Is Goertz still the choice for Magnepan?
My idea of moderately priced would be something along the lines of Goertz MI2 or 3, Kimber 8TC, or the JPS Labs you mentioned (about $500-$600 for an 8' pair). Right now I'm using cross-connected Belden 89259 cables, but at only 13 awg, I wonder i...

Airplane trip with turntable...
I carried a McIntosh MC-225 tube amp on a flight one time from Atlanta to Philadelphia in 2008 or so. It was in a "custom" cardboard box with a lot of duct tape all over it. Very shady looking, but I had to go with what I had on hand at the time. ...

Found good & affordable amp for Magnepans
You actually leave your tube preamp on 24/7? How long do the tubes last? 
ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?
Most important is to get rid of the cheap bandaid .01uf bypass cap at the output if ever there's a mod attempt and you are using a premium cap there.Do you recommend replacing the cheap .01uf bypass cap with a premium cap or just leave it out? 
Com'on...confess..........
Pops-Phish has definitely released albums on vinyl throughout the years. Today, you can download every one of their live shows (recorded by the band) shortly after the performance in 16 and 24 bit as well as lossy formats if you're into that sort ...

Phish "lawn boy" excellentPops,Do you have the recent Record Store Day release or an original pressing?
