Jeez guys, I tee'd it up with just the right dose of anarchistic flavor and not one bite. It's tough when when becomes a known quantity... 
Why vinyl?
OH MY GOD, Unsound, we've met in the middle! I saw your post and thought I was in for a real drumming (which, sometimes, I am...). Thanks though.Gosh, really thought I had trolled good on that one...Hmmm, maybe I'll switch to a Mister Twister, or ... 
Why vinyl?
Digital breaks up the unitary spatial perspective into planes, isolates players into "bubbles", effecting the illusion of players playing together, does not replicate infinite dissipation of wave front, nor in depth perspective, nor is foundationa...

Speaker Suggestion for teenage pre-stereophile

Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?
Zaikes, you don't know how accurate you are, and, even worse than that...The ability to structure a paragraph has little to do with it...On Scull, didn't know the guy - he blew out of TAS (an action familiar to many people) - and heard the history...

Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?
I looked back through HP's Hurricane review last night - admittedly I only skimmed it last week - and I am beginning to see what you all are saying as to the unbridled conviction. Stronger than I thought in toto, and particularly up front in the t... 
Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?
