| Opinions - The Absolute Sound I'm with Tvad. Do you really need someone to hold you hand about a magazine subscription? | |
| Best U.S. made integrated tube amp under $2500? Consider going vintage. I'm thinking of a Fisher or Scott receiver, or an Eico integrated. You should easily be able to find updated/upgraded version of these products at well below your price level. Also consider a Mesa Tigris. Unfortunately they... | |
