| soldering? Metcal and Pace are the best, period, in that order. Hakko is better than the Weller, but still isn't a Pace.You can buy used Pace solder Stations for around $100 on eBay, with adjustable temperature and digital tip temperature readout.Let us know... | |
| Has any one heard Magico Speakers? Boa2,Auditioning ultra high end components usually requires travel. Unfortunately, companies at this level do not have the wide market that companies such as Klipsch. This said, many of us who seek and purchase the ultra grade products often have ... | |

| Has any one heard Magico Speakers? Ozzy62: You should hear them, then make judgements. There are varying price points in everything in life. One can spend anywhere from $1K to $30K for a 2 carat diamond, the price relecting the quality. Some are fortunate enough to afford the highe... | |

| Transistor Research Labs ST-225 Integrated amp Donbellphd: Cool. I have never owned a Ferrari, so I'll have to take your word on it. Which model do you have? As for the TRL ST-225 integrated, at $5500, it should fit many budgets. I've heard Tony's D-225 and I'm not shocked at your impressions.... | |
