| Johnny Winter better than ever I saw him less than a year ago and was shocked at his physical condition...he must be deaf too...he played so loud I couldn't even hear the drums! We left because the music was so over the top loud and distorted....big disappointment. | |
| Basic electrical questions. optimum setup is one dedicated line for digital or turntable and one for the amp, rest of gear etc. 20 amp lines are best. use of a power/ line conditioner depends on the quality of your juice but generally will help if you get the right one. surg... | |
| i have a mcintosh mc275 what speakers to choose? what does your dealer recommend?

| Speakers and Tube Amps a tube friendly speaker is one with stable impedance such as 8 ohms nominal and efficiency of 90 or greater. Tube amps do not like speaker loads that dip into the 2 and 4 ohm range since they don't have the high current output of sand amp designs.... | |
