Nelson,

Thanks for the interesting information!!

This link appears to have an error in file size since it downloads in 1 second (even though it says the file is larger) and it won't open:

This second link appears to download ok but then won't open using standard tif filters... I suspect a corrupted tif file...

All others work fine...

Any others out there having similar problems?????

Thanks again for the info,

The Telarc setup appears to be in a motel room, no? The position of the amplifier in front of the air conditioner register may be purposeful.

Telarc was actually the first place I heard of Threshold. In the liner notes from Empire Brass' "Class Brass" is printed:

Power Amplifier: Threshold SA/12e Stasis Pure Class A

This is probably a post-Pass amplifier, but it is nevertheless remarkable for me, because at that time I was keen to find out what all this "stasis" and "class A" business meant. Which is how I got to reading Horowitz and Hill, and Jung, et. al. and building my own equipment.
