mounting a satellite onto stairway railing
Being Italian made speakers, my guess would be that they are "metric" machine bolts. I have a pair of SF Walls but they have two wood screws on the back for mounting. Concertino's are small and light enough that you could take them to the hardware... 
mounting a satellite onto stairway railing
We in the film business would suggest what is called a Mafer Clamp. It is designed to clamp onto something just like that. Add a Spud adapter and you can mount anything to it. Look at this: http://www.filmtools.com/suma484moand.html. Google "mafer... 
VTL MB-450 with Maggies
Good thread. I look forward to the responses. I just bought a pair of 3.6R's that I'm currently using with Electrocompaniet Nemo Monoblocks, which are 1200 watts into 4 ohms. I have an interest in VTL and Audio Research tube amps and wonder what t... 
Leave an amp "on" permanetly
Danlin1, I think Stevecham was referring to the "Audiophile Environment" as in our hobby and not the environment as in the planet. 
How do I put a DAC to good use?
I mean insight.

Gmood1: Thanks. This might just be what I am looking for.Edesilva: My AX only has a 1/8" stereo mini out.Sfar: Not sure if your statement about the USB port is correct. Gmood1 sent a link to "trends audio UD-10" that seems to convert the USB to ot... 
Power conditioner plugged into computer battery
Thank you for asking this very question as I have been thinking about this the last couple of days. I have a Pass X1 pre amp and a Pass DAC 1 that do not have power switches, so they are always powered on. In a recent power failure the DAC 1 got f... 
Cal Audio Alpha-Delta, Anyone Stack Them?

Newbee, I apologize, I get defensive when people crap on Canon for no intelligent reason. For the record, my grandmother is 97 and my dad is 76, so I'm not too worried about heart attacks. But thanks for your concern. Lugnut, I always go with the ...

Hey Newbee, I've been a photographer ever since I picked up my first camera in 1972. I've owned many Nikons and Canons. They are both fantastic tools offering different features for different people. I’m currently using the EOS 1n system with all ... 
Upgrading, Help Audiogoners
Aoltes, Forget Krell, move up to BAT. I have a pair of BAT VK1000 monoblocks that will tear apart the Krell stuff. I'll even sell them to you if you want. Take care. 
Pass Labs X-600's vs. XA-160's
Tpsonic, Forgiven, of course. Your right about the 600's, they are expensive, so are the Nemos. I'm using a Pass X1 preamp, so running balanced is fine. My Dalis have a more neutral mid-bass, but I think the hi's are a little extended. Thanks agai... 
Pass Labs X-600's vs. XA-160's
Tpsonic, Perhaps a misunderstanding. The Nemos are manufactured by Electrocompaniet. Unless there's something I don't know, what does Manley and VTL have to do with it? Those are both tube amps and the Nemo's are Solid State. Can you please clairi...
