Jan 06, 2003	Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Dekay: So many good guitarists; this is why I went the dead guitarist-live guitarist route as you have now down. What a wild combination!

Dec 17, 2002	Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets I don't find what Maxgain is saying hard to believe; it is essentially the same experience as mine. The difference between a stock and properly cryoed Hubbell (mine were treated by Alan Kafton at Audioexcellence/World Power) is the difference betw...
Dec 14, 2002	Opinions of Creek Integrated 5350se If you were looking 6-8 months ago, you could have had an 8000A (the amp that I have) with MM/MC phono, for around $449 when they closed it out. Mine is 17 years old, though.
