    It's no big deal, but it would help us if you could post the link, and maybe on paragraph. It's not good for there to be rampant copyright infringement going on.

     

    Thanks I missed the link on that one

    Attribution was there already

    Since we are not selling anything, I doubt if anyone would mind if we direct traffic to them or put their name out for free.

     

    My two cents.....

  2. Pro tubes

    Even order harmonics

    Clip gently

    Less components touching the signal

    Easy to roll tubes for new sound

     

    Solid State

    Stable system

    Spec out better than tubes on bench

    If it works for 30 days it should run trouble free for years, if quality components and mfg

     

    Go solid state and get an equalizer, lots of old ones for sale on e-bay

    or one of the newer digital ones from DBX or other.

     

    Which speakers are you running and what is your budget ?

  3. Much less flattering Volker article, laid the foundations for the now

    .....................

    Mr. Volcker certainly deserves credit for curbing the Great Inflation of the 1970s.  However, he also merits a lion’s share of the blame for unleashing the Great Inflation on the US and the world economy in the first place.  For it was Mr. Volcker who masterminded the program that President Nixon announced on August 15, 1971, which  unilaterally suspended gold convertibility of US dollars held by foreign governments and central banks, imposed a fascist wage-price freeze on the US economy, and slapped a 10 percent surcharge on foreign imports.1

    Tragically, by severing the last link between the dollar and gold, Volcker’s program scuttled the last chance of restoring a genuine gold standard.

    More than two years before Nixon slammed down the “gold window,” Volcker, the recently appointed undersecretary of the treasury for monetary affairs, gave an oral presentation to Nixon and his closest advisors on US balance-of-payments problems. The presentation was based on a memo that the secret “Volcker group,” initiated by Henry Kissinger, spent five months preparing.

    Among other things, Volcker recommended a continuation of capital controls to prop up the inflated dollar’s overvalued exchange rate and a massive appreciation or “revaluation” of the currencies of less inflationary countries such as West Germany, placing the burden of adjustment to unrestrained US inflation on these countries. 

     

    Volcker then planted the time bomb that would eventually detonate and seal the fate of the gold standard.  He suggested to Nixon that if these measures did not work to sustain the pseudo–gold standard of the Bretton Woods System, a run on the US gold stock could only be avoided by unilaterally repudiating the postwar US pledge to convert foreign official dollar holdings into gold.

     

    Unfortunately, the Volcker Group report summarily dismissed the alternative of raising — possibly doubling — the dollar price of gold, i.e., “devaluing the dollar,” which would have increased the value of the US gold stock and facilitated the restoration of a genuine gold standard.

     

    Only a real gold standard could have halted and reversed the slow-motion collapse that the international monetary system had been undergoing since the mid-1960s due to large and persistent US payments deficits driven by profligate dollar creation.2

     

    Volcker, however, hated and wanted to get rid of the last vestiges of the gold standard and replace it with a fixed exchange-rate system dominated by the US fiat dollar to further enhance the power and prestige of the US in international affairs. According to Volcker, “the stability and strength of our currency was important to sustaining the broad role of the United States in the world.”  Years later, Volcker revealed, “I have never been able to shake the feeling that a strong currency is generally a good thing, and that it is typically a sign of vigor and strength and competitiveness.”3 One of his biographers intimated that Volcker’s longstanding regret at having been rejected for military service during World War II because of his height was at the root of his single-minded determination to maintain “the supremacy of the American dollar as the world’s premier currency.”4

     

    Indeed, Volcker struggled mightily to make the dollar appear strong, even while rampant money printing to finance Great Society welfare programs and the Vietnam War inexorably weakened it. 

     

    But Volcker bitterly opposed raising the price of gold, because he feared that open devaluation of the inflated dollar would not only diminish the status and reputation of the US, but also reward people and countries he detested, namely, speculators in gold and gold-producing countries such as the Soviet Union and South Africa.

     

    (Degualle Punked the US )

    He especially loathed and wanted to punish President Charles de Gaulle and the French for embarrassing and discrediting the US by withdrawing from NATO and exposing the weakness of the dollar by insisting on converting their dollars into gold in the face of US threats to remove military protection against the Soviet Union. (To add insult to injury, de Gaulle had sent naval ships to retrieve French gold.) ..................

    Quote

    The job Mr. Carter gave Volcker in the late 1970s was even more important and more difficult.

Inflation and unemployment skyrocketed and economic growth fell. .........................

     
    Decoupled from Gold, it won't take long until printing solves all problems instead of tough choices, inflation by printing is a tax on savings.

    With his emphasis on the money supply, Volcker could say that it was the market that determined the interest rate, and thus he could allow the interest rate to go higher, which he did. The federal-funds rate reached 20% in 1981.

