| Billy Cobham Question A couple of months ago I saw Billy and his band with Randy Brecker et al and they were great...I’d seen a couple of Mahavishnu shows years ago and Cobham was and still is a powerhouse drummer. Go see ’em! | |
| tube rolling with Schiit Freya + The Had amps are somewhat "exclusive" (and based on what they are, a hand made technical masterpiece) as they simply show up on Ebay whenever he completes one, and they're all over the map...2 to 4 watt triodes, higher powered triode amps, pentode... | |
| Should I sell my accuphase for this schiit The Schiit return policy is 15 days. | |
| SET vs Class A vs tubes vs Class AB amps Although the Schiit Aegir stood up well in its shoot-out with my little Firebottle HO SEP amp, it ultimately lost and sadly was sent home to Schiit. Nice try though and it clearly is a great design, but the Had digs deeper, sounds more like real m... | |
