| Used Tube Preamp Suggestions i throw in my opinion for the tad-150 signature. they can only be had used, but are a tremendous value when you can find one. unlike some, they have two sets of outputs so you can run a sub from it if desired. | |

| Feds to audiophiles: You're all pirates now i was able to download hundreds of songs on napster before the big change. i found artists i had never heard and bought many cd's as a result.the win win in this is clear to me, however it appears some have very strong opinions against. the reinve... |
