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...

Well that sounds pretty nice then, I hope he lives a good long time and gets to watch his kid grow up.

Wow that is truly sad man and kind of out of place for a concert. But I guess he is just that kind of guy everything in his life and on his mind is right out there. That is why I prefer my musicians to if possible never speak i.e. The Grateful Dea... 
Better sounding after 1 hour
I would agree with Elizabeth but also slightly disagree I think this effect is more noticeable with tubes after about 30-60 mins. At least it has been and continues to be with my gear and gear I have owned previously. 
Music suddenly sounds wrong, no dynamics
Sorry but what does 'lamps may fall out at times mean'? Sounds to me like it might be gravitational and not electrical. 
Steve Earle
Hey man I'm glad and sorry given the brevity and obvious enthusiasm of your post I couldn't resist. Big Steve Earle fan also, though I find live he can get a bit full of himself and his politics. 
Steve Earle
Um, have fun. And thanks for sharing, I was wondering what you were up to tonight.
