Drjjpdc,If you have been a Quicksilver fan for long then you probally know that most of the amps are self biasing. A tube rollers dream!88 
Tube newbie - recommendations?
I agree with Drjjpdc. There is just something about the Quicksilver sound that is different from any other push-pull amp I have ever heard. Quicksilver amps also alllow you to roll many different tubes in them, which many of the big name amps don'... 
Phase Linear
Wow! A mixed bag of opinions. I think Bob carver made his bucks when the money was easy. Now I see his stuff ( Sunfire ) at places such as Circiut City, and these people are always telling me it is the best. That's becuase they have never took a t...

Sit,The good Yamahas seem far and few, and I'm getting kind of jaded on the integrateds and I still have a Marantz on the way :) But who knows? Maybe I will happen along a Yamaha. Any particular model in mind?Oh, the Sansui just keeps sounding bet... 
vintage tuners
Actually guys I think most of you missed the original intent of the post. What I was curious aobut was the signal change from analog to digital. I know many large radio stations are gearing up to brodcast in digital. I know that the FCC is plannin...
