| To Tube or not to Tube, that is the question If the ACA's work with the F6's you might look into the Elekit 6L6 based single ended amp kit. It's well reviewed and still available at various vendors for around $900 (link is for details/specs). Looks like a lot of the amp "kits" are out of s... | |

| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? Look @ Spin-Clean (Amazon has the complete kit -w- additional supplies for $100 right now). I've read about similar (even less expensive) systems, but can't think of the names off hand. DeKay | |
