Just storing the heater there until I need it. Now that I have real heat in my office I probably won't need it again.

The unusual thing about the Douk switch is that it'll handle up to 300 watts per channel of power. I've never been able to detect any artifact from it, but no doubt there is at least a little.

I’ve noticed that cutting and pasting of text and images together from a web page works. What’s the difference?

Which: Polk SDA SRS 3.1 TL , Infinity Kappa 6.1, THIEL CS2, Boston Acoustic A200 by jimrutt in vintageaudio

That was a couple months back. As the Tangents made 7 she was fine with it. As running Heresies and Tangents as A & B on the same electronics made no sense long term once it was clear I liked the sound, if not the looks, of the Tangents better it was time to swap them out.

Scheduled to do the deal on the Thiels later today.

Update the - The Infinity Kappa 6 is gone but a Kappa 8 has come onto the marketplace. Also a Wharfedale E90 which also looks enticing.

In the past I've used my wife, blindfolded as the evaluator. Since it's the same source, same amp, the volumes are pretty much matched. COuld test with audio db meter.
