Hello!

I've been reading stereophile for a while and beeing an audio student I specially enjoy the serious measurements in the magazine versus the subjective perpection.

I wonder, however, if it wouldn't be interesting instead of only showing the spectra of a 1kHz sinewave, to also show the spectra of a 1kHz squarewave. I think that the even harmonics that would eventually show up also indicate a level of a non-linearity that isn't displayed elsewhere. What do you think about it!?

Regards,

L.

I am new to this forum, and I have a question for you experts. I have an old Bell & Howell speaker that goes with a small tube amplifier. The speaker outs are something I have never seen before. They are half inch round plugs with two holes. Both ends of the cable would need to be male ends. The person I bought this from is a stereophile, and he had never seen anything like it. His temporary solution was to rig the cable with two bent over nails. This isn't exactly ideal for sound quality or safety. Any help on these connectors or an original cable would be great.

I have an old Bell & Howell amplifier that I am trying to rebuild. It is a 15 watt filmosond amplifier, and I would love to clean it up, but I can't find any information about it. I would love some schematics, or a copy of the owners manual. Any help would be great. I would love to save this little piece of equipment.

Part# 05973

Hi.

I need some help checking if a statement is correct.

Someone I spoke to recently told me that vinyl is 98% high fidelity while CD is only 60%.

What he means is vinyl is 98% like listening to a live band while CD is only 60% like listening to a live band.

Is there any truth to these numbers?

Any help is welcome.

Tks.

Does anyone have any opinions on what would be a better fit for classic rock, country & jazz? A Music Hall 25.2 Amp/CD combo would the source and drive for this system.
Thanks -Z

I'm looking to make my first purchase of a high-end amp. After auditioning an NAD C372, and not being overly impressed, compared to what I have(Onkyo 100W reciever), I decided to take the next step up, and I've narrowed it down to the Krell KAV400xi, and the M.F. A5. One of my local dealers carries M.F. The Krell would be bought based on good reviews I've read. They both cost the same, so price is not an issue. I'm leaning more towards the Krell, because I would like to buy a product made in the USA. I'm not sure that will make it sound better, but....

2-channel is dead? Well, for some maybe, but for others it still is alive and kicking. That includes me.

So my ever kind wife, Diane, desides to stage a tag/garage sale to help the youth at church raise money for summer camp. A noble undertaking.

A developer/realtor cloose friend of ours donates a partially used strip-mall parking lot for the event. Diane sells 30 spaces for $10 each and with the youth selling hotdogs, hamburgers, and soda they did pretty well for almost no work. The place is packed all day.
