TV power cords; Money well spent, or money wasted?
Good luck. I was just noting that one down-side, other than the cost of the power cord, is the risk as to the warranty. Antenna would not be relevant (know the comment was tongue in cheek) because that was not a supplied product. You could roll th... 
Suggestions for an Integrated Amp $400
I echo the Arcam idea. I'd stay away from Rotel as I've not enjoyed my experiences with them. I thought you wanted tubed amp ideas hence my earlier suggestions.

I use Ultralink on one of my two systems and like it a lot. Good wire. 
What's the farthest you've traveled for live music
London to see Van Morrison and the Clash in the same week. I'm dating myself. 
Manley Stingray Integrated amp.
Was just asking the question rhetorically, given how many customer service complaints anecdotally have been raised through this colloquy. 
TV power cords; Money well spent, or money wasted?
I'm a lawyer. I assumed it would be an issue and sure enough, they'd have the argument. In fact, subpart (ix) would effectively work to void the warranty.You can see why, from their point of view, that would be the case. They can't be held respons...

Two low cost int amps I've seen and heard are the Glow audio tubed amp and the Jolida Fx-10. Both look distinctive and sound pretty good -- espec if using high sensitivity speakers. 
Linn Klimax DS. How good is it?
You'll have a happy ending 
anyone know John Doe and the Sadies?
The band X was the seminal LA post punk band. He played bass. 
Rolling Stones Self Titled Decca Mono LP...
The first five or so Stones albums sounded as if they were recorded in a closet using a 10 dollar mic. It would be interesting to get a sense if the new pressings are listenable. 
Speaker recommendation. have $2,500
Excellent ideas. A few others. Used B and W 703s. They are now discontinued and that's too bad. They sound great and would, I gather, thrive off your amp. B and Ws 6 series line is now Made in China and frankly, in my view, was nothing special whe...
