| Zappa? I grew up on FZ & saw him 5 times. Saw some of the greats he had in his band..Napolean Murphy Brock, Captain Beefheart... It's a crime he died so young. It's also a shame that his "hits" that went commercial painted him differently in the publ... | |

| McCormack DNA-2 vs DNA-225 Hmm..thanks, I stand corrected. I thought the older & newer models were more similar, but after searching a bit(more)...I guess not so much. The built in mods on the 125 & 225 was the core of what I was after. Thanks.>DNA-500 >500 wa... | |
| Think I'm going to try tubes... "I know it's possible"I think it depends on what you expect to get out of the new system. I currently run a modded Jolida 502B (60 watts) into a 90db sensitive, 8-ohm pair of speakers. I've also hooked this amp up to 87db 4-ohm speakers. In both c... | |

| Does anyone like vintage speakers? Newbee,I don't want to hijack Mechan's thread, but I guess I've wondered the same thing as he has though never actually formed the question in my head. For me, vintage would be from about the mid 70's up to, maybe the mid 90's. A 20-25 year old sp... | |
| Does anyone like vintage speakers? Newbee, So your saying that regardless of the quality & design of older speakers, they can not 'compete' with modern speakers? Assuming the foam surrounds on older speakers are addressed (i.e. updating any mechanical or age flaws in older spea... | |

| Jolida JD 100. How does it sound? Mine is stock & running Raytheon 5751 blacks...love it. I've also tried the GE 5751 3-mica blacks & they were very nice too. Originally I picked it up with Mullards in it...I like the 5751's better. Tighter, better bottom end. |
