Rush" DMM is awesome.
Is it better just because it's a NEW LP?I believe we think a new reissue is "better"  momentarily because there isn't any ticks/noises in the quiet passages of an album. 2112 has a lot going on, so if you don't have a near perfect copy, you're gon...

I would love to get the Modafferi MR71 upgrade, but it’s $1K+! It’s the Marantz 10B killer. Equivalent to a turbo/blower for the big block Chevy.Last night, the local PBS Classical played "Halloween-scary"themed pieces, and the sound track for the... 
Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new.
 7DJ8 is another safe swap for the 6DJ8. There are NOS that can be found for sane(under $50) if you do a little hunting.Brent Jesse's inventory is spotty at the moment, but scroll to bottom-USA sectionhttp://www.audiotubes.com/6dj8.htm
