What is the best place to buy tubes?
Try Leeds Electronics in Brooklyn, NY. You can find them on the web. What I don't like about Upscale is that they charge more if you didn't buy equipment from them. At least the last time I checked they did.

Which 6SN7's for Rogue 99 Pre
My Magnum came with Electro Harmonix tubes. Think it was 3-4 years old when I bought it. (store demo) Guess they switched. The EHs aren't that bad for new stock. Not as quiet (or detailed) as the Sylvania NOS in there now, but not bad. I know from... 
Do you "treat" your speakers rubber surrounds?
You mention not to use Armorall, but Ty from Tyler Acoustics told me that using Armorall every so often is OK for the surrounds. I haven't used Armorall, but if I was going to treat the surrounds I would use 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's mainly u... 
worst 'long-lived' band
My vote has to go to The Stones. Emotional Rescue is probably one of the worst songs ever recorded. Was given some tix a few years ago to a show at The Garden. Watching paint dry would have been more exciting. Keith couldn't even pull off the solo...

Wow, didn't think I'd get peoples feathers ruffled over this. I actually took digital pictures of the sleeves and emailed it to A. Sounds. That's when they gave me the RA. I placed a few LPs in the sleeves, inserted them into the jackets and a few...

They're poly-lined paper sleeves. Appears to me they weren't glued correctly. 
How much money for your next interconnect cable???
As soon as I get a decent commission check I'll be purchasing my second set of Ridge Street Audio Design's Poiema !!!. The first set is between pre and power amp, next set for CDP to pre. The cables are over $400 for 1/2 metre, but my search for c... 
Speakers for $140 or less
I have a pair of Infinity RS-4b's. Original retail over $1100. If you can pick up in NY, I'll cut sweet deal. Had them listed here, no local buyers. 
what would you get for 1000$ ?
I'm enjoying my MMF-7. For the amount of time I listen to LP vs. CD it's perfect. 
infinity rs1b's speaker jacks
If you have one set reversed you won't get bass, that's how you can tell if they're both in same phase. FWIW- I have a set of RS4b's and the red is on the right. I would just hook both positives on right side, neg on the left.
