| ls FM radio even listenable any more? Lou here, and in Philly, FM is alive and well, at least for me. The 2 college stations, Temple (WRTI 90.1) & UPenn (WXPN 88.5) are what I listen to most. 90.1 does classical all day & jazz at night. 88.5 does an eclectic mix of new music &... | |
| put tube amp on to shelf of a rack The link shown in your post is not enough space between shelves for all those tubes, IMHO. Even with fans I wouldn’t do it. Get yourself a separate amp stand if you want the amp down low, but heat rises, so I’d personally have the amp more at eye ... | |

| Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist? Iso - agree with you 100 here. If only George Carlin & Don Rickles were still alive. What if they were all audiophiles, Archie, George Jefferson, and Frank Lorenzo? Jefferson would have the B&O system and Frank Lorenzo would have a Lin... | |

I got the original large Mod Squad Tip Toes many years ago to place under a B&K ST140/McIntosh MC225/B&K EX442 Sonata and Music Reference RM5 mkII preamp and was a believer. Let a friend borrow them and never got them back.i was working se... | |

I agree with the above on the Odyssey Stratos, my friend has one and at 150 wpc it sounds great.B&K EX442 Sonata, 200 into 8, 360 into 4, 75 amps peak to... | |
| Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices? I disagree, one of the enticing things about tube gear, besides it sounding better, IMHO, is the nice glow of tubes, and the cool retro way it looks. Why would I want to hide the most appealing qualities of a tube amp? We are all entitled to our o... | |
