| Does a component stand impact the sound I had the same Target 5 component stand and upgraded to a Equarack. The difference can be judged just like any other upgrade, quieter backround is what you will notice especially on vinyl. The backround hiss on my reel to reel did significantly di... | |
| does tull qualify? To me Jethro Tull set the standard for Rock & Roll in the early seventies. Starting off as a blues band with the influence of Nick Abrams and turning it into as Gilman61255 puts it " come together beautifully " one of the most progressive band... | |
| Where do I go from here? I am suprised that nobody above said turntable. This would be the best upgrade that I can think of. 800 would buy a decent table & phono pre that would and many sonic benefits that cannot be attained with better cables, better CD player etc. N... | |
| Tubes... what do they do?... I would say it is a matter of taste what different types of amplification moves you. I would say tubes lends a small degree of realism to the reproduced music. You can mention that you have a tube stereo to average individuals and you will be look... | |
| Jethro Tull Mick Abrams was the 'blues' driving force of this band. While the uniqueness of listening to a flute did account for some wonderful rock, I miss the old days. They did some nice stuff afterward, Broadsword, Nite Cap, Songs from the Wood & the ... | |
| Best Live Shows 2006 ? Usound & Dweller, sorry for the delay in an answer. The new guitarist to TYA is a youngster named Joe Gooch. All the three others were the authentic crew. I just went to amazon.com for the name and there are some good reviews of the CD. | |

I will not go as far as saying that I would never listen to SS. The SS amps that I heard at shows are truly excellent, however he non fatiguing s... | |
| recommendation for turntable vibration damping I did it with an old Michael Green AV clamp rack. What I did is discard the middle shelf. In between the top & botton shelf I placed two large hand selected cinderblocks,some cut 2X4 wood planks under & above the bricks. Using spikes &... | |
| Tube integrated amp suggestions for Proac2 I am running my Proac response 2 with an old Sonic Frontiers 80 stereo amp using KT-90s. You will need a good amp with a KT-88- 90 output tubes push pull or ultralinear with at lease 60 watts/ channel. I will also suggest a subwoffer that would ma... | |
| Jethro Tull I really hate consistently bringing this up but many Tull albums are aviable on 4 track open reel. The Magtec brand is far superior than anything out there even at 3&3/4 IPS.Passion Play is a Magtec at 7&1/2 IPS. Outstanding. | |
| Jethro Tull Tull has two boxed sets, a 20th anaversary and a 25th. the five best IMHO, Stand Up, Benefit,This Was, Night Cap(import) and Broadsword. Living in the past was also one of Ian Andersons greatest accomplishments. It is a shame that he has lost his ... | |
| Best rock song of all times All this and not one mention of the Cream, Sunshine of Your Love. Or....Funk 49 by the James Gang who by the way I just saw. | |
| Discontinued components that you wish the manufact How about a Grundig monoural radio with the fake wood grain front. Great telescopic antenna. A rich warm sound that ran only on batteries. What I would really want to see back in production are 2 & 4 track tapes, best sound ever. |
