a bad place to be, so enjoy! | |
| What digital evolution? The music industry--at least on the software side---operates much like General Motors and Ford did until the arrival of Datsun(now Nissan), Toyota and Honda. Until this time innovation was defined by the addition of nylon seat covers. If is was no... | |
| To Hot to Handle? Good. Just when you are getting used to them you get to start tube rolling. | |
| money best spent on better dac, transport, preamp? The first response to your post is really right on the money. Of course this will not work so well if you still spin vinyl. My suggestion is the Audio Aero Capitole Mark II Cd player that has all of the things you want and it is available used her... | |
| Have you seen the NEW Panasonic tube car stereo? If I were to put this in our car my wife would--to be accurate--really pissed off. She already can't get the Cd player in our living room to play when I have it set for the vintage (mono) tuner.The other car(the one I drive) is a company car and I... | |
