| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? No way, I think the Densen Beat looks way cooler than the Primare, just my opinon. The Copland’s look pretty awesome too:https://www.google.com/search?q=copland+integrated+amp&espv=2&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=...: | |

| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Hey Boxer - you wouldn't happen to have one of Jeff Korneff's 6bq5 integrateds would you?

| Canton or ads small bookshelf spkrs? Which is better? Hmmm, I didn't find my little Cantons bright at all. I've read that the L300's may be better sounding than the slightly larger L400's but the 400's are nicer aesthetically | |
| Canton or ads small bookshelf spkrs? Which is better? The Cantons aren't sweet sounding and disappear like a good British 2 way speaker does. It's accurate, musical, and images very nicely, there's just something right about how it sounds.I should add that I'll be using them with a 100 wpc Tandberg ... | |
| The one that got away Over the years, several women gave gotten away, but only 1 audio piece comes to memory that got away. About 10-12 years ago, I was bidding on a custom pair of SE 6V6 tube amps from Canada. I never bought anything from Canada so I asked a ton of ... | |
| Speaker jumpers Get a 6 inch piece of Romex and use the copper ground wire, see how that works, costs pennies if you can't get one for free from someone. If you don't like it, just biwire your speakers, that is usually best anyway. | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp Any of the chip amps totally benefit by having a tube preamp in front of them to warm up the sound.Having said that I might have a tube preamp for you under $100. It is an Aric Audio preamp and has 3 line stage inputs. Is that enough for you? I... | |

| Surprise when revisiting your older gear. Ever happen to you? A lot of people make happiness a moving target. I'll be happy when I get this amp or that preamp, this speaker or that speaker, etc. Then they get it and that feeling wears off, sometime quickly. Then sometimes it doesn't sound great, for whate... |
