There's the stock set, the NOS stock set (used only for special occasions), the current production repro of NOS tubes fo... | |
| need more inputs & outputs to run tape machines Your amp has three full tape loops. Why not use long interconnects and have 3 tape decks hooked up at a time?

| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: Another vote for early Bee Gees. Some of the best pop tunes of that era. | |
| thinking of downsizing If you're going to stick with the 275/Merlin combo, then consider one of the single chasis Mac preamps (C-52, C2600). | |
| I'll Take "Songs About People" for $200 Barbara Ann Feldon is not "Barbara Ann"? Her birth name was Barbara Ann Hall. Are you also saying she wasn't the original inspiration for Annie Hall? Next thing you'll say is that she didn't win the grand prize in 1957 "The $64,000 Question".PR... | |
