| Any JBL L150A users out there? The manual for the speakers lists the finish as "oiled walnut" and the grills came in three different colors.I suspect that these have been doctored.That would certainly reduce the value.If the speakers are in great shape,not needing any re-foamin... | |

| Your favorite 5687 tube in the Modwright 9.0 SE? I substitute a pair of Bendix Red Bank 6900 tubes for the 5687 tubes in the Modwright Phono amp.The tubes are expensive and not easy to find, but the results are a greater depth,presence and read very deep into vinyl reproduction.I would imagine t... | |

| Cat-proofing your speakers... I would suggest "inna gadda da vida" on repeat would provide protection. | |
| Underrated jazz greats There is not enough time and not enough space to pay tribute to the legion of underrated Jazz artists.Not to mention underpaid.This list would be a very long one and never be complete.Great as a noun,as in "importance or distinction in a field"Her... | |

A further look into the Spectron manual revealed that if you run this amp unbalanced the gain will dip to 26 db-a perfect match for the Mcintosh in unbalanced mode.They are both in Harmony now and the listening test lies ahead.A few hours today re... | |

| Duke Ellington question... 223 recorded versions from 1940 to 2010.For the ultimate tribute to Harlem,check out the work he simply called,"Harlem".Duke recorded it several times,notably with a large orchestra added to his band on the "Symphonic Ellington" on Reprise and sev... |
