Who's got a trick tweeter bi-amp system?
I own Dayton-Wright XG-10's. I am not interested in an anti-D-W tirade. Digustibus non disputandum. I want to know about tweeters. I am currently running a Plinius M-12 and SA-100. The D-W's are passively crossed over to a Gottshalk (Michael Wrigh... 
How did U get into this expensive hobby?
In 1971, my sister's boyfriend went to "Nam. I was the caretaker of his stereo. If I remember right, it was a Pioneer receiver and a Garrard turntable and some JBL speakers. In 1974, my brother-in-law (not the same as above)came back from Germany ... 
Who R U?
Artemus 5: It's my belief that there is nothing wrong with the input connections. It's the output connections that are not functioning properly. Erin can tell when she listens to something (other than herself)if it is off pitch or out of key. It's...

Why Don't More People Love Audio?
For @ least the following reasons:1. Very few people know how to listen to music.2. Very few people will take the time to listen.3. Very few people discuss music just as music.4. There's little status in it.5. Music has been, for the most part, re... 
Tubes vs Solid State
Degustibus non disputandum. Hey folks, we are talking about audio perception (and that's all it is) that is so refined that we are detecting bats in the belfry. 
Most achingly-beautiful music
1. Second movement of Beethoven's violin concerto.2. Mario Lanza singing "Marie" (especially after your Italian mom passes away).3. Side 4 of Yes "Tales from Topographic Oceans" 
XLR vs. RCA
Thanks for the information. At the present time, my 6.5 meter run is Silversonic BL-1 with RCA connectors. The passages between cuts on CD's, at full volume, are dead quiet. Based on what I see above, I probably should save my money and keep what ...
