On a scale of 1 - 10 - 10 being the best, I will give Michael a 9.9 for his replies. (I only give 10s when paid LOL) Hopefully between what has been noted, your questions are answered. Great job, Michael!!

For an example, a nominally rated 8 ohm speaker does not present an 8 ohm load constantly. It depends on frequency, the ohm rating for each speaker or horn in the whole unit, plus the quality of crossover can be a factor. Most of what I have seen in changing output on the Amplifiers is with units that have individual 16, 8, 4 ohm taps that you can hook up to. There are other ways, but this scenario is usually what is being flamed, discussed, etc. Some amps can be bridged, thus in part offering a 4 ohm output with higher wattage output. But the 8 ohm speaker can present 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, up to 12 ohms at different frequencies.

If you emailed and left a message stating intent to buy before the higher offer came in, you have a legal leg.

Greetings: After 38 years of Pro Sound equipment, I do agree with Griff regarding the quality of Behringer parts, R & D, etc. It is somewhat a case of you get what you pay for. That said, I do remember the BIC TT's of the 1970's. Very nice performers, quiet, reliable, but some people shunned them as they "did not cost enough." I still have a 960 and a 980 that give me no problems. The Behringer canbe bat, but the price one can buy them for makes a good cost vs benefit model. I would personally go Ashly, as they are made in my County and an irreplacable friend works there. The quality in all forms is great. Pro vs Home Audio - the Pro sometimes is put on an altar, simply because of the "Pro" association. But as Tony stated there are points to start then to upgrade..In those upgrades you have to again examine price vs sonic quality. With some the Components owned mate very well. So again I offer my approach of who is paying for the Equipment, tempered by agreement with Griff. Even with Behringer, some of the assemblers take pride to put the best possible product out that they can. Sometimes that makes the difference in what is heard. dodger

In this new software they have installed, for a couple of weeks those of us with webtv could sign our user name, password and the SSL Secure sign in did nothing. We could change our passwords, sometimes get into the "MyeBay" summary page, but could not even search. In the webtv user's talk, a number of people who had listed items could not do anything. It will be fun to see how the fees, how the bids at ending go and how many people leave negative feedbacks for sellers or buyers. I can see the need for change, but as within the Department I was in, everything had to be checked out for user compatability before implementation. Because of the problem eBay has lost a number of users. But that also caused people to re-register under a different name - for some that worked. Thus the higher number of 0 feedbacks.

Hi Silversport: Staples aren't that much fun to remove? Well, glad that you got them - never give you much time to yak. Other things are on their way home. John J. sends a hello and a H. B.. dodger

Bruce: Thoughts and Prayers are with Barbara and You. I have to see a Dermatologist every three months for skin cancers. A couple have been Melanomas. Stay aware, get checked regularly, stay out of the sum or use a high sunblock. Hers is probably much worse, but diligence proves healthy - a good thought and Prayers help quite a bit also.

If you degauss a cartridge, you eliminate any magnetic properties. Also. to degauss, one needs a degausser such as the type to degauss your Tape Recording Heads and path but do not do it while the unit is on. You have to physically run a degausser over whatever you are degaussing. So what is the cost to degauss BS?

The Original Super Leads and the smaller were done by hand. Hanging the tubes was thought to give better ventilation (yeah, right, maybe a fan?) and for space and wire saving purposes. That way the controls could be where they are. Plus there was always the idiot thought that if the tubes were hanging a quicker change could be made if needed - pulling down easier than up. A hot tube doesn't care. Also hanging the tubes gives more space from the top. They went to assembly line and quality went down. I had a Traynor Bass Amp, eight ten inch speakers, rated for 200 watts. KT-88s hanging, but it had a fan ventilator. Have a '63 Fender Precision that the former owner tear dropped like Entwhistle. Looking for a Vintage Body.

A sincere wish for a Happy Father's Day to all of you Dads out there. For my Father, I miss you, 54 years old was too young, 29 years now, it doesn't seem that long. I also wish a special Happy Father's Day to your new friend as the two of you looked at us trying to bring some K-Horns up to today's standards long distance. Thanks for the help. For all Fathers that have passed, you're not forgotten, you're in Hearts and memories and always will be. We hope that we've come to live to what you wished for us - thanks for your love and friendship. For those that are not yet, or could not be Fathers, Nieces, Nephews and Friends that we have mentored have been given to us. Blessings on All. With Respect, Love and Memories Thanks, Win dodger

When I saw the Farewell 1, one of the members said that they could do as many as they wanted just keep changing the number - paraphrased from memory. It's amazing how well Walsh does play - he kind of talks 39 watts short of a 60 watt lightbulb. Burned out acting.

Years ago a hollaback girl meant that she could bend over backwards - hollow back girl Bananas are a good source of potassium - if you sweat a lot, you need to replenish. They can be cold, warm or Hot

VERY nice work on all counts. As we used to say when I was young: You done GOOD !

Set up right, using a good quality source and amplification, gives you a listen to a number things you didn't know were on your recordings. Maintain Value, can update if wanted, people at the Company are nice. Can make you forget that you're listening to a speaker.

Well, I don't know if BSA will consider this a positive, but we've emailed. He has experience, knowledge, and has been great offering any help. Along with Ben, you're bustin' three Western New Yorkers chops. BSA, no need for the quarters, 911 is free.

Amy, Ben, Gil, Dr. Who - Itruly appreciate the advice, just got up, will try and report back - also appreciate the noting of tape value and experiences with similar units and noting the kind of Pandora's box. Off to try. Thanks.

Greetings: I Have a combination Zenith TV with a VCR unit built in. Model is SMV 1941S-A, 4 head. Somehow a tape became stuck, Turn power on (same button controls TV/VCR), can hear the motor over-working, will not eject, play, FF, REW, after about 45 seconds Power shuts down. Any ideas on how to remove the stuck tape? No matter if it will be used for VCR function again. Thanks, I appreciate any advice. To note: one inserts tape, tape drops down for play/record. Wanted for TV function 98% of the time. Again, my thanks, Win dodger

Scott: We can all be cynical. That said, if Trey or Amy still have his email address, is it Possible for them to contact him and let him know of a mistake? If there is a contradiction, most would question. But the right thing has been done, you've proven that you will state when wrong. Maybe another chance can be had.

A number of things contributed. Poor quality vinyl. Radio Stations starting to play songs a bit fast as in the '50s. Commpresser-Limiters. Poorer pay for Engineers. After some of the marathon recording sessions of the '60s, limits were imposed. Eight Tracks, Cassettes, heading to CDs Drugs or excessive drinking Quality of Amplifiers - Tubed or Solid State - notably for bass plus the guitars themselves hit a low period. Advent of Electronic Keyboards. But there were some good recordings. One point about "Let It Be" is there are two versions. The most noticeable difference is the Guitar solo - one heavy with reverb, one more "Claptonish." On some of the CD releases of those LPs, one can have quite some time searching for the high end also - Layla comes to mind.
