"In Heaven there is no gear, that's why we play it here. And when we're gone from here, our friends will be playing all our gear" :beerchug:

Just got this yesterday; Great record...very well recorded.

Yup...still in Shoppingtown Mall.

Sitting and reveling in the amazing sound coming from my listening room system, when it occurred to me that most of the major components came from Hionfi's audio shop in Dewitt N.Y. : Thorens TD-160, PAS-3, ST-70 and Boston Acoustic A-200 all came off the floor of their shop. Bill and Rod are...

Humpty-Dumpty by Aimee Mann from her Lost in Space album. No idea why... except that I saw a 'Til Tuesday record in an audio store yesterday....

Function over form for sure. Can't put a number on it but definitely a considerable difference. I have no air to put on...and since I listen with my ears and not my eyes the aesthetics of the gear does not affect the sound quality...FOR ME. I remember going to a jam session with a Magnatone 260...

I've heard some people say that flashing loss in a tube can be an indicator of the amount of use a tube has seen. I.E. the more loss, the more hours a tube has on it. Any truth to this?

line voltage through a power conditioner. Why worry about a few volts? My line averages 121 volts...back when the line was 117 that was a NOMINAL voltage. If it varied 2 or 3 volts, thats not much different than todays line. With components in the amp designed with tolerances in mind I doubt a...

Industrial 12AT7.

My very favorite trumpet player: "Willow Weep For Me" is 20:27 of exquisite live goodness.....I'm sorry...was I gushing?

Well....here's most....but not all...of the tubes I rolled through my ST-70 VTA board in the last two weeks. A lot of good sounding options and a few stinkers too. Some of my favorites: 5963 RCA with long black plates and stirrup getters: nice and full and rich. Nice low end albeit not super...

Definitely do....I've never heard Coltrane"wank" like he does in the title track. Like he's trying to break Bird's record.....LOL..

This is the third sealed record I've opened to day...Now I can't get my jaw off the floor....

Just came today...on the Vinyl Lover's label. WOW!!! So good that I ordered his first record on the same label. :banana:

Something more sane:

This is f**king weird.... And if I think something is weird...it's WEIRD...o_O
