| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Listening casually to misc. stuff on a "mix cd" while breaking in a new amp.Bones,bones,bones by Greg Brown really got my attention.Tina Turner is fantastic, agreed! | |
| Official Black Friday 2018 Thread Quite a few of the companies that do direct sales are having 10%-25% off this weekend.Just gotta browse and search em out. | |
| Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers? Quicksilver mid monos wit KT 88s will do the job | |

| SET update Welcome to the world of tubes!Enjoy! | |
| Advice on selecting a tube amp I have Quicksilver midmonos paired with the Sunfire CRM2s and am very happy with this combo.I like to listen loud,unlike yourself so the midmonos might be overkill,the minis would probably work well for you.The Sunfires are easy to drive,never dip... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Go for the tubes!CJ products are excellent as are Quicksilver.You may,as Charels1 says,immigrate over to the dark side and fall in love with what tubes bring to your musical enjoyment. |
