Tube Amp "Ringing"
I use NOS because most of the current production is not as good as it "used to be". Good tubes are the best place to start, and Vintage Tube Services is a good place to get good value tubes. Your amp calls for 12AT7's, 12AX7's and EL-34's. I don't...

Paul will be back on the "pages" soon, spoke with him just yesterday... there's interesting news coming ...a CLEANING PROCESS SHOOT-OUT ???...A notable audio critic/reviewer has some interesting observations, Paul is re-locating to MI... (he's OLD... 
Speakers for low power amps?
Don't know if you've made a decision yet, but about this time last year, I stumbled upon a site that offered DIY kits for P/A's, Pre-A's, and an open baffle speaker design that was approx 100 db efficient. I now own the Lady Day's (300B silver ver... 
What happened to AIVS?
I've known and respected Paul for a number of years now, and the move to Michigan must have become more complicated that he anticipated....after all he's a lawyer and probably expected the relocation to proceed without a hic-cup....LOL...I'm confi...

Have known Paul for a number of years and please don't mistake his point blank attitude as in any way showing him as being less than humble. He is very dedicated to the pursuit of high quality sound and has been , as many of us have, "ripped" by o...

Suggestions for someone who wants to get in tubes
Cayin TA-30...just bought one and love it. Had it less than a week and like it more every time I turn it on. I bought it with all the upgrades available (since it was so inexpensive to begin with) and if I had to pay more, I would still consider i... 
System Audio
I have owned I think it was 1130's(3 years ago) the precursor to the 1250's I now own as well as the SA-2K's (pricy at $3,500.00 retail) They sound great but the binding posts are a little weak for my needs...actually broke one off using Virtual D... 
Anyone hear/purchase GMA Continuum 3's?
Something I left out in my diatribe re: the Europas, when comparing them not only to speakers I own, but those I've been "told" were among the best...what the Eupopas were missing was a haze...a veil between me and the music.They were transparent.... 
Anyone hear/purchase GMA Continuum 3's?
I live near Roy in central Colorado and had the pleasure of auditioning the Europas at the factory...a less than impressive place...if anything other than sound production and Roy's enthusiasm counts. Roy's shop has the feel of a mad scientists la...
