| I am sad I’ve never understood why some folks feel the need to make unempathetic and judgmental responses. It’s kind of like when we all get together and have a good time tying witches to a stake and lighting them on fire or the alternative sport of ki... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Watched "Child 44" yesterday. Very well done. Stars Tom Hardy. I did a google and it looks interesting. It appears as if I can get it on Peacock, so I'll probably give it a look. Texas Killing Fields was a movie that I enjoyed enough to watch... | |
| Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ? Vintage used could be $100 each, but if you wanted to match dozen EL34 tubes..that would be a problem. And, yes, you couldn't be sure in advance of significant improvement. Well, vintage tubes were not created equal. Actually I would need two ... | |
| Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ? Back in the late ’90s I was running a Cary SLP-90 with 12au7s in front of a pair of ARC VTM-120s that were configured with four 6550s a piece with some 6922s in front of them. I talked to Andy in Michigan and he sold me some NOS Mullard 12au7s f... | |
| Finding this… Good deal on finding it. I am happy for you. Some of that stuff can be pretty neat to listen to. I remember back when I’d go to the CD store every Saturday and I’d browse the aisles and see some stuff that looked to me to be obscure. Once I pi... | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? Another incarnation of @jerryg123 is back using an assumed name and account and this is part of a sting operation. | |

| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? I got a ’69 Chevy with a 396 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor She’s waiting tonight, down in the parking lot Outside the 7-Eleven store Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch And he rides with me from town to town We only ... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts, man I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand But there's one thing I know for sure, girl I don't give a damn for the same old played-out scenes Bab... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Here in North East Ohio, back in 1803 James and Danny Heaton found the ore that was linin' Yellow Creek They built a blast furnace here along the shore And they made the cannonballs that helped the Union win the war Here in Youngstown Here in You... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Born down in a dead man's town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground End up like a dog that's been beat too much 'Til you spend half your life just to cover it up, now Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A.... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night With bruised arms and broken rhythm in a beat-up old Buick But dressed just like dynamite He tried sellin' his heart to the hard girls over on Easy Street But they sighed "Johnny it falls apar... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely Hey, that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @testrun , I am not attempting to be sarcastic, but if all you are using the remote for is the preamp, how could it get much simpler? I mean it has an up or down for the main volume knob and that's all that applies to the preamp. | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @testrun , don't you have the factory remote anymore? @jaybe , I had sworn off Cary myself, but then this preamp came up on their preowned page at a price I could do, and before I had sworn Cary off, this was a pre I had heard great things about ... |
