  1. One Thing to concider now a days is the engines. B&S was once the best but in the last few years Honda has been making the best.

    I took mine out of its winter sleep, filled the tank, checked the oil, set the automatic choke and pulled once. Started immediately. Mine is a combination side throw, bagger and mulcher. There is a lot to decide take your time.

    Edit: Forgot to say I have a push with front wheel drive.

  2. No, the world could already be fed. It is about Profit. GM seeds cannot be used again (saving seeds from crop before) since they are "copy righted" These seeds have to be rebought every year. Pest resistent crops could be produced when they go back to the crops which were grown before and are indegenous to the areas where they originated.

  3. GM is a big no no in Germany. While you in theory could get GM Corn many do not considering the stipulations when you want to plant. You have to guarantee 100% that it will not cross into your neighbors lot. Which is 100% not possible.

    Also no one would buy it if they knew what it was.

  4. the teacher won't allow any amplification other than from the headphone jack of a mp3 player or such other player.

    Whose project is it anyway?

    This really made me laugh, I remembered we (Dad and I) wanted to build a car for a soapbox derby. Needless to say it ended up where my Dad and his friends discussed how and what then proceeded to build it. I did not touch one piece of lumber or nail.^^ Kids and their toys!!

    Have fun with the project.

  5. With IE10 I have the same problem with login (thanks for the tip with compatibility mode), the problem with Chrome is formatting. If you want to WYSIWYG you can´t use it. From what I have researched it is the forum and not the browser, I don´t have problems with chrome on other forums.

    Firefox I have been having problems with the flashplayer and youtube videos but works good with the forum.

  6. Ok did a little reading (should not trust some people) and the KT88 is not a replacement. Sorry to waste your time. As far as I have read a 6SN7GT or 6N8S could be used for rolling. Not that this decision is any easier they start at $15 and go up to $160 as well.^^

    Actually I am happy with the sound but I am thinking the tubes installed now are probably not the highest quality and if I can get better for reasonable coin why not try to upgrade.

  7. A CD player that uses KT88s?

    It could be I am being fed a load of [bs] at the moment it uses 2 6N8P´s. Like I said a tube noob and I will probably have to do some reading. I know how helpful and knowledgeable everyone here is however and thought I would ask.

    Boxx, I was on the line myself but the wife bought it for me and although used is in pristine condition. I have 3 outputs, tubed, SS and direct digital. I must say the difference between the 3 are night and day. In comparison to my old DVD player when using the tubed output everything got clearer and 3d, that is the only way I can explain it. The SS and direct digital are no slouch in themselves but do sound clinical in comparison to the tubed. Unfortunately the handbook is in Chinese ( A German dealer lets them be built to his specs.) so I can´t do any reading if it is detrimental to have all three outputs connected at once to do fast A,B,C comparisons.This is by no means a top of the line player but I am very happy with it. Here are the specs.

    Hmmm now I need to know if the KT88´s would be a direct swap for the 6N8P´s. Like I said a can of worms.

  8. Welcome to the forum!!!

    Personally I would save for the reference. The F10 is the starter of the Klipsch palate and it only gets better from there.

    The other question is do you need brand new speakers? Often you can get great deals on Heritage which would put the F10´s to shame and depending on who you ask best the reference.

    Just my €0,02

  9. I dont think this will be an easy question, and I realize oppinions are like a rectum, everyone has one. But looking at price differences for tubes, in my case KT88´s what is the big difference? Aren´t they made to MILSPEC and if they reach this all is good?

    I have a new Tubed CD player and have heard inserting a round of KT88´s really make it shine. The price differences however is making me dizzy. From Electro Harmonix starting at $34 a piece up to EAT which run around $1395 for a matched quad making them $348 a piece. Is that much price making that much a difference?

    This is my first dabble in Tubes and noob would be an understatement. Any information would be greatly appriciated.

  10. Bruno Ganz comments on the parodies. It seems to start out straight, then I'm not sure. Maybe one of you German speakers could see if it's half joking, or what?

    lol actually he says nothing about the parodies. He is just speaking about playing Hitler and the moral issues that came up or not. Just a normal interview concerning the movie what was inserted in the subtitles had nothing to do with it. Interesting interview though.
