| Review: 47 Labs Gaincard Amplifier Since you asked...Actually, I Have put the GC up for sale, although all I get is questions about the mod... The Gaincard is truly a fine piece, with no negative transistor artifacts, such as grain or pinpoint (as opposed to 3D) images, with all th... | |

| New to Opera, have some questions I totally hated opera until the Three Tenors Concert in 1990 was aired repeatedly on PBS in my area as part of a fundraising campaign. The quality of the performances and the camaraderie of the performers swayed me. It must have been a wonderful e... | |
