song at end of SVU episode
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Screwed episode on TV.comEmotionally charged episode, and I loved the score at the end. Ludacris (Chris Bridges) did a wonderful job acting, ... The song that plays during the final scene is Sense of Touch by... 
Pandora vs. Pandora One. Any audible difference?
I'm planning to upgrade my Pandora access as well. In addition to improved audio quality, will anyone comment about a broader range of music? On several of the "radio stations" I now have, it seems I hear the same couple dozen recordings over and ... 
Amp upgrade suggestions for a $2K budget
Rogue certainly enjoys a good reputation. I went from a JoLida 502B (Shuguang KT88s; Ei and NOS Mullards in the pre) to a JAS H-1 Hybrid (Rogue was a candidate at the time...I just didn't have easy access to a dealer for auditioning). The JAS punc... 
Phono pre recommendations for Technics SL1210M5G
Msq - thanks for the input. I'll have to check out your components to identify the phono-pre you use - don't recognize the brands apart from Bozak.

Whats on your turntable tonight?
e - I messed up on the album title...but the track, Private Investigations is definitely one of my favorites. Glad you like it too. I have a vinyl copy of Local Hero...haven't played it in a while. I will have to it out. Merry Christmas to you.

Experience with high end fuses????
I didn't expect a HiFi tuning fuse to make a difference in my modest system (at the time, running a JoLida 502B). The idea that a short run of very small diameter wire should make a difference seemed silly. But as a $30 tweak, the single one I nee... 
what do you use to remove your tubes?
I too try to avoid direct finger contact with the glass of the tube. Generally I use a paper towel folded and wrapped around the tube and grip at the base...but my tubes are pretty much fully exposed. I like the cotton sock approach. Am using one ... 
Anyone running Totem Forests w/Dreamcatcher subs?
JJM - Thanks for the reply...I have heard GREAT stuff about Plinius (esp. 9100/9200?) with Forests. I'm driving mine now with a JAS H-1 hybrid tube amp (EL34 power tubes; transistor pre-amp) Mainly I get great bass from the Forests...much more tha...
