| Looking for a Thin Lightweight PowerCord for Digital Aftermarket power cords are a clever marketing ploy to get the gullible to spend their shekels! Speaking from long experience (40+ years!). | |
| NYAL Moscode 600 tube rolling There are NO more REAL Mullards and Telefunken's being made today! These are all East European inferior copies. Hunt down and buy the ORIGINALS - even used (as long as cathode emissions test GOOD)! | |
| NYAL Moscode 600 tube rolling I own a Moscode 150. Mine uses just four tubes (dual-triodes) in the front end. I will only use pre-1970 tubes (US, UK, Holland, Germany, Japan). Used ones are fine as long as they test GOOD for emissions. Avoid present-day Russian and Chinese (qu... | |

| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Bring back the SEX PISTOLS!!! | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? How about my restored Scott 233 and LK72? Vintage tube sound at its best! Also my Proton 520 SS can kick serious b*tt! | |
| Epos Too many monkey-coffin boxes that look and sound alike! Remember Tangent? Good sounding British speakers that failed in the marketplace! I owned a pair of RS2's (KEF B220 and T27 in a sealed box). Kept them for two years and stupidly sold them whe... | |
| Good Sounding Vintage SS Receiver or Amps My first receiver was Marantz 2270 bought new from Rabson's on 57 St, NYC. This was 1976 and the price was $280 + tax! Excellent sound, kept it for a year and sold it when I bought separates - AGI 511 preamp and GAS Son of Ampzilla! Ah, the good o... |
