Rok, SS Amps go downhill, CD players function on chips; either they're working or their not. Give those dinosaur amps to the goodwill. https://www.parts-express.com/cat/home-audio-amplifiers/106 I've had 3 of these, they sound very good with a tube pre. The first one I bought cost $139. now they're a little higher. They have one downside, air vents are on the top of the amp, and if one drop of water falls on top, you got a smoked amp. Been there done that, no water gets within 100 yards of my amps. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-apa150-150w-power-amplifier--300-812 If you want to be in the big league, or at least knocking on the door, you have to have a "tube Preamp" they last a long time. Happy shopping. |

One of the most remarkable musical events I have ever witnessed in all of my life was when I saw "Andreas Vollenweider"; I was transported to another time and place in my life. We got the mezzanine front and center seats; it was like being in the center of a huge speaker, plus I brought two sets of binoculars, one for wide angle, and another long range to zero in on details. Andreas's music is somewhere between fantasy and angelic. When I was a child, my aunt read me fairy tales from a big white jewel encrusted book (looked like jewels to me) and took off her big diamond ring that I turned different ways to watch it sparkle all the colors of the rainbow while listening to "Hansel and Gretel" or whatever fairy tell she was reading. This music took me back to that happy time when I thought that life would be one long fairy tale. Andreas looks like a cherub plucking his harp, and the music he makes could only come from a cherub. His band consisted of such an incredible cast of characters who made a sound that could be called "otherworldly". This is the same music I witnessed and I want to share that experience with you; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me6aASTOglE |
