| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? I'm confused. Moderate power tube amp (200-250 wpc)? That's HIGH power for tube amps IMHO.Then you like it soft and wet, yet you want BALLS in the low end register? This seems to be a contradicition.FWIW, here is a couple of recos for HIGH power t... | |
| Why are LCDs more popular than plasma? 11-30-07: AndrewdoanSorry, guys. DLP and plasma are on the way out. Talk to those manufacture reps not TV salesman and see what they say about DLP and plasma. LCD is a way to go if you start from scratch. Look for better contrast ratio and better ... | |

| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I don't think so Pete. Sure it starts out with Willie and Bonnie, and the next thing I know you'll be recommending Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and Pavoratti... :)Cheers,John | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? 11-28-07: PsacanliWomen 'love' music and being 'with' their man. Play em something they like.True, but they love different kind of music. When my wife and I were dating, about 25 years ago, she always commented on how similar our musical tastes we... | |

| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. 11-27-07: TvadRhljazz's VAC Phi 110/110 amp is the Halle Berry of tube amps. Easy on the eyes.I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The PHI series is more like Rosie O'Donnell to me.....butt ugly. As far as the VAC current line goes, I thi... | |
| Phono preamp/stepup recommendations Michael (Oregon), that is not a bad recommendation, though it is in poor taste to advertise in these forums. However, for full disclosure, you should also mention that Thor Audio is in limbo at this time, just in case service is an issue.I am usin... | |
| Rowland Synergy IIi vs BAT VK51se???? Congrats Steve, and enjoy. Yes cables certainly do make a difference, as do power cords. Take your time and experiment.John | |
| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. For those that enjoy the glow of the 'fire-bottles', what is it about seeing the tubes that you enjoy? Does it beckon back to our caveman ancestry of sitting around the fire?Just curious.....John | |
| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. Well I have the opposite problem. While I don't have an issue looking at exposed tubes (it does not excite me either though), my wife does. She never complains about the $$$ I spend, so I do try to make some aesthetic accomodations. I have tubes i... | |
| If you started over what would you do differently? Interesting question Bill. I guess the two main things that I have learned through this journey that I would do differently if starting over are: to be be more patient and to be content with simplicity. Don't lose sight of the goal, which is to li... | |
