| UPS doesn't just damage and lose Hi-end gear You guys have me worried, because I'm waiting for an amp to be delivered any minute from UPS. With my luck, I'll open the box and find Mariah's fur coat instead. | |
| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet?

| For all of you X fans I'd forgotten about Viggo & Exene connection, from which came a son .The first time I saw X was in a club only a few blocks from where we saw Exene last night. That was 24 years ago. While singing, I think she actually displayed even more ene... | |
| Do these speakers exist? $5K? For the current version?Yes.A few GMA owners I've spoken with is that they did not pay retail even when buying new. Discounts may or may not be standard...not sure about that. | |

| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? From what I understand, the horn/tweeter swap also dramatically smooths out the highs. So Marco, that could be the best suggestion yet! | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? I've been told that tubes provide smoothness and warmth that can't be found in ss amps.I would certainly agree with that statement. Yet because it is specifically punch & detail that you don't want to give up, I would advise sticking with SS. ... | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? Whoa! What a buzzkill.Sorry about that. I don't dislike the album. It's just a little too perfect a puzzle for my tastes. | |
