What have YOU got?

Of course I'll start a thread for the 88, goes without saying! Thanks for the offer very much, David, I may take you up on it. The deal on the 88 review was, the guy was an amateur, and didn't belong in TAS! DA GONE IT, I should review equipment someday!!! I need to get paid for it...I mean, I can hear (I love music/audio) and am reasonably verbally inclined (and can type), so I hate to see somebody NOT do justice to a review. It's like when you're driving fast in the left lane, and some doogong gingerly slides in front of ya, without even lookig in the rearview mirror!.............................A great many of us here in this forum are better at reviewing than most of 'em on the online "webzines", too! And some of us think we're as good as some of the best, sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly..............BTW, NONE of the "best reviewers" are regularly published by any of the "webzines", that I'm aware of, IMHO. Although some have started their own, like Wes Phillips....

Carl,After I read you were looking for a S.F.ST-80 I checked around and contacted Mario...914-421-0069 He said they are a very good amp but rarely got one in.Well yesterday he E-mailed me and he just yesterday got one in along with a line 2.He said "around" $1500.00 for the ST-80 but that usually means 12 or 13 hundred.Personally I think the Rogue is a better deal.Im sure you will just love a tube amp.Of course you wont have the wallop and detail of your Krell but you will have something better,MUSIC!!!! Theres a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold...............

"I hear, the horses' thunder, down in the valley below..."

I have a pair of Infinity Kappa Perfect 10" in a speaker box, a Pioneer 9200R headunit, and for interior speakers 2 pairs of Polk Audio 6 1/2" coaxial speakers. =)

Combining old tech. with new tech. For clean power and lots of it, Pioneer SX-1980, to play music, Sony DVP-S7700 and an Monarchy 22-A DA converter. For base, Velodyne CT-120 subwoofer, to reproduce the mid's and high's a pair of Infinity SM-255's. Excellent soundstage, fantastic detail nice tight base clean mids and highs. Sometimes I use a Pioneer Series 20 A-27 inter. amp. Not quite the power of the SX-1980 but every bit as good, if not better in sound reproduction.
