Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s?
Amps are amps. The technology has reached a plateau decades ago. Can't wait for the bricks to fly. Duck! 
Great concert
Saw him last Saturday at the Montreal Jazz Festival (they should rename it the "Music Festival" and quit this misleading advertising). Any way, I digress: yes great show. The one thing that struck me that is not as evident; song for song, on recor... 
Man, am i losing my hearing?
Go see a specialist; your complaint is usually the first one that is heard from people with a hearing problem. Up here your visit and treatment would be free. I sure hope you have insurance since medical treatment sure is expensive in the land of ... 
Can HI FI components really make music?
The answer is obvious when asked the way you do: no. I believe Peter Walker explained why many years ago. Recorded music is an ersatz, but as far as ersatz go name me one that is closer to reality? To help you people here will suggest all sorts of...

BAT's house sound
"wetness" eh? 
Quad ESL 989 and Maggie 3.6s
Check the build quality of Maggies. I am sure that Quad, no matter who actually owns the name now, can't do much worse. If you want Maggies do yourself a favour and buy them new from the dealer nearest you.

Ze Ruuum! Ze akoustiks! 
What is your idea of a Perfect Album?
One that takes you out but brings you back. 
Do people find the rating system useful?
Maybe Bush could legislate honesty in the sales of used audio components on the net? 
How many "tube" watts do Maggie 3.5's or 6's need?
Do a search on Planar Asylum and you will find more info on this then you will ever need. Good luck with those big'ol toooob watts! 
Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad?
Yeah, sure they really do burn-in and then go straight on through to burnout. What I am saying to the original poster is that if the components are functioning properly electrically speaking, maybe that is the way they do sound like and maybe they... 
Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad?
Maybe you simply don't like the sound? If everything checks out ok technically speaking, grin and bear it and then the break-in period will be over and you will learn to love it. Oh, the only break-in period I believe in is the one where the liste... 
"Giant Killer" The things legends are made of.
If you can find replacement parts, most will, indeed, live forever!
