Secret messages on LP's?
Jimi Hendrix. Forgot the album. Song may have been 3rd stone from the sun. Play it on 45 or 78 rpm for the message. 
What piece of music can you play over & over?
Who else but Mozart? JOHNNY WINTER. ROCKnROOOOOOOOOLLLL!!! 
What time do you wear?
I got a Rolex Submariner 18k and SS Blue dial. Love it. Also have a Breitling Professional w a UTC. Great watch also. Oh well, I guess I can live without the Wilson Sophias for now. 
High efficient speakers
Klipsch 
can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss?
Don't do it! There's no reason to jump off a roof. The best TUBE equipment is better sounding than the best ss. More attention to detail when they are built. Good Luck. 
What is meant by IMPORT?
I'm with Audiofeil, only 4x mo money. 
Cary V12 tubes...whats best ?
I have a Cary V12R w new EL-34 Ruby tubes. All matching. Cary SLP98P Preamp new w/ stock tubes. I sold 7 signal processors when going from SS to tubes, and no longer need them. Ask Gerald Walsh of Cary Audio for advise. BTW YES, you have the bias ... 
Using CD player without Preamp?
No. The best preamp is no preamp. The only thing you may be missing is other sources of music. Phono, tuner, tapes, equalization. If you're happy with your system, save your money for more music instead of electronics. I myself, like all the other... 
Johnny Winter better than ever
I hope nobody thinks I was slamming Johnny Winter. Some places just do not sound good and I've even heard him tell the guy working the mixer that the music was too loud and got him to turn it down. It's just too bad he still doesn't play Chuck Ber... 
Johnny Winter better than ever
I have seen and heard and have almost everything Johnny Winter has ever done and sadly say he ain't got it no more. I guess I just got spoiled the way he used to rock&roll. Now it is just blues. Too slow. I'm a Bluesman is a great cd. I think ... 
i have a mcintosh mc275 what speakers to choose?
I went to a dealerships after hrs party in Nov. A lucky customer won a Mac275 thru a raffle. It ran very cool and was hooked up to Wilson Sophia II's. In the other room I heard the top of the line B&W speakers 14,000. with tweeters that cost t... 
McIntosg 7270 VS Meridian 557 vs D-125 AR
I had a McIntosh 7270 for 18 years, hooked to a Carver C-1 pre, then got a Cary SLP98P tube preamp. There were 17 components hooked up w/ 6 speakers and a sub. The Mac never had a problem driving anything. I only sold it to get a Cary V12R tube am... 
Pre-Amp Help
I have a Cary SLP98P hooked to a Cary V12R. NO problems. 
I need an economical but good phono preamp?
Carver C-1 MM and MC. Used. 
Blowing Fuses
My Cary did that til I replaced the tubes. Since you already have, try taking the fuse (s)( that are being blown) out and putting it back in, then start the amp. It worked for me. Preamp on first then amp on. Amp off first then preamp off. Hope th...
