"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?

Movie/film suggestions.

Watched on Prime recently  @slaw , I found it on Tubi.  I watched about the first five minutes, and that was enough to be able to tell that it should be dark and funny.  My kind of movie.  I may stay up late tonight and watch it, but if not ton... 
Movie/film suggestions.
I'll see if I can find that one, @slaw , Woody can be very good.  He did an outstanding job with his role in No Country For Old Men.

I'm not a fan of the cardboard digipaks, Add me to that list.  They don't make anything easier.  Personally, I am okay with the standard plastic jewell case.  Even though the plastic often cracks, they still do their job and getting CDs in and ...
