I sold something, and delivered it, to a guy who has a pair of these www.magico.net/product_reference.html he said they weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 lbs. I can't find any specs on their website.

Ldatlof-What difference are you hearing between the Tele 12ax7s & the Sylvania 5751s? And how do they compare to the stock tubes? 
Need help with Grado 325i vs. Senn 600's
I've listened to both and to me the Sennheisers were too laid back. Especially for rock. They just didn't have the slam of the Grados.On the other hand, I don't think you'd find anything more comfortable than the 600's.Both will benefit from an am...

MSB Link Dac 3- have modded or go Benchmark ?or?
I don't know if he even mods the MSB, but I'd get in touch with Paul at Tube Research Labs (TRL). He modded my cd player and the difference was stunning. I know he does DAC's also and most(if not all)people are very happy with the work he's done. ...

If the info doesn't get from the front end to the amp, you won't hear it from the speakers. 
Which is more important, spkr. or intrc. cable?
