| If you could bring back one great artist that has One way we might still receive something of the better part of Johnny Cash as artist/conservator of traditional American music would be for Rosanne to record a second installment of "The List". | |
| Good budget tube amp? Ditto, Mezzanine, on the loudspeakers! As to these specific suggestions: If you get the ProAcs or Vandys at the right price, you shouldn't have any problem at all reselling, if for some reason they don't suit your own situation. For Zu, please do ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? You wouldn't be funnin' us, would ya, Dawgbyte? We have "Dawgs" here in Northern Ohio that wander in from the hills during football season. The team, especially management and coaches, as you've probably noticed, is persistently sad-sack. The colo... | |

| Good budget tube amp? Sabocat59, I'd be curious to hear how this not-so-common (in contemporary gear) front end compares in sonic characteristics to those of today's more familiar circuit solutions. Can you compare pluses and minuses? And what tube complement did you c... | |
| How hot is pure Class A solid state vs. SET? The First Law of Thermodynamics -- Conservation of Energy (as Al's practical example implies): All the energy you draw from the wall -- as consumption by anything in the chain, including the Romex inside your walls (see below)-- is going to end up... | |
| Music Format, too many? which way to go? Hey, G. -- '[Cross]Wired' magazine had an article on cassettes coming back -- highly in vogue in some circles -- just last month! | |
| Music Format, too many? which way to go? ONE POINT regarding things DOA, G. For those who are only boogie-ing on the crest of the wave, also DOA -- or roadkill in the rear view mirror -- will be much of the truly worthwhile music. Excuse the mixing of metaphors. I will also not be waitin... | |

| Phono pre-amplifier Interesting about your good result with the Lehmann, Marty. Just as a matter of satisfying my perversely persistent curiosity, did you ever get to hear one of those cheap Lehmann clones from eBay? | |
| which budget preamp? That Minimax deal was EXACTLY the kind of thing I had in mind in making my lengthy point about audio budgets. Bet I know who DIDN'T get it. And that's too bad. | |
| Music Format, too many? which way to go? Not for awhile, G. But back in the day, those 125kps MP3's and Appleseeds were not exactly competition; since, to reinforce your point, I had NO intention of ever PURCHASING obsolescent media -- particularly that which I dislike -- except under du... | |
| Good budget tube amp? BTW, thanks for your very gracious compliments! One more point: This audio business is a funny thing. Sometimes things that just "shouldn't" work manage to sound better than, as some say, "they have any right to". Other circuits and executions loo... | |
| Good budget tube amp? I very much take your point on the Concertina, Trelja, but here's the rub: the Concertina, or split-load style of phase splitter & driver, really is not properly used "naked" driving a Class AB output stage, or with any sort of output stage wh... | |
