    Perreaux a good amp?

    Power Strips bad for audio?

    Millerdog, that is interesting. I will have to check out what PG&E does in the Bay area and how much hz and volts change. I saw a Monster Power stabilizer at Good Guys for $1,500 that actually maintains exact power if the input is 80-120v. The big impressive meter on the front shows what it...

    Home Theater help!

    The JVC has plenty of power and discrete outputs so that is a good start. I bought the B&W DM 302 for my son and a Monitor Audio ASW 100 sub. It is a really nice setup. Later I picked up some DM302 demos for $150 for myself before I went crazy and got a ton of vintage gear. The 302 received...

    Blank Cassettes: Which one to buy?

    As I remember you can only play metal tapes in cassette recorders that handle metal. It affects the bias and Eq and metal is hard on playback heads not intended for metal tapes. I like Maxell tapes. I have a box of XLII tapes ready to go. In the 70's, when I did the comparisons the Maxell...
