| Good sources for tubes other than Upscale I feel for ya...I bought my Calypso from Kevin and although I got a fair "deal" (pun intended) and some additional tubes to try along with the unit at no obligation to buy, he makes me feel very rushed on the phone. I received an unsolicited email... | |

| How do you know if you need a power conditioner? A friend of mine has lent me his PS Audio P300 on three seperate occassions and a large balanced power unit one time.

| Widespread Panic - Their best album? Saw them last night on (PBS) Austin City Limits-didn't catch what year it was recorded in. Great show, unfortunately, the recording was less than stellar. Very talented group of musicians...Chadburr, thank you for the offer, but wouldn't those be ... | |

| Aesthetix Calypso, Tuberolling questions? Barrelchief, in short, the Tungsrams just were not "right" in the bass department. The Brimars were sweet, but too laid back for rock. As kevin at Upscale Audio describes the the GE's as "light and bubbly, like a young blond." I agree with this as... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso, Tuberolling questions? I am using a Calypso with JC1's also. I've rolled Brimar-England, Tungsrams and GE Longplate 12ax7's, all from Upscale Audio. Still running stock Electro-Harmonix 6922's, have not rolled those. I listen mostly to rock, blues and some jazz fusion a... | |
