Mott The Hoople
IMHO, Margo Timmins does "Sweet Jane" better than anyone. I am, of course, in love with her so maybe that is clouding my judgement...nah, she nails it!

PayPal Alternative? - What's your opinion?
I bought a preamp from an Audiogon member about three years ago. PayPal took the $2400 out of my checking account as usual/normal.Two weeks later, I got a certified letter from PayPal saying I owed them $2400.00. I had a hard copy of my bank state... 
Anyone heard the KIng Sound Princess II monitors?
I heard them at RMAF and LOVED them. I'd really like to get a pair. 
Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2?
It will certainly work, but IMHO, way under powered for those speakers in a large room. 
vintage '50s 12AX7: Mullard, Amperex BB, Brimar

The PS Audio is not a tubed unit. I would look for a used Kora Hermes which is tubed. They are excellent sounding. 
which not too expensive amp for Maggie 1.7 ?
Odyssey Stratos Plus or Extreme.
