| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Reb, I have in the back of my head that sometime soon I will sell off 1 pair of my speakers and maybe a second string pair of amps and some other extra stuff to help finance the high eff. tube amp setup that I have been wanting to try for quite so... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... BTW, Thanks for sharing hte whole ordeal. WHen teh day comes for me to try out a basic tube amp, it might well be the AN. The cost for Digital Pete's build over teh kit could turn out to be quite worthwhile, especially for someone lacking time and... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Reb,I'm glad it all worked out as it should.There may be some lessons learned here for AN Kits in particular.You mentioned during the build as I recall that the build documentation was new or still in some unfinished state. has that been resolved?... | |

| the most underrated 33 1/3 in history? Capital learned their lesson about how to promote new groups in teh shadow of teh BEatles then when "Get The Knack" came out a few years later. Here it was clear the group, also very talented, was not The BEatles though teh album cover was based o... | |
| the most underrated 33 1/3 in history? As I recall, the hype about them being the Beatles when the first album was released was spontaneous and grew organically but was not initiated by teh group or Capital records. But once it achieved critical mass, capital chose to ride the wave of ... | |
| the most underrated 33 1/3 in history? I like the entire Klaatu catalog. Yes it is derivative but what music isn't? No one album is top notch end to end, though all are well done. Hope is a concept album and plays best end to end. If I had to pick one, Hope is the one. Love teh album c... | |
