| Zappa Recommendations ? Zappa's "Blessed Relief" is, in MHO, simply incredible. Also "Twenty Small Cigars" and "Big Swifty" are Zappa at his most genius. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) I have used the deHavilland Ultraverve 6sn7 based preamp for at least 10 years. Over that time I have had the preamp's designer, Kara Chaffee, mod it with Dueland silver point to point wiring and Dueland premier capacitors. I run this preamp into... | |

| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with As has been mentioned by several others, Bryston is an amp that punches above its weight (however it is heavy). Either the Bryston 14b3 at 600wpc or the 4b3 at 300wpc are wonderful units...and with the very best warranty in the business. Their U... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? DeHavilland Ultraverve. An excellent 6sn7 based tube preamp. I use mine with a Bryston 14b3 as amp. | |

When you first get tinnitus, for whatever reason, it can become very all-consuming. My next step will be to go to a hearing specialist. What I worry about the most is having t... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world You mean like the time I swear I levitated while listening to Surealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane in 1966! | |
| Religious music for less than devout john Lennon "Imagine" | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? My vote is for the Ultraverve also. I have had mine for about 12 years and, as a result, have tried an amazing number of different vintage 6sn7’s. There are at least a dozen really good ones...each with their own personalities. That said, each o... | |
