| Good ROCK speakers If you'd prefer something more modern try KEF speakers. I had a pair of Q90's that really liked to be driven hard. KEF called that model a no-compromise design. I regularly blasted mine and never found their upper limits. KEF used to make a big de... | |
| How to clean the exterior of an amp? Ordinary window cleaner with ammonia works well. Splurge for Windex!To actually polish chromed or painted surfaces use a clearcoat-safe car wax like Meguiar's Cleaner/Wax. Avoid grit-bearing cleaners like Brasso and silver polish unless you're in ... | |

| NOS tubes, why can't modern tubes sound better? I heard the wood laid in the canals in venice for at least a century before it was fileted to make the great instruments of yore. For tubes, I'll bet they simply cull fewer of the slugs from each run than they used to. So your chances of getting j... | |
| balanced cables The end of a balanced signal chain compares the positive signal phase to its mirror, and negative phase, and rejects anything else it may have acquired along the way as noise. This technique requires precise circuit matching and costs $$$. To take... | |
