One "AWESOME" LP
Forgot to mention. Slaw if you like Mark K. and Chet. Get some JJ Cale. His latest "Roll on" and "Road to Escondido" are great as well. 
One "AWESOME" LP
LOL! I find it a real treat when people get so excited over music that I've loved for years. I agree with Ponnie on all records. My least favorite Mark K. is his latest release "Get Lucky". Just can't seem to warm up to it. Sometimes it tkaes a wh... 
New music
I have to agree that the Patty Griffin "Downtown Church" is a great new release. Patty has always been a favorite of mine. Haven't heard the new S. Lynne. 
Jeff Beck - Emotion & Commotion?
It's excellent! For sound quality and material. Some of Jeff's best work in years. I'm a big J.B. fan. He's one of the most underrated guitarist I know of. 
SCHEMATIC for Sophia S.E.T. EL-34 amp
LOL! Will, you can forget it! Sophia Electric,Washington High end or whatever will not be reasonable to deal with. Some of there amps are modified in the US Chinese products and some are made here from scratch in the USA. They're not anything spec... 
Sophia 300B vs Jeff Korneff 45 Amp
My experience is that power kills. The 45 or the 50 tube is the best output tube for SETs. You just have to have the right speaker. High efficiency,low driver count,benign impedance and the 45 will walk the dog! 
Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts?
Ah yes, a late night on Hillsborough St. NC State had just won the NCAA championship and Raleigh was wide open. What's that I hear in the background? "Nuts, hot nuts get from your peanut man" 
Van Halen or Van Hagar
Van Halen! I"I don't feel tardy" 
Grant Green's version of 'Round About Midnight
Every time I hear the name Grant Green. I also think of Ronnie Earl. Ronnie is another great guitarist. I don't think he does a version of this song,but Ronnie is in the same league as Grant. 
Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing
Mrtennis, 3335.5 hours and you'll be there! 
How do the Magnepan 1.7's sound
Butt kidding in high end audio! Huhm, I mean butt kissing, does that really go on? 
Question on tube rolling with Melody I2A3....
Simple, Shuguang 2A3C! From Pacific Valve. 
Saw the Gregg Allman band last night.
Alpass "Laidback" is a must have! 
The closest approach: what amplification?
SET all the way! 
Will Thiel 3.7 Outriggers work on other speakers?
Will a Ford part fit a Chevy?
