Tubes and Rock and Roll, Can they go together?
B&W 805s will not give you the bass you want for rock music and you'll need a sub.I think the combo you will really like is Mac and B&W 803D.This system will play anything from classical to jazz to heavy metal. Go to Stereo Exchange in NYC...

musical drummers...who are they ???
Eric Montzka(Patricia Barber band) and Lars Ulrich from Metallica are probably the best drumers I heard on recordings and in live performance.Eric Montzka's drumming on Companion, track 7 - "Black Magic Woman" is just outstandning.Lars' drumming o... 
Anyone Heard Herbies Interconnect?

Latest update.....I've heard the CJ CT6 preamp with sony ES sacd player and I did like the sound. However, I also noticed this clicking when changing volume. I guess it's the relays that CJ uses. Nothing you can do. I also verified that my cd play...

Hey, my amp is getting better and better......Howard, I changed the AC Mains fuse in my amp to Hi-Fi Tuning fuse. Very nice tweak!!! Definitely worth the $25(despite that it sounds crazy to pay this much for a fuse). I want to try these fuses in m...
