Long time lurker & I finally ponied up the $25. Seems like the least I could do for the amount of knowledge that I've gained here.
What's a "Show Low"? Small town in the mountains of Arizona with the motto "Named by the turn of a card." Our little town was literally won (or lost) in a poker game. With a population of only about 10K, there isn't much in the way of local equipment swapping, but I keep hoping to find that perfect estate sale vintage tube deal. If you are picturing the Arizona desert, think again. Show Low is about 6500 ft elevation and part of the largest Ponderosa pine forest in the world. We actually have all four seasons, including a snow skiing season. It's a great place to live, if you can afford to make way less than big city money.
My gear so far is:

My gear so far is:
M&K Satilite 2 (the oldies with the walnut enclosures)
M&K Volkswoofer (oldie enclosure, but I found a NOS speaker & now it is rock'in)
NAD Preamp (not sure on model)
NAD Tuner
Onkyo amp
That amp is OK, but I would really like to get into a decent valve amp. I'm on the lookout for a Fisher 400/ 500/ 800. I'm fairly electrically literate and can do most soldering/ assembly tasks. Ebay has a few items that might be interesting, but it seems like a crap shoot. Hard to believe all those guys that say "Never powered up - untested. No refunds." Makes me wonder if they didn't pass the spark test & they are unloading it.M&K Volkswoofer (oldie enclosure, but I found a NOS speaker & now it is rock'in)
