Yeah that hazy air in some places with poor ventilation like the old Boston Garden makes it hard to rember the late 80's show (think hat some time around release of movie "Hunt For Red October" beacuise it was fall and everybody had "The Hunt For ... 
J&R salesman says turntables outsell CD playe 10:1
Amazing what some "salesweasels" will say just because they thin k it is what you want to hear so you either buy something from them or they at least plant seed of potential in future.Know I sold Krell,Mac,B&W,Adcom,etc for 6 years and one of ... 
Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system
Surprised nobody mentioned Audible Illusion given it's sales and mpoularity as a loid glass pre.Depoends a lot on how much "bloom" you want.Some tube pre's dont' sound very "tubey" any m,ore.More and more solid state has attributes of tube gear )w...

Krell 400xi or Musical Fidelity A5 for ML Summit?
I owned the 300i and hear the new piece is better sounding and a better value.But really different sound.It's up to you.I think MF will be more fogiving and still have resolution .The Krell will have grip on bass that the MF can't touch but it is ... 
Tube amp for Silverline Sonata II
Why mono blocks?Short runs speaker cables runs?You have decent sensitivity but (like my 94db horn/hyrbrid Odeon Tosca's) it's not say a pair of Klipshchorns or those new Zu Cable speakers).You need 40 wpc minimum .Think there are some choices from...

Sonics of tube modifications from Modwright
Wonder if dealer is just saying this beause he assumes that anything added is and artifact that is is uneeded.Like NR filter (I used to use cassettes w/o Dolby myself).But if you look at the parts used in Modwright or Parts Connection Mods the cos...
