Who is this song by? Forever, Forever
Brian: One thing you might want to do is go to the All Music Guide (www.allmusic.com) and search for that title under the text search and under song. I received 13 entries. Thank Albert Porter for this great site. He turned a few of us on to it se... 
Under 1k integrated recomendations
I hate to introduce budget tilt but there is an Audiomat Arpege (integrated tube EL34) for sale here for $1250 and it's a wonderful amp. Might buy it myself. Take a lookSincerely, I remain 
Power cords
Well I don't know much about fancy violins but I have a few old Gibson and Martin Geetars and it's pretty clear that nobody is able to duplicate those for several reasons. One is that the wood is no longer available for the most part and the wood ...

Faraday cage - suppressing stray EM fields
You have to love the variety of posts at Audiogon. Back to back posts today, one is asking which side of an ac plug is hot and the next post is hyperphysics. I am not certain I understand this question as asked or if I am simply to stupid to under...

Bottlehead DIY pre amps
The foreplay is nice @ $150. Easy to make. Good education if you haven't done stuff like that and great support from the Bottleheads. I have a friend who has one and it does nice job. The people in charge over there (Doc B, Paul Joppa et al) are r... 
New gears?
