Shelf Material - Neuance
Ernie: I have not liked the "dead" sound of top loading my CAL player except with a one thing that I tried recently, by accident. Before I tried books, bags of rice and sand and they all removed the kind of reverb (I think that this is what people... 
Where do you guys buy replacement tubes?
AV: I hear you and don't disagree as that easily could have been my take on the situation as well. But as of yet I am still undecided and as mentioned above it's not the only game in town as I had no difficulty locating quality NOS tubes at fair p... 
Where is the best place for amp s

Mapleshade and Maple Audio Cables
Lak: Any comments on other than the detail of the Powerburst? Thanks. David. Also the MS power cords arrived yesterday (way ahead of schedule) but other than that they do brass cymbals exceedingly well in my system, right off the bat, I will have ... 
Top 10 TV Shows
I just received a couple of negetive votes for my TV choices. It's kind of creepy when you think about it (you creepers out there). Anyway I would like to add "The Rockford Files" but can't think of one from my list to eliminate. I remember being ...