     

    20% interest rates sucked the credit out of the economy, slowing asset and wage inflation

    Quote

    ..................... Inflation fell dramatically and created conditions for a quarter-century of strong economic growth. His successor at the Fed, Alan Greenspan, maintained Volcker’s focus on keeping inflation low.

    US was paying $400 Billion yr to the private owners of the FED when Trump took office, this is why he beat the FED down to zero interest rates on money they create out of thin air to buy treasuries.
    Quote

    The American economy still needs change. Despite tax and regulatory reforms, the federal deficit remains large and the federal debt is rising. The answers are as simple as they were in Volcker’s time: Get back to sound and predictable budget policy. Paul Volcker’s career shows the way. Good economics leads to good policy, which leads to good results.

    I was told (informed??) many many years ago that a market maker in a stock can short an unlimited number of shares, as long as it's reflected on their books as a liability.  I don't know this to be true or not.....but it does make sense to me.  Note that this applies only to market makers, not traders, hedge funds nor you & me.

    The closest I ever traveled into the inside of the gearbox in Manhattan aka Wall Street, was briefing analysts, and selling lots and lots of high speed communications equipment to every kind of company on Wall Street. When they put in new regs and sarbox etc, it changes the rules and structure.

     

    Something like 30% of all US communication infrastructure was in Manhattan at the time pre 9-11, the WTC was full of analysts and everything else market related, and lots of global trade companies, we had friends with companies located in the WTC.

     

    Since 9-11 everything is mirrored off site, multiple back up sites, lots of fiber everywhere makes Manhattan less strategic, it's being on a fiber or direct microwave link to an access node on a fiber trunk. With the lock-down nonsense, everyone is working from home and or mirror and back-up sites, Manhattan may never recover.

    Paul Volcker: Gold Was the Enemy

    Former Fed chairman talks about the Fed and gold
    March 26, 2015 Updated: March 26, 2015
     

    NEW YORK—Paul Volcker is a living financial legend. As a chairman of the Federal Reserve in the early ′80s, he was singlehandedly responsible for quashing stagflation by raising interest rates to an unheard of 20 percent by June 1981.

    What ensued was an unprecedented economic expansion and bull market in stocks, which was only seriously stopped by the Internet bust in 1999, caused by the lax monetary policy of Volcker’s successor Alan Greenspan.

    ...........................................

    Indeed, the end of Carter’s term in 1981 saw the peak of inflation at a mind-boggling 13.5 percent, but it didn’t come down soon enough get him re-elected.

     
    ..................................................

    “[Reagan] had all these Republican advisers who were all against the Federal Reserve and I was the only person to defend the Federal Reserve. At the end, President Reagan, to the best of my knowledge never publicly said anything bad against the Federal Reserve and our policies,” Volcker said.

    Volcker also argued that the Fed and the White House should keep an appropriate distance for the Fed to remain independent of politics.

    ..................................................

    Gold, the Enemy

    When it comes to a hot topic of today’s investment world, Mr. Volcker always had a very strong view on gold.

    “Gold was the enemy to me because that was a speculative vehicle while I was trying to hold the system together. [The speculators] were on the other side.”

    Then and now, the gold price is viewed as the inverse price of the confidence in the system. If gold is high, it usually means something is amiss. In Volcker’s time, the high inflation and budget deficits of the 70s propelled gold from a low of $35 before 1970 to a high of $668 in 1980.

    After Volcker got inflation under control and Reagan’s policies ushered in a period of economic growth, gold went down to a low of $260 in the early 2000s.

    Gold was the enemy to me.
    — Paul Volcker, former chairman, Federal Reserve
     

    In recent times, inflation as well as an exponential rise in private and government debt across the world, as well as different financial crises boosted gold to a high of $1,826 in 2011. 

    Gold supporters like Ron Paul have also advocated the auditing of the Federal Reserve, because they want to know exactly how much gold lies in Fort Knox. Volcker thinks they are mistaken because it’s not the Fed who actually controls the gold.

    “The Treasury holds the gold, not the Federal Reserve. The Treasury issues a gold certificate to the Fed. The paper gold is on deposit at the Federal Reserve. It belongs to the United States. If you say: ‘We want an audit of the gold stock, we want to go to Fort Knox and count the gold bars.’ That was a popular idea at that time, but the Treasury never did it. For all we know the bars don’t exist,” he said with a smirk.

    Having raised interest rates to a higher level than any other Fed chairman, he was coy about the current Fed’s opportunity to raise rates.

  7. Any McIntosh with 20 watts or more will drive your speakers.

     

    Just read the reviews on any model you are interested in, esp if buying used

     

    Damping greater than 20 if direct radiators, which your woofers are.

