| 20 Vintage Amps That Prove They Really Don’t Make Them Like They Used To There are several very good Sansui’s. AU’s 717,919, 7900, 9900, 777, 888, … I am partial to the 5900 & 7900. The 717 / 919 are very solid and the 777 / 888 are known to be warm and tubey. Makes me wanna bring some old gear out of retirement. | |

| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Many James McMurtry songs. He is a chip off the old block, I guess. | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? Some Schiit designs are hard to reconcile. I have two units in my rack that don’t even have an on/off switch on the front panel, instead they use a TINY toggle switch on the back. VERY difficult to deal with having to reach around back every time!... | |
| Shipping costs- WTF Get you own UPS account, search for an online coupon,25% easy to find. Experiment with 1 vs 2 boxes. You will save a lot . Your retail store, typically a franchise, is ripping you off. | |
