Tequila's turn?
A few years ago I picked up "The Great Margarita Book" by Al Lucero. Al is the owner of Maria's New Mexican Kitchen restaurant in Santa Fe, NM. The book has Margarita recipes for most of the well-known and not-so-well-known brands and types of Teq... 
Speakers as diving platforms?
Paul: Yes, Michael L. of 6moons did one of his Road Tours about my system. It's been significantly improved since the Road Tour via some tweeks, upgraded digital source and upgraded woofer/mid-range driver. The improvement was enough that I asked ...

Playback designs followup?
Playback Designs, darTZeel and Evolution Acoustics. Too much inbreeding here. This reminds me of the "Linnies" of the 1970s and 80s. LinnNaimLinnNaimLinnNaim...  
DIY Anti-IC project
As the "link" between Gary and Paul, I thought I should add my comments to this thread. I have no reason to doubt anything that Gary wrote. OTOH, I thought Paul's response was very reasonable. If you boil it down, I think this discussion can be su...

Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
"Did realjazzcat(aka tubemuseum) rip you off too Tvad? he's the only one I've been stuck by in 5 years of tube buying there." Realjazzcat has ripped off MANY people. He would take standard tubes, gold-plate the pins and then pass them off as genui... 
What happened to the "Vintage" category ?
Joey: You are correct! On average, it only got one or two listings per day (at most). Gerry 
What happened to the "Vintage" category ?
The Vintage category has been gone for quite awhile. I also miss it, but doubt that Audiogon will bring it back. I could write the following several different ways, but I will put it this way - I'm sure current/modern manufacturers who advertise o... 
How good is the Marantz SA-7S1?
It's excellent. I changed from an Ack dAck 2.0 with hi-res cap option and Metronome CDP used as a transport to a SA-7S1 about 4 months ago. I think its best attribute is that it does everything well. It doesn't have any sonic weakness. It may not ...
