| killer violin tracks. "Romance of Violin" by Joshua Bell - I think this is a great violin solo CD for classical music newbees (self included). Qoute from NRP: "Joshua Bell plays a Stradivarius violin built in 1713 that's been stolen a few times in its storied past. On ... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite: I know you mentioned in one of your earlier posts that the Kenrad Blk-Glass(6sn7) worked best for you but have you tried the TungSol (6sn7) black-glass in your setup? I wonder how they perform (sound & microphonics) against the kenrads... | |
