4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean.....
In practical terms it means you are going to have major problems if you use an amp designed for 8 ohm loads with a 4 ohm speaker. I had a relatively low powered amp (30 wpc class A, dual mono) which sounded real good. I decided to upgrade my speak... 
Ever lost desire to listen to your system because
I had an APT Holman pre-amp for a while. When the opertunity to make a two way trade came along I jumped at it only realizing after it was gone just how good the APT pre-amp really was. It took some time till I was able to replace the new pre-amp ... 
What are the 5 most overrated rock albums?
I'm not sure if he tackled it or was driven into the dirt by it! You're right about the Final Cut comments. I think we might have flailed this dead horse into submission, but the journey is its own reward. 
What are the 5 most overrated rock albums?
Listening to the wall is like listening to a primary school student provide social commentary of the British Empire. The album is self indulgent and sophomoric. Roger Waters seems to be of the opinion that because he has MONEY he has an opinion wo... 
A.O.R no screaming
I'm using my softest voice! Having grown up in the same time period this brings a grin to the wrinkled face.I can remember many mornings riding to school in Rogers '67 GTO blasting Nazereth Hair of the Dog or Ted Nugents Strangle Hold. Wheel in th... 
Ever wonder why things are screwed up?
It seems to me that more decisions are based on horses asses than actual intelligent thought. Ever wonder how that factors in to what you're listening to right now? 
Is it possible for something to be the best?
I have been trying to get people to think in absolute terms when they refer to their systems rather than the subjective whims they currently use to describe their obsession. I love to see/hear people actually think. Many of these threads are so me... 
Is it possible for something to be the best?
Sean, if I asked every maker line level pre-amps which is best each one will have a reason why theirs is it. I didn't start this thread to make a mockery of all the equipment out there or marginalize everyones system. I just wonder if it's possibl...

Everything reveiwed by stereophile (well almost) sucks.Anything that passed for grunge sucked!Led Zeppelin IV was so overrated it is impossible to go into detail that would cover all of it.The Eagles-Hotel California, if only they would step insid... 
Is it possible for something to be the best?
Marty, you're God's too small. You need an upgrade! 
Is it possible for something to be the best?
I guess the question I was getting at is: can the best still be the best if "best" is subjective. To use the example of AlbertPorters wife. If she is the best wife, she would be the best wife for all of us. Albert can be as fond of her as possible... 
Sony SCD 777ES Really that Good???
A friend of mine has the 9000 and took my SCD 777ES home for a couple of days. His girlfriend sat down and listened. A couple of minutes into the session she said she would be willing to work some overtime to help pay for the SCD 777ES. The 9000 i... 
I need help choosing a power conditioner.
TWL is on the right track. In the price range you're looking I'm not sure you'll get an improvement as much as a difference. Power line conditioners, especially inexpensive ones are as likely to get in the way as not. I don't know if it's a need b... 
Stereo or Home Theater?
There is more activity taking places in your brain when you are asleep than when you are watch tv/ht! Listening to music is far more of a mental activity. I took my HT down and it's sitting in boxes or piles around the house. I'd much rather liste... 
Your favorite three Rolling Stones songs?
Angie and wild horses although I'm not a real Stones fan they did have some good songs in the past. They must be too tired now though cuz they sure haven't lately!
