| Beatles "Butcher Cover" on Antiques Road Show A.R.S. is infamous for their over-inflated price estimates. Remember, they are a TV show, need to bring viewers in with something. most of the time their estimates are high, sometimes by more than 100%. YMMV. -Ed | |
| Looking for a tube DAC. I found the TriVista rolled off in comparison to the RAKK DAC or the internal dac in the S9000ES. using coaxial RCA (not that it matters) for digital sig. transfer. still, not a bad DAC, but the RAKK seemed better to me. -Ed | |
| Sony XA7ES to replace Ahh Tjoeb The XA7ES kicks the ass of that puny ah tjoeb noisemaker. Let's see: Sony's statement redbook player that sold for $3k, or.... a bottom of the line marantz piece of crap with some ho-hum tube distortion stage tacked on as a way to sell more (price... | |

| Monster Power vs Panamax Conditioners Better off getting something that can handle some real current. I had a HTPS7000 but it's only good for about 3A of balanced power - not much, definitely not enough to run amps from. I'd suggest something from Equitech - 1.5Q or 2Q. a 1.5Q will ru... | |
| Svetlana 572-3 tube---Still available? It's likely not a typo. There were 3 versions of the tube, 572-3, 572-30, and 572-160. The second number specified the mu (Gain) of the tube. on the -3 is useful as an output tube. All 3 types are no longer made, AFAIK. These have been in short su... | |
