| Help Me Explain Power Cables to my Guitar Friends Hey Crazy4blues An interesting situation that you have. My suggestion when one of these musicians says that they must see scope measurements, I'd throw them a fast ball smack damb directly back at them. Ask them why the "H" do they use a TUBE base... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Hi Nsgarch. Wow man, that sounds pricy. What do they do for the $850?

| FM tuner use in SF Bay area Hi. The Bay area is atypical environment for FM reception. The type of antenna that benefits you is dependent upon the conditions in the immediate area where you live. Due to the hilly terrain, the antenna that works for your cousin in Alameda may... | |
| 6C33-B vs everything else. Jeff. Per your thought that the 6c33c is quite destructive when they failed in your VK60s, and therefore you would not consider another amp that uses this power tube. Certainly any type of problem is a pain in the rear and I am sorry you had a bad... | |

The preamp and phonostage are each 2 chassis units that have innovative power supplies that use a 300B tube as a rectifier. Great build quality, very reli... | |

It is a 2 chassis unit with an innovative power supply that uses a 300B tube as a rectifier. The sonics when used with my Duos were addictively fabulous. Excellent top, bottom, an... |
