No way,No how,Never will...

sorry what music you are missing

A. Check out BPT for balanced power.
B. Keep telling yourself that you won't go tubes. The allure will eventually overcome your will power.

Maineiac,thanks for the BPT tip,my post was tongue-in-cheek,but am serious about the things I thought I would live without.Bobby at Merlin turned me on to his favorites to go with my Merlins so I am going the Equitech route with those units when another ship comes in.Just ordered JPS power cord for amp and Cardas PC for the source.Almost 800$ for that part of the puzzle.Of course,its just a matter of time before the tubes are knockin on my door.Aint life great!Have a large day,Bob

Robm321,hi.I have wooden cabinets for amps and sources with not alot of breathing room between shelves.Just enough for the input tubes on the Counterpoints,but no more.However,I have some room to isolate sources which are modded DVD players.Any recommendations there??Thanks,Bob

Why are you depriving your self of such beauty in sight and sound? Some people really get stuck in silicon and heat sinks and have a heck of a time getting out. Maybe some day you will find the glow and bask in all it's glory.
