| Grant Fidelity Amplifiers Mickeyf: Thanks for the heads up. That teflon cap thread is a little disturbing. Never knew very much about GF as I never purchased anything from them but alot of folks seem to be gaga about the Treasure tubes, I found them to be a little pricey a... | |
| Grant Fidelity Amplifiers Not quite sure what the "All marketing spin" quote is supposed to mean either. I've never heard the amp before and was merely steering the OP to a review of the amp over at AA of which I have absolutely no affiliation with whatsoever. If you read ... | |
| Grant Fidelity Amplifiers Someone recently reviewed the Rita over at AA and had nothing but high praise for it. It certainly seems like a steal at it's current pricing but I believe the caveat is that it comes with no warranty, but don't quote me on that | |

| magnestand owners I heard both the 1.6's and the SMGA's at Pete's place about 5-6 years ago and would have bought a pair on the spot if I had the money. I actually prefered the SMGA's to the 1.6's excellent speakers for sure that easily compete with speakers costin... | |

| Are Monoblocks better than Multi-channeled amps?? Mordante: I would like to hear a quality integrated some day as I'm aware there are some fine ones out there but that being said I have some reservations about any integrated in the $2000.00 price range sounding better than my JWN Eico mono rebuilds | |
| Are Monoblocks better than Multi-channeled amps?? Integrated amps as monoblocks? | |
| Tube Monoblocks in the 5-7K Range Do yourself a favor and reach out to Jim Nichols from JWN amps and have a custom pair of monoblocks built. I doubt you'll regret it | |
| Is there really a need for panel speakers in 2012 If you have a dedicated listening room great, otherwise most planars, electrostats are butt ugly,have a serious SAF, and just don't blend with most decor | |
| EL 34 Amp Recommendations Jim Nichols from JWN amps could build you a killer amp for that kind of money | |
| Thiel Acquired by Private Equity Firm Stringreen: Please explain why this was a dumb comment? There are countless examples of vulture capitalists, PEF and hedge funds taking over companies loading them down debt, and deleveraging them all the while extracting enormous management fees ... |
