| Best rock song of all times I'm with the last two entries... Revolution by the Beatles. Lennon nailed it. A best rock song in any ones book. But Lindisfarne, I'm surprised, nothing from "Nicely Out of Tune"?Happy Listening! | |

And only to add for clarity sake that you are talking about the DSD remastered Abkco records, correct? Yes,... | |
| How do the Electro Harmonix 6sn7's sound? Dgclark0007, To answer you on the thread and we can talk more about it off line I use both Sovtek 6AS7G's or Svetlana 6H13C with the flying "C" for my power tubes. Cheers! | |
| How do the Electro Harmonix 6sn7's sound? I just picked up a set of Sylvania 6SN7GTB's from Andy Bowman of Vintage Tube Services for thirty-six dollars each and they were tested as new by him. Very nice stuff for the money and Andy is the best vintage tube guy I know. | |
| How do the Electro Harmonix 6sn7's sound? Jppenn, Do yourself a favor, you don't have a huge tube roll here. Don't mess with the non NOS tubes. It's a waste of time and money. Go for the old valves. Experiment a little. For me all of the Sylvania's the W(40's), GT & GTA(50's), and GTB... | |

Tried many vintage tube rolls with a variety of Mullards, Amprex orange globe and Bugle Boy, Telefunken ribbed a... | |
| Need a warm speaker for a bright room Equipment changes to "fix" room acoustic problems will eventually lead to dissatisfaction... my recommendation is to correct the problem, you must fix the room. Acoustic room treatment is one of the most highly underrated equipment upgrades. Don't... | |

| Andy Bowman of Vintage Tube Services Sometimes he is pretty difficult to contact given he is a one man operation. Keep trying, if you don't already know it... he is the best! Few folks know as much as Andy has forgotten about vacuum tubes. The day when Andy is no longer selling tubes... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? ... In the way that many felt the lose of XTC for what they once were when they made "Skylarking" of 1986 with production by Todd Rundgren (personally IMHO, one, if not THE crowning achievement of their carrier) many may fall away from the Lips no... |
