Are there any other EAR 834P modders lately?
I'm wondering if you guys could help me out as EAR has been less than helpful. A long time ago I purchased an 834p that was supposed to be mc and mm - it has the switch - the box says so etc. - but come to find out from my tech there is no mc stag... 
Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used
I have an Audio Valve - Eklipse, which is not south, but rather a little north of $2k used, but man does that thing rock. Very dramatic and a giant sound stage. And I listen to Prog rock which is really intense. Save some more pennies and go for i... 
HD ready madness
It is a Mitsubishi 65" CRT WS-65819. The connectors in the DTV 1080i space are only component rca. It has no internal HD tuner. I can't afford any bullets at this time, but I would like to be able to send a 1080i picture from a DVD player via comp... 
Chapman Redeux
The total cost was about $1500 - new mid drivers, crossover upgrade, wiring upgrade, new socks and black diamond cones. Best audio money I ever spent. 
Chaman Speaker Owners, What Components...
First Doug - you need to change the subject, but I figured you meant Chapman speakers. I absolutely love my T7's and I am now using a 125wpc tube Music Reference RM9II to drive them. I love the tube sound and so do the Chapmans. It's much better t...

Peter Gabriel and music like his
Pete has had a pretty long career so it's hard to get too specific up front. Which period of work do you like? Late solo, mid-solo, early solo, or his work with Genesis? In the Progressive genre there are several to suggest, but I'd need to know w... 
What's everybody listening to this evening?

PAD Rev A vs. Rev B
Forgive me, I should have been even more specific. I'm looking for the difference in the Colossus speaker cable.Thanks again - 
What is the name of your system.
In relation to the room and its purpose, I simply refer to mine as -The Decompression Chamber 
Signal direction
Excellent! That's good news. Thanks for your imput. Now if I can get him a new amp everything will be wonderful. 
TT opinions please
I was in the same spot once and settled on the Rega P25. I haven't been disappointed. If you need to move up from there, you can always spend the $$$ on the cartridge. It's a fabulous no hassle table. 
Woodworkers ?
I don't know if this will work with the Cherry, but I have used the raw meat of a walnut to rub out small scratches from darker furniture. Just rub the walnut meat (obviously not the shell) into the scratch and rub out with a polishing cloth. It w...
