| Is Rap a valid musical form? Of course it is - It's every bit as 'valid' as any other musical form or genre. May as well ask if rock music is valid, and I know there are some snobs who think it's not, but I couldn't care less what people like that think about anything. I hav... | |
| Tube phono rec’s for AT Art9XI - Allnic, Modwright, Luxman… I've got a Herron Audio tube phono preamp, and it is SUPERB!! | |

| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes @femoore12 - Indeed! I've got PLENTY to say about politics.... just not on audio forums. | |
| Turntables that are still made in Japan? I've got a Technics SL-1200G that was built in Japan, though I'm sure that Malaysians can do just as good a job under Technics supervision... | |
| Album Reviews @sbank - Another Stranglers fan - YES!!!! | |
| Are tubes psychological? @oldhvymec - That's Quay Lewd, dude! Yeah, I've seen the Tubes loads of times here in San Francisco, especially during their earlier days in the 70's... Got some great photos, too, but I don't know how to post them on here without a URL.... |
