| Svetlana KT88 is good for Power 2? Another option could be Electro Harmonix Kt-88s. Thise are the choice for Rogue 88 owners (they're in the Magnum version). You can get a matched quad for about $100.00. | |

| Power Cord Reco for a Tube Int. Amp & CD Player? Try an AC Master Coupler for the cdp. They pretty much go for about $150 here. You will probably be surprised by the difference. I think that you'll find that there is a greater difference (read, improvement) by employing PCs on your sources as op... | |
| Personal amp evolution I have resisted answering this thread for sometime now because I wasn't sure if I had really found my audiophile stride, but, now, I think that I have: I'm a tube guy. I think that I have always been but just didn't realize it. So here goes:--Sony... | |
| And we strive for..... what ? Zaikesman: Thank you! Music is performance, not product (in the commercial sense). Seriously, do you ever thing James Brown would "fly in" correctives or effects for his performances? I didn't think so either. | |
| And we strive for..... what ? I wonder what effect this thing would have on BB King when he bends his guitar string? One of things a blues player will do is to actually hit certain notes thate are MEANT to be out of tune (e.g., "blue" thirds and sevenths). I would like to thin... | |
| The Shortest Time you kept a new piece for ?? PS Audio HCA-2. 2 weeks. Not a bad amp, just not what I wanted. For me, the Rogue 88 is better. | |
| Pre for VTL tt-25's Well, I reckon I will throw in for the 2.5. I recently replaced the 12au7 tubes w/ some NOS GEs, and I am really enjoying this pre, which, until I can find a pair of VTL st-125s, is mated to a Rogue 88. You can get a line stage on Audiogon for a g... | |

| Best band of the 80's Jazz: Don Pullen/George Adams group. They managed to include the full history of jazz in a single set. For pop, I'd have to vote for Oingo, too. However, I have never understood one particular thing about the 80s: Why on earth was U2 so popular? T... | |
| Basis 2500 speed fluctuations anyone? Bruno: I had an after market power cord chopped into my Project Classic Wood TT, and I plug it into my PS Audio P300 Power plant. That keeps things nice and steady. | |
| Classic rock album covers Gotta love the minimalism of Zappa's "Ship Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch," which, of course, contains the anti-anthem "Valley Girl." | |
| Blues instrumentals? Kana: You raise an interesting point: What instrumentalists "define" blues? See, I'll be the first to admit that, as a technician, Ford is a better "guitar" player, but, even if I were to accept your assumption that "bar-band status" is somehow a ... | |
| Blues instrumentals? Robin Ford? NAW! He's a WEENIE!! Check in w/ Jimmy Thackery's "Guitar"--that's the blues instumental album. Or, you can just about listen to any version of "Paker's Mood," and you'll get the idea . . . |
