Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?
Bloody transistors age too, and well-made tube amp should last for 100 years with maybe couple of repairs.I don't like only two things about tube amps - bad tubes occasionally blowing up and running out supply of good NOS tubes. I am sorry, I don'... 
Replacing generic RECEPTACLES
How do you people deal with vibrating wires in the wall ? You think it's nothing ? There is an external vibration and vibration created by the current.Just don't respond to pseudo-scientists and they'll give up. Everything makes a difference, only...

acman3, I said that ? Right, now I remember. Yes, Rollins is irrelevant. Armstrong, Davis, Mingus, Coltrane are very relevant. Tony Williams too. Peterson is probably the best jazz piano player, I do like him more than Monk whom I don't care about...

None of the above. Depends on a woman, I might even sing myself.The Inner Mounting Flame and Visions Of The Emerald Beyond are better than Birds Of Fire. Three Japanese copies of each, but I have rare Japanese pro of Birds Of Fire. Best cut there ... 
Want to try separates, what to expect.
