| Great Organists in Rock If Billy Preston wasn't a Rock organist, "Grits ain't grocery, eggs ain't poultry, and Mona lisa was a man". He was referred to as "The 5th Beatle". Since I've always heard him on organ, I fail to see how anyone could think of him as an "electric ... | |
| First Tube Amp: Advice? Keep spare tubes on hand? I second Usblues, and after you decide how much you like the amp, tell us what tubes it takes. Remember, NOS tubes are a good buy, but must be purchased per Usblues advice. | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? Either Hafler, or Dynaco could be transformed into true "high end" amps by simply substituting their existing parts for the best parts available today. Successful businesses were created doing just that. When "Black Gate" capacitors were available... | |

The dog, in this case, is where the signal begins; be it cartridge or CD. This is followed by pre and amp, and those are items that should be as ... | |

The best used gear has appreciated about 30% since a year or two ago, but it is absolutely a good buy. There is no better indicator of what ... | |
| Analog Gurus - What cartridge after Grado Ref 1??? That hum problem might just be with older Rega's. Since I changed the motor in my Rega I haven't noticed any hum.Grado is the poor man's Koetsu, it's best for jazz and female vocals; not as good for Rock. | |
| upgrading speaker crossovers Replace those capacitors yesterday. Solen Metallized Polypropylene 100.UF 400VDC, 5% tolerance cost $38.81 per cap from Parts Express. | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? While I remember it as "all good", compared to today; that stuff would be junk. | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? I'm still using the the Dynaco. It was a "Quad" when I used it in the 70's. I had it mated with my "Quad" Phase Linear 4000. Since that time I converted it to stereo.Without a doubt I thought everything I had was "hot stuff" at that time. Now, I u... | |
