Powersnakes power cords
Echoing Mega's thoughts, I can appreciate your opinion and the general manner you spoke, which was honestly. Trying to distance myself from my appeal for PowerSnakes, I believe that all your implications are unfounded. Not absolutely sure of your ... 
What's your profession? Age?
44, Artist. System retail cost 22.5k-While I've been in this hobby for 25 years, over the last 5 years I've completely upgraded my 10 year old system. Replacing EVERYTHING at least once but other than power cords never three times. Finally arrivin... 
How much does your system retail for?
22.5k, but that is always changing as new pieces come and go; some more expensive, some less. What was the motive for this question?

Kweifi-about your Sonatas and 2a3 Fi
LaK> The Moth Si 2a3 is rated 3wpc. Yet I've read, or heard from end-users that it is a very robust amp, that puts out a BIG, meaty, ballsy sound with killer bass. Sounding more like a 15-20 wpc amp. We'll see, thats why I'm mating the two; to ... 
NOS 2a3 tubes
Edle> Thank you for your sharing your experience. I've batted this around (like all changes) quite a bit, having received replys that it could work, will work, won't really work the way you want; that if you push the amp too much you'll lose th...
