Budget Tube Amp (newbie)
x2 bdp24....I've owned an assortment of tube amps including the Rogue Cronus Magnum and the RM10 like bdp24 just scored here is so superior it's not fair to compare the 2 - if the amount of power suits your setup.  Don't let the low price fool you... 
Most annoying song, period.
"Does anyone remember "Feelings" by Morris Albert?"Rockysantoro - I think you just knocked it out of the park w/that one.    
The best music in 2019
Yola, Walk Thru Fire 
Who remembers audio from the time when ...
dougsat the Spectrum in Philly brings back some good memories I think my ears are still ringing from seeing the Who there in the mid late 70's.  Growing up with the all in one setups in the 60's turntable folded down speakers uncoupled.  Early 7... 
Custom Cable. Please Help.
agree w/erik above....I've had JPS re-terminate some Super V speaker cables for me and they made me a custom PAC lite power cord that would fit my amp.....great company and service - you know it's done right. 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives last night at a small venue the Reilly Arts Center in Ocala, FL.  Fantastic show of true musicianship.  
Most annoying song, period.
freaking Kansas Dust in the Wind or Queen Bohemian Rhapsody....the local YMCA often treats us to classic rock radio at the outdoor lap pool blasting over the blown speakers...turns a morning meditative lap swim into a tedious SOB but we're all hel... 
Need Some Tube Amp Advice
I saw a review of the Luxman EL84 integrated on youtube mentioned above and the fellow said paired w/Forte III's it was the best amp combo he'd heard.  I think the Music Reference RM10 for sale here for a mere 1200 would be great and dead quiet as... 
Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
what kind of speaker cables are you using?  I about roasted a Classe CA200 20 years ago using Goertz spkr cables.....caused the amp to oscillate and overheat....can't remember what the tech explanation sorry  
Favorite cover?
Grant Green, Moon River...or for that matter any of his many great covers 
Tube amp forethought
+2 for the Music Reference RM10 MkII.  I've enjoyed one as my primary amp since 2011 w/no issues - in fact never shorted or even worn out a tube (knock wood).  I swapped tubes a couple times to hear if they were wearing out and had them tested.  B... 
Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button?
after many years of $wapping cables of various brands ie Cardas, audience, acoustic zen, supra, crimson, straight wire, goertz, clear day, VH audio, signal, probably a few others....I landed on a full loom of JPS Labs which sounds great and got me... 
Perhaps not esoteric or "fringe" but the Chester and Lester album can bring pleasure
yeah good one whatjd....I also like the Chet & Jerry Reed album and the Chet & Merle Travis ones enjoy! 
Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As
Hello bigkidz remember way back when we both had Talon Raven C's w/Pass Labs X250's....there's a pair of Tannoy Kensington GR's here for $8k that might fill the bill.  I got Stirling GR's and am smitten, great w/tubes! 
Great musicians who should have been famous except....
I saw Little Feat live in Baltimore before Lowell George passed - man what a show - they were my favs back then still have all the albums w/Lowell.  Also saw the great Roy Buchanan live a couple times in the DC area.
