| List Of Small Company Tube Amps Transcendent Sound amp, preamp, eq kits. All amps are OTL! Bruce Rozenblitz designs them all and markets them as kits. Look for his books on tube audio in the bay. | |

| Need Advice Asap - Terrible experience with a seller on Reverb (Iso Acoustics Gaia ii) "I should have stayed away when the price was too good to be true." I immediately thought of my marriage when I read that... | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. Cocktail Audio HIFI Rose I own an early version of the Cocktail Audio ripper/player. Came with 1TB hard drive and a web app to operate it. Worked great for me. CD drive eventually wore out but it was easy enough to buy a new, generic drive, ... | |
