Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers?
Nice thread. I will be in the market for one in the future.  
300B SET or EL34 SET
Check out Audio Mirror 45watt SET mono amps. 6C33C tube based. I have these and really like them. In my system they brought a whole new level of performance and refinement. You can roll input tubes to customize the sound and the power tubes are in... 
Looking for inexpensive preamp
Ooops! Thx for correction. Tubes on the brain! 
Looking for inexpensive preamp
More robust and full sounding, and better even at low listening volume. It cost less than my other preamp also which was an added bonus. Then again, it is all about component synergy. 
Looking for inexpensive preamp
Try a used DeHavilland Ultravalve. Check out Kara Chaffee’s Dehavilland website. For years I had a greatly reviewed and very popular tube pre which met my needs. Bought a used Ultravalve and it truly took my system to a different level. Warm, deta... 
Take a tour of Nelson Pass’ listening room
Thank you for the link. Simply awesome and very insightful!!  
Eddie Money has passed away
Over the last couple months I had watched a few episodes of his tv show with his family and I could tell he was not in good health. He was open and honest about it. One thing for sure...he loved his family, five kids and wife. And he got to perfor... 
Do you guys like Adele's music?
+1 on Imelda May “Flesh and Blood”. Ladies like her underrated, and under appreciated. No marketing machine behind her I guess. Only heard Adele once, did not care for it. I like female singers though. Joni, Sade, Dinah Washington, Aimee Mann, The... 
VPI Cuing arm falling too fast
Thanks to all for this, particularly @dodgealum.  I had a Scout 1.1 with the damped, long and thin lever which I liked, then got a Scout Prime with the short, mechanical, be very careful lever. Wondered what was going on....I think I am used to th... 
Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?
+2 for prof.  
Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise...
@tooblue - you are most welcome. Two other blues rock lps that are recorded great - full, organic, live in the studio sound - are Robin Trower’s “where are you going to” and “closer to the day”. After all these years the man still gets a ton of so... 
Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise...
Go to Acoustic Sounds website. Get Diunna Greenleaf direct to disc recording. $10. Sells for $20 or more elsewhere. Limited length lp, but well worth it. They have a whole line of these recordings. She stands in the middle of your speakers and sin... 
Great musicians who should have been famous except....
Bobby Caldwell. If he wants to listen to a good hard rock drummer get him the self-titled Captain Beyond album. Super playing on every song. Jack DeJohnette, very musical jazz drummer. Many great ones already mentioned here, in many genres. In lis... 
Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?
Speaking of Italian Prog...did u sell any Perigeo? I have 3 lps by them that I enjoy. @gosta - thank you for the suggestion, but I am set. I agree totally that discovering new music is a huge part of the hobby and a large part of my collection was... 
Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?
Will never sell my vinyl. Been collecting since I was 15. I am 64. Over the years I sold a few out of my collection to used record stores for store credit, which was twice what cash value from store was. I also have a great CD collection, but I am...
