| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state I'm a 'tube' guy or at least have been for 25 years or so. I've owned AMC, Counterpoint, Quicksilver, Sonic Frontiers, Niteshade..... I do agree with the comment *special* fuzz on the peach quality regarding tube amps. However, as I get older I wa... | |
| Stereo preamp upgrade If you can stretch your budget a bit a TAD Signature 150 would be a great choice. I recently acquired a N.E.W. P3 (made by Cary) for $525 and I'm very happy with it. With quality NOS tubes it equals the VTL 2.5 preamp that I had. AES also made my ... | |

| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? I'm having pair of speakers built using the same drivers as the first generation Usher 8571. The cross overs are of the same Usher design but use higher quality caps, resistors. I had several discussions regarding type of music, room dimensions an... | |
| Thrift Store Vinyl Finds I dumped my 20 or so albums 25 years ago. Then one day, a few years ago a new neighbor had a tag sale so I figured I'd use that as an excuse to stop by and introduce myself. We'll, I shelled out $20 and came home with 450 albums. About 1/2 were Di... | |
| Good budget amp for Mirage M1 A used B&K amp can be had for that price. Also, for a few hundred more you could get a new factory direct Emotiva amp that has serious watts/current. My friend has one powering Maggies and it sounds very nice for the price point. Will run the ... |
