Sorry,I never have heard of it.

No luck,Speaker works didn't have a glass for the 6100.I was surprised because they do lots of parts for macs and marantz.Good luck to you,Kenny. 
High End Amp Price Collapse musings
Granny,I'm glad to hear you are really enjoying the 2170.I have that one on my list to check into I haven't seen much info about it though.Do you have a dealer close or were you able to listen to one before buying?Best,Kenny. 
LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps.
Lance,Thank's for the update,I still have the AHB2 on my short list.Would you put the AHB2 as being neutral or on the slightly warm side of neutral driven by the MZ2 in your system of course.I ordered my MZ2 with the linear pwr supply and it looks...

Did you try audio classics by chance,sometimes they have parts like front glass that are hard to get.We have a local vintage speaker and electronics repair business near I could ask them this week.You do have a ma-6100 Intergrated?Kenny. 
Tekton Double Impacts
Teajay,Thank You for the very well explained magic of the DI's midrange and high frequencies,You nailed it perfectly.They easily rival any speaker I have ever owned or heard with all the qualities you listed,I'm just simply amazed every time I lis...

Mac,Looks like you have some very good tubes coming your way should be a very good combo.I'm anxiously awaiting my MZ2,I already have plenty of excellent tubes to roll.The MZ2 must have one heck of a glorious single watt.Enjoy the music,Kenny.

Zavato,The one for me was a very good condition and local Marantz 8b all original including the tubes for 1k.I've had a couple of 8b's over the years and I really don't want another one but that would have been a great deal,What was I thinking.Kenny. 
Ear plugs for live musc.

Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
Most have moved on from the job,I don't think it would be that much more neutral than a F7,could be system dependent though.You got to remember that the job is a very high gain Amp,10db higher than the average of 26db for most solid state amps.The...

Parasound vs Primaluna vs Alternatives
Whacky,I also own DI's and with the exception of using a tube preamp I mainly use solid state amps.Even though prima Luna makes a good amp they mostly use Kt88 or el34 in a push pull topology and in my opinion they will never sound like a true sin...
