| Most musical S.S. Amp under 2k used ? not to hijack this thread, but I think that's an interesting list as well.. which of these amps would everyone consider to have the reputation of being "tube-like"? | |
| Recommendation: Gould Well-Tempered Clavier LP set So, with the earlier Columbia recordings, were they released in both stereo and mono? For example, Dave Brubeck's Time Out: Take Five, there are two versions, one with stereo at the top and one without. In general, is the stereo version more desir... | |
