I'm fine with that as long as Church is mentioned as well.

he actually did a fair amount of research into it how it would have to work and protocol involved.

double negative

sorry, omni people are sematically challenged ... you need to use the term "lobing" instead of "off axis".

something about having a headphone output connected to a powered sub that made me do a double take

yup, for Masters in Computer Science.

I have nothing to add to this thread, other than a for Columbia

don't forget about noise

yes, in response to the above two posts there is a quandary on what to do, if you're looking for a true preamp. However, in Steve's case he's planning on using it as a integrated amp, not a true preamp. What about using the beta22 as a preamp into something like a Pass F4? In this case, there isn't any voltage gain in the amp, so it might be a match made in heaven.

well, more like an integrated amp, but yes I am in agreement. swt61 is planning on trying it out, and this is one of the reasons his beta22 is at my house right now.

while we're on this discussion, take a moment to compare the M3 and ?22 from the data at these links: http://www.amb.org/audio/mmm/rmaa_mmm_8.html http://www.amb.org/audio/beta22/rmaa_beta22_8.htm both are tests results into a 8? load. I won't connect the dots for you, but it's pretty interesting data.

heh, I have this reluctance to mod factory terminated cables. Perhaps I need to just sell this cable and make one with the proper terminations........

yup, exactly what I'm looking for. the price is right on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ATLONA-1-HIGH-QUALITY-RCA-FEMALE-TO-BNC-MALE-ADAPTER_W0QQitemZ150224886712QQihZ005QQcategoryZ32837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem does it look similar to the Stereovox connector?

if only my Deutsch Grammaphone "Der Rosenkavalier" tulip box set would fit

his joinery is especially fantastic, as is his packing skills. The boxes are like custom fit to the cubes. I'll take a pic later on for you guys.

anyone know of a decent quality BNC->RCA adapter?

steve: the cubes in my office are made by this fellow, and the custom top is as well. I opted for cherry of course.

I would agree with the new Tango, but the old ones are very special IMHO. I finally fell in love with the Klyne and Pass phono stages and did away with such things... I hope postjack finds something that works for him!

what transformers do the bent audio mu step-ups use?

why go with these over the Lundahl / K&K step-up?

man, I need some expensive cutters too

yup, you can even order the pad separate from the arcs. Both are $50. I ordered from Yama's
