Should there only be one company making gear?
Think about it; If there were no boners, would AIDS be the epedimic that it is? I don't think so. I'm not saying H.T. Boner and his family are at fault, not at all. I do feel sorry for H.T. Boner's children...the 'little' boners. I guess H.T. was ... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
I've been working on a deal with God to take my 300B SET monoblocks into the Afterlife with me. He tells me they got some new 5" digital format that'll make SACD sound like nails on a chalkboard! He wouldn't let me take my LaScala's though...said ...

Seandtaylor99... Though Nrchy may not be infected, if you'd asked that question in South Africa, or perhaps Thailand you'd find that the figures are likely close, if not surpass those you quote for 13th century Britain. I'd hazard to guess that ma...

I was heading over to the Thai joint to pick up some Phad Thai the other day and almost ran off the road going under a highway overpass. There are some large park-and-ride lots that are empty on the weekends, and some group of large armored men (a... 
Tube swapping in amps and preamps
I use WE 300B's and have not tried the new Svet's. As I said, I was only reporting a shootout/review that you can find in the StereoFool archives. In my SET amps I've only tried the WE's, some Chinese (not unlistenable, but in comparison to WE's a...

Museum Replica's is OK...I ordered a helmet as a prop from them once...pretty nice stuff. But selection is a bit limited. As far as helmets go, they ain't got nothing over this place. You will find your horny hat on this page David. Scroll down to... 
Tube swapping in amps and preamps
I'd agree to some extent with Jwaugh's statement regarding NOS tubes. I would add that there are some instances where current production is close enough to NOT warrant the very significant added cost of NOS, not to mention risk if you are not buyi...

Oh man, David, you blew it. I thought we had'em!? That put's you on the list for pie too! Heck, I'd better bake another one the way this thread is going!Marco

Sounds like one of those terrible "Quizno's" subs commercials (don't know if they are nationwide though):In this corner, weighing in at 225lbs., fresh out of doing a dime at Rahway on an aggravated manslaughter charge, we have the current reigning... 
OK Come Clean, whats in your closet ?
Ironically my closet houses my main system...at least the front end and the preamp. I've been lately having to be pretty diligent about getting rid of excess because we're doing a major renovation at our home and I also just recently took on a par...

Hey KP and Slappy- Lets go play on the monkey bars, looks like there's gonna be a fight here in the sandbox! Marco 
Can anyone rec a sound card with optical output ?
M-Audio makes a card called the Audiophile 2496 which has spdif digital I/O as a feature. It's a PCI interface and is around $150 online. You can see it on their site here. No experience with it to speak of. No knowledge of cards with an optical o...

After me and the boys are done with Slappy, we'll head on over to Nrchy's place! We got plenty of that Whoopass pie to go round. Don't worry Nrchy, it's low-fat! Can't help with the 'old' part though.Marco 
Should there only be one company making gear?
I feel so, so, very small! What have I done?! Slappy, you have shown me the error in my ways! I am SO TERRIBLY SORRY! Your words have mvoed me to an epiphany! I don't quite know what it is, or what it means, but I had it. I think I saw God, and he...
