What is your idea of a Perfect Album?
Back To Oaklnad by Tower of Power for me is the be all and end all. Not a mediocre tune on it. 
Any good Contemporary Christian recordings
Try these:"Try" or "Ten Thousand Days" by Bebo NormanWarren Barfield's debut album 
What's the funniest song you ever heard?
My two favs are:"Let's Get Mesolithic" and "Tommy the Canexican" both by Eddie From Ohio on the "Quick" CD. 
$6-7k to Spend on Turntable
If you ARE looking for an SME 20, I just noticed an SME 20/2 for sale today for $7,950 with an SME IV.vi arm (which you could easily sell for over $1000 thus getting this in your price range). I am an SME 30 owner but have no idea what an SME 20 s... 
Review: Aesthetix Callisto Signature Tube preamp
J. D. Thanks for your thoughts and a nice review. Keep looking until you get that Callisto (they do come up for sale used). They are special units (pure tube design and great parts quality). I have an Io Sig and it is extraordinary. I have a c-j A... 
Your choice for SET amp?
I agree with Herman. Your digital front end and those amps are top shelf, world class stuff. My opinion is that, as good as the dB-99s are, set up properly and mated with those incredible Lamms, the Duos will leave the dB 99s in their wake. More d... 
suggestions for a headphone amplifier
Of course this is only MY opinion and based on MY tastes, but I have tried a TON of different headphone amps and the BEST I have tried with my Senn 600s and 650s is the Moth Audio S2a3. E-mail me offline if you have any questions.Frank 
ASC tube trap: which's reflect or absorb side?
Do your traps have a small silver button (maybe 1/8 to 1/4" in diameter) on the bottom at any point? If so, that is the middle of the reflective side as I understand it. I have the Super Traps and this is how mine are. 
I have problem with my Tenor150 - advices welcome
Paul,I wish Tenor was 30 miles from my home. Ya know, what we really need to do is put this all in perspective. Not for a second do I think ANYONE should ever feel sorry for me (or almost any of us on this forum) because my multi-kilobuck componen... 
I have problem with my Tenor150 - advices welcome
Thanks Mqg30. Glad to help. I talked to Stephan (the main tech at Tenor) last night and I can assure you, they will help get you going again. Stephan is a class act, a staight shooter and all around good guy.Although I can understand somewhat what... 
I have problem with my Tenor150 - advices welcome
Howie brings up a good point. If ONLY a tube is bad (as opposed to a fuse or resistor in the audio board which took out a tube), then it could explain the intermittent noise and why it gets better over time. Clearly, it is in your amp as that expl... 
I have problem with my Tenor150 - advices welcome
It is in the audio board - trust me on this one (and it may have taken out one or more of your tubes). It is not a difficult fix but you will likely need a Tenor tech to help you. 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
It's nice to see the support for people in the industry. Tenor did a hell of a job with the 75 OTL and then tried to get the 300 watt hybrids going for people with more difficult loads before things went south. As an owner of Tenor, I can say that... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Sirspeedy, YOU SEE, there IS at least one advantage of owning a 635 lb. speaker!!!!! Hell, if you can carry that insanely heavy SOB out and load it up before I either shoot yer sorry butt or call the Police, more power to ya!!This is also where my... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Sirspeedy, no offense taken. Honestly, I am a MUSIC lover first (as a former professional musician whose career was abruptly ended by an accident) and I also confess to having developed at an early age an infatuation with the equipment that delive...
