Song with Song Patty Griffin's "Moon Song" from her Live at the Artists Den. Very simple yet elegant.

I recently bought Patty Griffin's live performance at the Artists Den. Musically it is fantastic, recording ok to good, but the most annoying and distracting thing is the audio is not on synch with the video. It varies from just a short pause to a second or more delay. The sound is ahead of the...

I have a pair of 701's and love them. I previously had Sennheiser 650's that were good but were stolen. Never have regretted buying the 701's. They do everything the 650"s did and much more. Better low end and livlier mids and highs.

ML and tubes I run a Cary SLI-80 (40W triode) for the panels and a McIntiosh 7270 for the woofers with what I feel are excellent results. I tried just running tubes (also using ARC 100 MkII) for full range and thought the bass lacking.

Tonepub I live nearby in Sandy OR, Any chance of listening with you? They look heavy you may need help moving them around... Marlin 503-668-5360

ATS acoustc panels I recently purchased a dozen panels and they do what they are supposed to (actually created more problems for me but that is another topic). They are of good quality and the prices are the best out there. Prompt delivery also. This offer would have saved me $60-$70.

Analog listening I still have all my albums from the Seventies and recently re-invested in analog gear at the urging of my son who is as retro as they come ( I find it encouraging). I bought a Music Hall 7 and Project Tube Box II. I enjoy the quality of the sound but find myself annoyed by the...

High current amps I have noticed that many in this group use McIntosh amps. They rate their wattage the same no matter the impedance. I myself have a 7270. Does this mean they are not a higher current amp? I don't remember seeing a spec on current output on their products. I have no problem...

Only two candidates? I have just two words for all of you. Ralph Nader. Let the games begin!

I have been looking to re-vamp my listening room. After reading a post about ATS Acoustics I explored what they had to offer. I was pleased with the price and selection so I purchased a dozen of their 2'x4'x2" panels this morning. As soon as I get them installed I will let you all know how they...

Which Sub? About christmas time last year I purchased a used Depth. Got a good deal on it from Echo Audio up here in Portland. It is an excellent unit. It replaced a M&K V2B which I have had for many years. I am very happy with it paired with my Aeon I's. Completely fills in the last octave...

Favre I agree Tom. I remember watching the first Superbowl with my Dad and have been a Pack fan ever since. Both sides are too good for the spectacle that they have become. I know little about Aaron Rogers. How will he be? I have never been a Jets fan but may have to include them on my favorite...

Tube dampers Can someone explain the physics of tube dampers to me? How do they work? It seems as though there is a hint of snake oil behind this.

Go Tube/SS I use the power from my Cary SLI-80 for the stat panels, divide the output signal from it between a MacIntosh 7270 and a Depth sub. That makes the panels sing and also have tube pre-amplification for the base driven by the Mac. It sounds great. Good luck

Last Tuesday I had the pleasure of seeing Mark Knopfler for the first time. I have been wanting to see him for years. In fact the last couple of years I was in the dog house with my wife because I failed to get tickets in time for the last time he was in town. I waited till I get off work and...
