| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? For years now I have used a grounded powercord w/my tube amps & used an ungrounded cord (cheap but very effective Volex cord w/the grounding pin cut off) on my CDP. The CDP is still grounded thru the interconnects to the amp & provides qui... | |
| Street musicians Ted Hawkins, RIP...great soul/folk/blues singer. thankfully he was discovered & recorded some great albums. Try "next hundred years" for a great listen. | |
| Best 80-100 w Amplifier Available Under $4k Used? consider the Music Reference RM 200-T available here on a'gon right now. Great sounding, reliable, dead quiet, long tube life & doesn't draw much power. Review available in Stereophile Dec. '11 issue. No affiliation w/the seller of this unit -... | |

| Old tapes reveal how BAD FM became so true gumbygdammit...you reminded me of how much I miss the spontaneity of music on the the FM album oriented stations of the 60's & 70's. Hell even tv was free back then as long as you didn't mind getting up to change the 13 or so channels ... | |
| Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? go w/the Cary like dan says...i've owned or tried in my system the arc vsi55, rogue cronus magnum, mac 6900 & a couple others that escape my memory at the moment & the sli80 is vastly superior. enjoy! | |
| How Do You Pronounce Thiel? have you noticed around here 'base' & 'bass' is pronounced the same? think i'll go smoke some freebass now | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? great, one of my fav trumpet players. If you like Chet & you havn't heard Chet Baker Trio, Chet's Choice (1985) w/Phillip Catherine on guitar you're in for a treat. I just discovered it & it's been one of my recent favs. | |
| guitar solos where less is more great Autumn Leaves, thanks Dracule! | |
| guitar solos where less is more JJ Cale...any album he has put out. | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k I'd give a listen to Coincident Pure Reference Extremes if I had that kind of bread. Very efficient & favors tube amps. | |
| "Hidden Gems"' sorry the Kenny Burrell mentioned above features Coleman Hawkins not Turrentine. | |
| What do you like in an inexpensive tube integrated listen to Danlib, sli80, we know | |
| worst cover songs..... Any of the smooth jazz radio station covers you hear of classic songs. I just heard Crazy Love by Van Morrison the other day that really got under my craw. | |
| Cary SLI-80 Tube Fuse? I've once owned that amp (great btw). The a/c fuse is adjacent to the power cord IEC. As I remember, it's a small plastic door/cover that pops open w/a small screwdriver & the fuse is held in place horizontally & I believe there is storage... |
