Your First Vinyl Album.
I can't remember the name of the record store, but it was Jimi Hendrix/Rainbow Bridge. I think I was 9 y.o. 
Can anyone identify this...
looks like it...beautifully modded stuff... 
Rogersound speakers?
I'll soon be getting a pair of RogerSound Lab CG-6 speakers, which I understand is a later model of RSL speakers. They look very nice and well built. Does anyone have experience with this model?Thanks. 
Name your favorite sax solo.
The late Grover Washington Jr / Live at the BijouThe Crusaders / Scratch..."So Far Away" is it Wilton Felder or Wayne Henderson who holds that one note like forever.Gregg Allman / Laid Back..."Queen of Hearts" 
Movies that featured High End equipment
Just saw "The Conversation" with Gene Hackman. Looks like he had an old mono tube system, a Scott mono tube amp with globe 6L6's, an old Thorens or Rekokut TT and a single mono speaker, maybe a Tannoy. Anyone else ever see this movie? 
Integrated amp under $ 500.
It all depends on what you have to do. I imagine the Duevels like a lot of juice, and if you had to go into an integrated for under $500 - I'd second the Acurus DIA-100

basement renovation - ideas?
There is a very cost effective product if you want to crank up the music and don't want to hear it on the first floor of the house. Green Glue. It comes in large caulk tubes and you put it on between 2 pieces of 5/8" sheetrock. You can certainly u... 
tube info needed
I 2nd Solo's comments. If you want to tube roll, start with the 6sn7's. Changing the input tubes will make a much larger difference than the output tubes. 
can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss?
For me, every time I have SS gear, I either find myself either changing gear a lot or not even listening to it at all. But whenever I've had tube gear, I go many years without a single change in gear - which says one thing to me - I can't be happy... 
Best Neil Young Album?
duh, I meant "Time Fades Away" not "Tonite's the Night" 
What is the one CD you can't find?
Gregg Allman/Laid BackGil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson 
Solid state amp/Tube Preamp. Possible?
just like Missioncoonery, I too ran with SS amps and tube preamps for a long time and never gave thought to impedence mismatching...it always sounded great...the tubes added that extra warmth, I highly recommend the combination but in the end, its...
