| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. I have never really listened to Elvis Costello. What would be a good album for me to start with, to get the gist of his style? Thanks | |
| 1990 Radio Shack catalog I might be the only one, but there are times where I still miss Radio Shack. You never know when you are going to need a 1 1/2 amp fuse or a lit push button switch. | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @deep_333 So sorry you can’t enjoy music in you car anymore. When I’m mowing the lawn, music through the earbuds does make the time go by. Or when I’m in my car, I still tap my toe and slap my thigh to the beat, but I definitely prefer listeni... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Three of your four videos came up as unavailable 🙁. Guitar in the wind, was the only one that made it. Oh and it’s excellent 😁 | |

| 8 ohm nominal impedance/4.69 ohm minimal impedance--is this a bad load (on paper)? Impedance varies greatly when driving speakers. So for the Revel dropping to 4.69 ohms is really no big deal. It’s when a speaker drops below 2 ohms you might have a problem. Both my Hegel and my PS Audio amps have no trouble handling 2 ohm loads. | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics As I have said before, I bought the preamp used. The original tubes that came with the preamp were Gold Lions and are supposed to last 2000-4000 hours. The new tubes that were in it were12au7’, PSVANE and the new tubes in the boxe... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics Hello, The seller says the tubes in preamp only had a couple hundred hours on them and the hour meter in the preamp confirmed it. He also said that the other four tubes were new. When the first tube started clicking, I swapped the... | |
