integrated suggestions
thanks for the advice!

Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Jax2,I find your sarcasm both annoying and refreshing. An oxymoron I know. But life is an oxymoron, or better still a paradox. Yet I continue in my passion, and also my obssesion to find the truth.The fact that you choose to use profanity is of co...

Slappy,The point is this: There is good tube gear out there, and these sales people at your local retail stores, and electronic ignorants ( who are educated beyond their own intelligence ) are living in the past. They are still giving us the same ...

Power Cords Snake Oil ??
Corona,I'm assuming your referring to the good folks at Conrad Johnson when you made the statement below?"Circuit heads" don't "get" physics. I deal with these guys all the time; "Conrad Johnson is not my favorite audio gear, but I have listened t...

Cary SLI 80 stopped working
