| 2000 or less : best choices for mains? If you have the slightest DIY in you look at a Northcreek Kit. The Rhythm speaker is nice. Or go to Madisound Speaker Building forum and do one of the kits you run into there. From Tim Murphy or one of the better builders at Mad. They will blow aw... | |

| Suggestions on integrated tube amps? Audition the Audiomat Arpege (EL34s). It comes in used here at Agon from $1200-1350. Excellent sound. 30W per channel. A friend has one on a pair of 90db (close to yours) sensitivity speakers (Northcreek) and it's very nice. Do buy used. Only thin... | |
| Antique Sound Lab: Problems with ASL reliability? I agree with Meby. I had an AQ1006 for a couple months and thought it well put together and generally nice. For the $$ you can pick them up here at Agon they are a steal. I have never looked at their big PP amps so I can't speak directly to your p... | |

| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio Here is Lynn Olson's description of the 1980s. Has a familiar ring."The Gatekeepers (www.aloha-audio.com)1980-1990From the perspective of an outsider, the Eighties were not the best decade for audio.

| What's your favorite album cover art ? Try the book "Blue Note the Album Cover Art", all album sized. If you like classic jazz it's great. | |
