Lowrider and others.On the needledoctor website I read a lot of good reviews about the Denon DP300F. Is this any good? I'm asking because with my connections I can get one for about $260 brand new. Any comments?

Bug,It's just a beginning of the good things and good things will come for the next few months I'm sure. I think mine settled after about good 6 months or so and the biggest jump was after about 600hrs.

By the way, great decision about the Samsons, they have an amazing synergy with the Dude.

Ok, Andrew it could be just me or that I'm imagening things. Over the weekend I did a little A/B betwene routers, D-link DIR-615 and my old Netgear. Netgear sounded better. This isn't logical.....am I crazy????

I'm just starting to play around with tube rolling and this is the first set to try, Bill said a lot of great things about Marconis and I found a set for around $45 and should be in my system early next week, RCA, Raytheon, Olson are next on my li...
