    Tesla Model S After 400,000 km

    That depends on the kind of battery, right? Obviously you're referring to the NCA Lithium-Ion batteries in a Tesla but is it also true for phone, tablet, and laptop batteries? I hope I'm not doing them wrong.

    Option to purchase a Jaguar....

    That survey pertains to the "sales experience" and treatment of customers by the dealer when new cars are being sold. It has absolutely nothing to do with the dependability ratings (a completely different survey) not to mention the reliability of 20-year old cars with 200K miles.

    Option to purchase a Jaguar....

    Ford took Aston Martin and Land Rover, as well as Volvo from Sweden. Divested all of them during the financial cataclysm of 2008. The British auto industry pretty much committed suicide. Bentley went to Volkswagen and Rolls to BMW.

    Option to purchase a Jaguar....

    1990 was, but it took Ford several years to get jaguar in order. Nonetheless, a 20-year old jaguar with 200K miles is the definition of insanity.

    Speakers for Classical Music

    How loud do you listen? The Harbeth 30.1 and 30.2 are frankly amazing with piano and orchestra music, but they need room to sing. I haven't heard the 40 series but I have to assume they would be even more impressive--and demanding. There's no sense feeding such fine speakers with anything less...

    Muzishare X7 or Willsenton R8?

    Have heard them both and the Willsenton definitely presents a sharper soundstage as well as a richer, more sophisticated and detailed sound. And that was with the stock tubes. Can't help with the wife problem though. I don't even have headphones.

    Pickups in the US

    We listen to music while they sit in front of the TV set in another room, having their minds mangled nightly by what I will politely refer to as "cultural propaganda". It's a crying shame but this symbolizes where our country is now, and yes it pervades everything right down to family...

    McIntosh MCD301 vs: MCD500 Shootout

    Thanks Miles that's helpful. That may be the model I was thinking of.

    6 Reasons Why McIntosh Amplifiers are some of the BEST in the world

    Yeah I really like the illuminated green nomenclature but the big blue meters lost their appeal after the first few weeks. Mind you I don't hate them, they just don't interest me particularly.

    McIntosh MCD301 vs: MCD500 Shootout

    Is the MCD301 the model which has obsolete software or hardware? If not the 301, which model is it? I remember reading here about one of the models from that era which were dangerous to own because of NLA parts or dead-end software. Does anyone remember?

    Do you prefer listening to music alone, share it with others or both?

    Right? If you use those it's probably better to be alone

    Damping Factor

    It absolutely depends on those two things, especially the speakers--and also upon your taste as well. Tube amps traditionally have low DF but I'd never dismiss one for that reason alone. Would just match it judiciously with my speakers.
  19. Blue Devil

    What difference will an extra 150 watts make?

    Yeah, I wondered how people were assessing your amp so specifically without actually knowing what it is. Anyway it's fun switching out components but I don't think you're short on power.

    Damping Factor

    Too much spectrum in this thread. So I'll add some more. It's my understanding that an excessively high DF results in an overly dry LF sound. But I also agree with Mr Gellings upthread that above a certain number, the spec becomes less and less meaningful. Just what that number is, is open to...

    Zu Audio Omen Dirty Weekends

    It may be an unfortunate collision of Zu Audio with WAF.

    Best speaker recommendations by tomorrow! lol

    Yeah these are from well before Mac got its loudspeaker act in gear. I wouldn't take this model for free even. They gave Mac speakers a bad rep back in the old days.

    Should I buy this JD riding mower?

    Not to mention, walking is much more healthy than sitting.

    What's your take on German Shepherds?

    The AKC does a tremendous amount of damage, followed by breeders. Virtually every breed desperately needs more genetic diversity at this point, but both stand in the way. Sort of depends on where you live. In nature, dogs huddle together to share body warmth in winter. Hard for a lone dog to do...
