Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
Sean's World Dot Com!!!! Dude, that's 'audiorific'! He could follow it up with his very own local cable television program from his basement! Wonder if he has a bud that can be his Garth? Perhaps his brother. His dad can come in for guest appearen... 
Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
Feed those theoretical rugrats some ground-up dishonest dealer. After you chop'em up into manageable parts, just shove'em in the meat grinder, dump that in the blender, bottle it all up, add some carrots and plenty of sugar and you got some good e... 
Which Quicksilver to buy
No David. Most are PP amps. If you want more extensive information on any one of them give Mike Sanders a phone call. He is pretty brief on emails and takes a while to reply sometimes. My ARC LS2B sounded great with my Mini Mites. Not sure, but I'... 
What do you look like?
OK, so now we're putting the cards on the table. The best pictures of me are with my wife, Shaun, since I'm naturally happiest with her, even though she is the big "W" in the "WAF" that I'm constantly having to deal with.....so, it's worth it for ... 
Which Quicksilver to buy
I had a local metal shop build cages for my Quicksilver amps (see my system page). A bit more expensive but not outrageously so. I very much doubt you'll miss anything about SS going to a KT88 based PP or Pentode amp (the silver 90's are Pentode).... 
What's on your reading list?
Jax is (was 3/6/90 - 6/9/03) the same breed as Petey! Pete the pup was the first dual-registered Amstaff/Pit Bull. Acorging to Ripley's Believe it or Not, the original Petey did have a black circular ring around one of his eyes. The ones that foll... 
What do you look like?
Damn, what a sorry lot of raggedyass eyesores we all are! Cept' of course Slappy and Holzhauer, ooops, I meant Thor and Zeus! It must be a requisite for admission to the ranks of 'Audiophile' to bear some resemblence to the backside of a baboon (o...

I've seen Mt10425 in the flesh.......Be afraid, be VERY afraid!Marco 
What do you look like?
Gunbei, there's plenty of pics of you online. You even have your very own website!!!Me? I look something in between Brad Pitt and Charles Bronson. For some reason folks say I look like a horse's ass. Or wait, maybe they're saying I AM a horse's as... 
What preamp to get to replace my quicksilver?
Don't listen to Mike, you really need to only consider preamps that start at $5 grand and require you sign over your first-born and commit to a ritual sacrafice to the Tube Gods every first Sunday in April. Unless you can afford the price of admis... 
What's on your reading list?
Hey Rufusfolks - I love Vachss writing. If you have not yet, check out his early Burke novels.....GREAT stuff if you like that gritty revenge, anti-hero, moral crisis stuff. I like the way he writes. Check out his site too if you have not already.... 
What's on your reading list?
Who Cut the Cheese: A Cultural History of the Fart by Jim DawsonI also read the back of a can of dehydrated prunes from California just the other day. If you liked one, make sure to read the other!Marco 
What preamp to get to replace my quicksilver?
I might look for some folks using your amp to answer that question as I've found matching the pre to the amp is a very important, make or break kind of synergy. A poor match can make a system you want to walk away from rather than listen to. That ... 
Best Bike to ride before a good listening session
Ouch! Now I feel so "used" and taken advantage of! You mean all these years you've just had me for my...........oh my! And now I've been shamed in public! I'm going out now to find the nearest bridge to throw myself off of!Marco 
Best Bike to ride before a good listening session
Very smooth Nrchy! Perhaps Audiogon needs a "Personal" ads section for the three or four women who actually are active members! And while we're at it, how come you you don't whisper sweet nothings in my ear anymore Nrchy?! I guess I have to go and...
