| Seeking tube amp advice Unless Rogue has upgraded their transformers, or you just like a sweeter top end, I would not consider them. I had the 150 monos with cryoed KT 88 tubes in an all dif balanced system but never heard the leading edge of music that I knew was there | |

| Underrated album: Sonics AND Music I love Patty L. I had the good fortune to hear her live some 10 years ago in my friends home on his 50th birthday. I have A GoGo, Red Luck and Live in the Square; not a clunker among them | |
