| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Jethro Tull on his Aqualung tour and James Cotton both at my college in the early seventies. I also remember Frank Zappa playing a scintillating solo on Moving to Montana. The rest of his show was pure garbage. I saw Bob Dylan sing "Masters of War... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Neal, thanks for the advice. I did recently end up getting the Luxman 507uX Mark II with 210 watt per channel into 4 ohms which I hope should be sufficient to drive them. That adventure was documented on my recent amp thread which ended up morphin... | |

| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Jack. I’ll give Mike a call, probably tomorrow. Thanks for a good tip. I just looked up where Sarasota is in Florida. I’m planning on driving down near Orlando soon to visit family. SunCoast Audio is almost close enough for a side trip for some de... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Thanks for your explanation ieales. Didn’t mean to put you on the spot if I did. One thousand dollars is only my self imposed budgetary limit. If considerably less expensive cable sounds best in my system, that’s all to the good. If only a $2000 c... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Ieales, I'm in no rush. I won't even be demoing any cables I can get a hold of until the Magicos arrive in February.

I could set the Titanic on it. I'm building the shelves for the rest o... | |
