Patrick,I think you know from my stories how much you have come to mean to me. Though in some ways this has been brutal it has also been beautiful and I feel honored that I have been able to participate in it in a small way. We will all someday tr...

A couple of stories that most likely will have little or no meaning to anyone but me but so be it.As best as I can remember them…….I had traveled alone to a nearby town to attend a concert that none of my friends were interested in. I arrived a li... 
isolation transformer
I use a xentek ultra isolation transformer daisy chained to a MIT dual iso bank in which my TT and pre are plugged into 1 bank and the digital to the other iso bank. I think Seans comments are right on for my experience. Do not plug your amps in a... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
My experience with two Nestorovic type 8 passive subs was:Flatest responce, best sound, was the two subs in the corners but 4-6" out from rear wall and FACING (firing towards) the rear wall. Mile Nestorovic has always said facing the rear wall get... 
How do you bi-amp with tubes and solid state
Faced with a similar situation I purchased a Solid State amp with gain controls. I purchased a Yamaha MX1000. I have owned a number of SS amps some at much higher cost and in my opinion the Yamaha is better than any I have heard so far. A real ste...

It's funny how records are still best.
Yes very hard to find.Some places where I have had success are Antique stores, Vinyl stores, and thrift stores. There is always ebay of course but the thrill is in the hunt!Well worth it though the sound on a good recording is simply outstanding a... 
It's funny how records are still best.
As a fellow vinyl lover I have to agree that the closest thing to the sound of the master tape is open reel. Had a great reel score the other day. Just so hard to find compared to vinyl. 
Is there any way to get into tubes for super cheap
I really like the Jolida to start with but the other suggestions are good too. I started with the Jolida myself many years ago but be warned I predict you will move on to more expensive tube gear. Not because the Jolida is bad but because tubes ar... 
Just got home from a Dylan concert
I'd like to think that he is tired of doing the same old songs in the same old way and is reinventing himself so to speak. I too prefer the songs sang in the old way, that I know and love but, its still Dylan, and he is the legend though I am not ...
