| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo All the tracks on Buddy Guys' Sweet Tea execpt the first, 'Done Got Old'. A preformance that could not be topped, or even duplicated. Everybody at that show knew that something special was going on. | |
| Tube newbie - recommendations? There are plenty of hand wired Int. tube amps that are coming out of Agon. For the speaker in question you will require a Push-Pull type of tube amp since its sensivity, I think is betwween 86-88 Db. I think that the push-pull is your best choice. | |

| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment i think that if you are dedicated to this hobby your own system sounds the best overall.

| The differance between MFSL Ultradisc I and II? THe point is that the master recordings will all differ. It would be difficult to compare a UDCD-1 that has been copied from a great 30 IPS, 2 inch Master, to a 15 IPS 1/4 inch tape that used the Gain 2 system. I really like the Moody Blues Gain 2... | |
