Lamm ML1 question
Jtinn-Peace Brother!! No, I do not think that tons of tubes were purposely put away for future use. But there are tubes that have survived time in some radio shop or basement to begin life in a lucky audiophile's system. That doesn't automatically... 
Lamm ML1 question
Shushurin "hand picks" from what is readily available. Rcprince...if you are looking at vintage NOS tubes, here is what worked for me: Telefunkens in the 12AX7 location and RCA black plates in the 12BH7 location. I was running a LL2 pre and Mini U... 
Joseph Audio RM33si & others in the $8,000 range
Mr. Joseph-I will speak for myself here. I can't remember when or if a manufacturer has ever entered into the lion's den here on AudioGon....but I find it refreshing and I would like to say thank you for doing so. Your explaination to the events d... 
Noel Redding
Yes, I read it in the paper. I vividly remember a night in Chicago enjoying Noel, Mitch and Jimi. When they went into "Redhouse" they brought the house down....Gives me goosebumps to this day thinking about it. 
i2 Digital X-60, digital cable
The X-60 comes with two BNC to RCA adapters included in the purchase price so everybody with RCA digital connectors can use this cable. I can only speculate that terminating the X-60 cable assembly into available RCA connectors comprimise its perf... 
i2 Digital X-60, digital cable
I am using the I2 Digital. It is the best I have had in my system. Some others that I have tried were Kharma, PS Audio, Illuminations Orchid, Silver Audio, Mapleshade, JPS Labs, LAT, Marigo, Tact & Audit. There is a few others I am sure but ob...

cary 805 need bias, Help Please
You need to buy a couple of things. The first is a meter that reads DC current and the second is a 1/4" phono plug. To make things a little easier and safer, solder a wire to each of the tabs on the phone plug and strip the free ends of the wires ... 
Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites
Any fans of the "Flock" out there? Sweetwater? Pacific Gas and Electric? Soft Machine? Savoy Brown? 
Center image on left side and don't know why
Hello Pete-I agree with Socrates' solution. I have always found this to work the best. My room is not exactly symetrical and by moving my right speaker an inch and a half forward the phasing locks in. However, I do not find that using a balance co... 
Who is the Youngest Audiogoner??
Hey! I'm old (48) but my 4 year old always says "thumbs up Daddy" when he sees the hand on the home page......he's not a member yet but I think he should get an honorable mention! Merry Christmas!! 
David Berning "Holy Grail" 45 SE ZOTL now exists
What pre-amp/linestage do you use? What is your source? Speakers? Interconnects, speaker cables and digital cable? Near field listening or do you listen in a large room? 
Best blues today
Just went to Google and punched in Johnny Winter to see if I could get the straight scoop on whether he is suffering from blindness or is back on drugs. The mystery takes on another twist.....www.johnnywinter.com "is closed for non-payment" Hmmm..... 
Tube or SS for Sonus Faber Amati Homage
David- You lucky dog you!! Always wanted to own a pair of SF Amatis and someday it will happen. But in the meantime my only advise to you is that if you do decide to go with the big Passion amps, I heard them at GTT Audio in New Jersey and they ar... 
John Entwistle RIP
John will be greatly missed. It is a reminder to me that we are all getting older. Every day we have a new opportunity to leave our positive influence on the people around us....John certainly did. Hey, is there anyone out there that shared the Wh...
