Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Aggie, I definitely can't dispute your choice, brother! I guess a better way of me stating my preference is that I enjoy eating both vanilla and chocolate ice cream. But I'll get more scoops of chocolate, heheh.

Slappy,I had a look at your virtual system being that you're an evil SS type and hoping to find pics of some neat gothic/modernist pentagrams in your rug and saw some of the coolest pictures on the 'GoN'.For the next update of my VS I'm gonna get ...

Hours sitting around just listening to music?
Wow, it sounds like our audio sanctuaries are just that. No surprise here I guess. Low light, something to nibble on, sip and read make it that much more enjoyable.Happy listening!

Favorite all-in-one remote control?
I've been using a Marantz RC2000mkII since '98 and really like it a lot. I've never used another brand so I'm unable to make a comparison with the other nice ones out there. 
Hours sitting around just listening to music?
For me it's a weird thing. Because of my work schedule, sometimes I go days or weeks without being able to park my ass in my listening chair. And then there are times I listen to music and read while sitting there from 8am until evening with a few...

Heheh, Slappy, no matter how many people slap you, you can't be kept down!You're right, and I don't get it either, why do so many people need to convince others their own opinions are the correct one. Why does it matter? Listening to music is art,...

I like broccoli.It's an awesome colonic catalyst that's useful while levitating your girlfriend off the bed when you give her a Dutch Oven.If your tube equipment is on while you perform, the extra warmth in the room enhances the sweet aroma. 
Las Vegas "THE" alternative show?
Crapazoids! I was going to stay at the San Remo for THE Show, but may have to cancel my reservations because I'm so damn busy here at work. 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Damn it! After reading Shubert's post I thought there was some new technology that somehow yielded digital information directly from an 8 x 10 film camera without having to scan a chrome or neg. Thanks for bursting my bubble Marco!I'll try to draw...

Thanks everyone for your generous suggestions. I just recived Gary Graffman's performance of Prokoviev's 3rd and enjoyed it on my drive into work early this morning.Now, I look forward to investigating and sampling your other suggestions!! 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