     

    Less than 20 bass will be less accurate.

     

    Mac has capacitor coupled which are lighter by 30-75 lbs, or transformer coupled

     

    which are very heavy, but old school McIntosh.

    It's interesting how times have changed.  CD's don't provide squat, but that's because the Fed has made home-buying more affordable by reducing rates to rock-bottom.

    Houses are less affordable

    so is everything else

    they are trying to keep the all of the bubbles inflated

    so they keep blowing them bigger and bigger

     

    College Loan bubble is now $1.5 T

    Junk auto loans are approx $500B if memory serves me correctly

    and US just ran a $3 Trillion deficit for the year

    My first wife and I bought a home during this period, the early 80’s. And yes, CD’s paying 17% sounds great but the flip side was mortgage rates of the same, 16-18%. Our county issued bonds for first time home buyers with a max purchase price of $68.5K. Mortgage rate was 12.5. We thought we had won the lottery- 

    Yes but, the price of the same house was 10-20% of what it is today

     

    Lower interest rate, higher priced house

     

    1980s Median Home was 3x  Median yearly income, since 2000 it's 6x median income

     

    Now that's what I call inflation 100%

    Naked Shorting

     
    Updated Jan 28, 2021

    What Is Naked Shorting

    Naked shorting is the illegal practice of short selling shares that have not been affirmatively determined to exist. Ordinarily, traders must borrow a stock, or determine that it can be borrowed, before they sell it short. So naked shorting refers to short pressure on a stock that may be larger than the tradable shares in the market. Despite being made illegal after the 2008–09 financial crisis, naked shorting continues to happen because of loopholes in rules and discrepancies between paper and electronic trading systems.

That also is true, on any measurable metric the R90/6 falls short, except for one, the shear pleasure of riding it. That's why out of the bikes in the garage it is the one with 500,000 Km on it.

     

    There are many things we really like even though they may not be the absolute best, good thing too as otherwise Diann would replace me with a more up to date model 🙂

     

    Had the same thought

     

    Years ago one of the bike magazines evaluated Superbikes, pro riders 8 or 10 of them

     

    Like 10 different measurement criteria, Japanese bike may have been the top 5

    Every Rider responded Ducati F1 which finished 6th in criteria.

    Are they that big of a jump compared to their non autoformer amps? I use an MC7106 bridged to 320wpc, but curious what kind of leap i'd make to a traditional mac amp with the autoformer and if even lower 150-200wpc would sound fuller and more authoritative than the non autoformer mac amps bridged to more wpc.

     

    The leap is about 50-75 pounds

    Cap or autoformers both there to block DC from cooking your speakers

    Frequency sweeps would most likely show the same levels of accuracy

    If you want to color the sound, tubes create more even order harmonics if implemented properly

    brain likes even order

    As I've only had experience with older and vintage equipment with the La Scala's, I'm curious what a more modern integrated amplifier would do for the sound of the La Scala's in addition to adding a bit of modern convenience in the form of remote control. Our sources are Chromecast streaming, a turntable, and CD/DVD.

     

    I have a bunch of Receivers, and integrated amps

    Aegir is our first Continuity speaker amplifier, extending a technology we introduced with the Lyr 3 headphone amp. Technically, Continuity is a way to eliminate transconductance droop outside of the Class A bias region, and extend the benefits of Class A biasing. It also solves the NPN and PNP device mismatch problem, since it uses both NPN and PNP devices on both rails. It’s still a very hot-running amp, though, with over 10W of Class A standing bias.
     
    A True No-Excuses Design
    Like Vidar, Aegir uses an exotic current-feedback topology, as well as a 100% linear power supply (with 7 separate voltage rails and 600VA transformer) and microprocessor oversight to eliminate capacitors and DC servos in the signal path. No Class D, no switching supplies, no fans, no compromises, nothing in the signal path but music—for a three-figure price tag.
     
    Power That Scales
    Aegir provides 20W into 8 ohms, doubling to 40W into 4 ohms. Run mono, and you’ll see 80W into 8 ohms. Best of all, Continuity ensures you see Class-A-like performance at all these power outputs.
      
    Convenient Standby Mode
    On Aegir, we’ve added a front-panel button to put the amp into Standby mode. This de-biases the output stage completely and reduces standing power consumption significantly. This keeps the rest of the amp up and running, without massive heat output.
     
    Designed and Built in California
    By “designed and built in California" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Aegir—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our facility. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us, or done in NorCal. Our transformers are also made in California. You get the picture. 
     
    5-Year Warranty and Easy Return Policy
    Aegir is covered by a 5-year limited warranty that covers parts and labor. And if you don’t like your Aegir, you can send it back for a refund, minus 5% restocking fee, within 15 days of receiving it.
