| Greatest Composers of All Time Chayro. well said and I agree almost totally, except I think paying for those who can't pay for themselves is a requirement of a civilized society. | |
| Preamp for Odyssey Khartago Dynaco PAS 3 a good match for this amp.Eastern Electric mini-max does as well, shows up around that price on here sometimes. | |
