| What is a very nice sounding tube preamp? The OP has probably found a preamp however I feel that I must offer my 2cents:I finally found a Vac Standard Preamp. I entered the Vac family in October of 2012 with a Renaissance 30/30mkII and the Standard seemed like a good choice. Speakers are ... | |
| sand versus shot in speaker stands Lead is preferable for weighting speakers IMHO. Handle it gently; just don't put it in your mouth or nose and you won't die or lose your mind.Given the possible toxicity, I put it in ziploc bags first - the in the speaker base. When I have used it... | |

| Who's your guitar daddy now? Mon dieu - there are so many. I feel fortunate to have seen all of the above live. Though I was pretty young when I saw Segovia at Lisner Auditorium in DC and Montgomery at the Cellar Door. All I really wanted was to go to a Redskins game but than... | |
