If you were a Castaway on the BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs what music would you have?
And for some weirdness either LP or CD versions of Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica! Hand out the blotter acid!

Wire's Pink Flag on the Restless Records CD. This I just recently listened to on the JVC N310 DVD player (24 bit DAC). Holy F*ck!

Plus CD's of the first three Jimi Hendrix recordings! The MCA releases will do just fine!

Hybrid Amplifiers suggestions
New York Audio Labs (NYAL) made three excellent hybrid tube/MOSFET amps back around 1990. The Moscodes 150, 300 and 600. 75, 150 and 300 wpc. Designed by George Kaye and built in NY State. I have the Moscode 150. They differ in the number of outpu... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Wire's Pink Flag - Restless Records CD. Excellent! Played on the JVC XV - N310 DVD.  
MC275 Gordon gow
Too much current going through that "red glowing" tube! Shut the amp off immediately!  Not enough bias voltage on that tube! Does each output tube have its own bias adjustment pot? When replacing s tube set these will have to be checked and adjust... 
Pre to meet 2021 goals
+1 bdp24! Along with the SP6 I bought at the same time a D75 amp with new KT120 tubes from a HiFi store in Georgia. I paid about $1600 for both! 
SRV!
The night that SRV died in that terrible helicopter crash I had just come out of a show at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY. Johnny Winter! August, 1990.  
SRV!
I only had time to watch him play the first two songs on the Saturday night PBS Tampa broadcast TV show. Lot of passion and fire in SRV's playing! I rate him and Johnny Winter as the two best white bluesmen of our time!

Audio Research SP6 (I have one). A significant advance over the excellent SP3! The preamp that William Z. Johnson said he'd always wanted to make! I prefer it over the later, more complex preamps from ARC! 
I'm never going to hear a megaspeaker in a good room am I?
Buy a pair of $5K Abyss headphones and ignore the room, except for the decor! 
Cartridge recommendation please...
I have all of the above cartridges in my collection. Including a brand-new-in-box Shure V15 mkV MR (which I'm so far saving for posterity). 
Cartridge recommendation please...
The problem (and it's a serious one) is buying NOS replacement styli for those great old MM cartridges. Because they all eventually wear out and need replacement! Those Pickering/Stanton Stereohedron styli are going to be particularly difficult to...
