| 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 ... | |
| Does anyone have experience to relate with the reissued Telefunken Black Diamond tubes? @bikeboy52 , I sort of remember reading here that Tube Depot’s matching might be questionable. And they do say in their email that they sell in matched quads, so I guess if I want a couple of sextets I’ll have to call them. I also went to Viva’... | |
| Music Machine I though that this was a given. But I asume the point you want to make is that you believe that not everyone enjoys the world's music the way that they are supposed to? | |
| Music Machine I think we’d all be happier if we regarded our rig as a music machine that can magically capture all the world’s music. I am not even sure what that is supposed to mean. |
