| Decware zen vs mc30/mc60 how do these compare? They are way different Mac vs Decware. The MC60s will put out close to 90 watts. Two versions too. One with a choke the other is all tube rectified. IF the right guy builds the Macs there is nothing like them, if not well they are 60+ years old. ... | |
| heat Silks in the summer and leave them on or fold them back. The winter is the same way. 50 years next month with Mcintosh. Nothing better.. If I have the cages in place I’ll leave the silks in place in the winter and just flip an end for a little air... | |

It’s also appear that bothers other people.My question is WHY? Why would it bother an individual if someone found a cable performed different one direction ... | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes Gremlin chasers are a bread unto themselves. Sometime they are HEROS. A hero is a guy that MAKES a problem so he or she can be the hero and FIX the problem. A real Gremlin, can't find it.. BUT it'd always simple physics. Water cannot flow up hill... | |

They just need to be well made, if your doing low riders (under 24"tall) a pair of 10" HE reference drivers go a LOG ways too.I'll give you a "Sonic NUG... | |
