Review: Dynaco Mark IV Amplifier
I have yet to burn mine out, using it almost ten years and it was old when I got it. problems in other components (these are, after all, vintage units) can stress the power tranny ya know. with all vintage stuff there is a risk of failure of compo... 
Review: Creek OBH-12 Preamplifier
absolutely right, no gain in this baby! if your source's output is too low to hear well or, god forbid, drive your amplifier you need to a real pre-amplifier, not this variable resisitor with switching...good point. best regards, tony

Review: Creek OBH-12 Preamplifier
yup, you got it. I needed some more control flexibility and, god help me, tone controls so I moved on. but that little Creek still amazes with its simple purity of design and implementation and transparency of sound. regards, tony

Review: Klipsch Klipschorn Speaker
for Jim and Sal,These are the kind of speakers that make owners evangelists! Though I have not sold my HT setup I am sure that a k-horn based HT would be incredible! Like Sal mentioned, I have yet to hear any other system that can get as much qual...
