| Taylor Swift Concert Prices There are great pickers & singers in almost every nook and cranny in the U.S. Spent your time and money looking for them. And the rest on a good playback system. No crowded bathrooms. Parking is free and the snacks are at grocery store prices. | |
| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? No one has ever had a discussion this interesting a discussion about MOSFETS. | |
| Do You Clean Your Ears? The only thing you should stick in your ears is your elbow. A good ENT specialist, especially one who loves music as much as you do, is a blessing. I spend more time talking about music with my guy here in D.C. than his receptionist would like. | |

| what to do with a stereo that needs repair Where are you? Pro-Tech Services here in Washington, D.C. does great work, They know how to ship these beasts & can advise you. I've been nothing but pleased all three times I've visited (twice with the same amp - but I dropped it. They didn'... | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? The same as with snooty wine/realestate/spirits/ anything else salesmen. Mutter f+++k off under my nose and go somewhere else. At 74 I'm too old to put up with anyone's nonsense. | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… A couple or three inputs so you don't need a pre-amp. Quality of construction (which does not rule out certain Chifi devices). Warranty and/or a good technician in your area who understands tube amps for when things go south. The efficiency of you... | |
| Tube tester? Very nice and helpful guys here. If you need replacements they can also help. It's best to have a spare set to plug in while the tubes being tested are away. | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Coltrane: Ballads Columbia Hot 5s and 7s. Getz/Gilberto Freddie Hubbard: Blue Spirits | |
| Never heard an amp do this before, ideas? & is it possible this is data from somewhere? Once I worked at a radio station & the chief engineer, no doubt competent in the early 20th century, laid a data line next to a mic-level line. You can guess who won that one. | |
| Never heard an amp do this before, ideas? Do not EVER turn on a tube amp without a load. Misery is guaranteed. | |
| Hum in Speakers with New Dedicated 20 amp Circuit Call a licensed electrician. My brother, the E.R. nurse, makes his living off of amateur electricians and guys whose last words were "Hold my beer and watch this". Make sure the sparky who comes to your home is the license holder & not an uns... | |
| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback The MTR 10 was a great machine. If you can do the work or know a great tech, the Ampex 440 is also great. Stay away from their ATR 700 and ATR 100 series. | |

| Best sounding FM table radio ever made... This, the WFR 28, is terrific. It's my second Sangean product. My brother has another. Their support is spectacular also. Who else do you know with a direct line to the service bench? The price is embarrassingly small for the quality of t... |
