Unreal prices
mahgister, I'd bet that when we owned and enjoyed what is now 'vintage' (and most of us now having become 'vintage' as well), the means and methods to attain that true potential was unattainable or unaffordable.Awareness of 'how to' may have been ... 
have you ever bought stereo without listening first
Once upon a time, no.Of late, yes.The overall quality of the majority of equipment has risen to the point that only 'nuance' has become the variable.  Generally, the space it exists within has become the major issue...But I can't hear dog whistles... 
Wow an old album that rocked your world

It happened again tonight
I was 'into jazz' back in the mid to later '60's.....junior high into high school, while others were all about the 'bubble-gum' pop music...Coltrane, Mann, Gillespie.....names since faded from memory, but re-aligned my ears until the shock waves o...

Who's Gone Topless?
glupson....sorry for the late reply....The example was circuit breaker panels in 100+ ambient summer temps outdoors, being pushed beyond their amperage ratings....the fans simply bought some time....But the same is true for amps....the 1st 'US Fes...

Who's Gone Topless?
In the meanwhile....use some nice, quiet computer fans.Y'all note periodically how your amps of whatever format create enough BTUs' to act like space heaters....I've noted that the backs of the magnets on my speakers can get hot to the touch.  Now...
