| How long should Pre amp (12au7) tubes last in Rogue Preamp? I haven't tried the Gold Lions yet, but I put a pair of NOS Tung-Sol tubes in the preamp section of my Rogue integrated amp and was surprised at how much better it sounded. I'm sure my JJ's were still fine after a few years but it seemed like a c... | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? Sorry, I can't take seriously a song with the lyric "...and my soul has been psychedelicized." That always cracked me up (or had me shaking my head in disbelief). | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? There are no such lyrics on Smile or Smiley Smile with the exception of Surf's Up which has a brief reference. It's not a song about surfing. This stuff is more...I don't know, avant-garde? Not your Surfin' USA/I Get Around Beach Boys. | |

| Bright or Dim? Obviously it's because the light waves interfere with the sound waves. | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? Jerry worked well for Mahavishnu 1 but I don't think of him as a jazz musician--more a rocker who was able to fit into the M. Orch. fusion scheme. J-LP was already a jazz player with modern leanings when he played with McLaughlin. If you look at... | |
| Your Favorite Holiday Album +1 for Elvis. There are others I like, but if I only listen to one it is Elvis'.I simply HAVE to hear Blue Christmas (track 1) every year or I just might die. | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? I listen to more classical violin than jazz violin, but it's a stacked deck--there are so many more classical violinists to choose from and only a handful of jazzers. Still, I regard Stephane Grapelli as an important player of his time and Jean-L... |
