Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
Why is everything always "in decline"? Why is there constantly a "conspiracy"? BTW I am using quotation marks to be extra annoying. I look at the choice in high quality gear at various price points, a wide multitude of musical formats, and the wid...

Dynaco Stereo 80 Tube Amp????
Wow sorry about that how embarrassing. I didn't look closely enough and assumed they were all talking about a tube amp. It even looks like one. Glad Joe was able to help you enjoy your amp. 
Recommend a tech for Sun Audio?
Now I might be wrong but is Sun a second line from Air Tight? Not sure why but I feel like I remember that somehow. If that's the case then Tom Tutay in Fl would be the guy as he is the US Air Tight service tech. However as Coolhand says any compe... 
Dynaco Stereo 80 Tube Amp????
Um did you try google? I just googled Dynaco Stereo 80 and a ton of stuff came up. Give it a try.

Cymbop you should also read my linked thread it should help your problem also. I think. 
Audio Note M6 - dark and thick sound ?
Pani I used to have a Graaf GM50 and it needed to be serviced a lot. The tech told me that Graaf amps run extremely hot and so parts wear out pretty quickly. It sounded good and looked great but I ditched it because it was less than reliable. Can'...

Squeezebox dropouts - another question
Mabonn yes I have streamed 24/96 files fine. I stream a variety of wav and flac files with no dropouts whatsoever. 
Squeezebox dropouts - another question
Mabonn I just went through the exact same thing with my Duet and have a thread posted here, http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1365269626&openmine&zzJond&4&5#Jond but the upshot is this, Squeezbox will not do 5G onl... 
Anyone try purple and orange with green CD edge?
Swanny why would this not make sense? A cd player uses laser light and light is either refracted or absorbed by various colors so it's not a stretch to think color treatments might have an effect. Not going to bother trying it myself but I don't d... 
high power tube amps vs ss
Woah guys, I think my last post was somewhat misinterpreted. First of all by ignorant I just meant ignorant of NOS tubes which I basically am, so I was not being defensive nor did I take offense at anyone's comments. I am sure I could easily be sp... 
high power tube amps vs ss
Schubert point taken and the reverse holds true as well. Maybe I am satisfied because I have really not delved into NOS tubes and so don't know enough not to be satisfied. I concede that is entirely possible but I am happy, and less broke, in my i... 
high power tube amps vs ss
I will have to disagree with Schubert on EL34's, at least in my amp and my system I have had good success with both Electo-Harmonix tubes and the Mullard reissues. Both cost much closer to $100 a quad then $3-500. Of course my amp is not high powe...
