| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question I loved the sound of my tube gear. I put up with the inefficiency, meaning the furnace-like heat. I began to wear down, though, from the cost of re-tubing and once having to ship the amp back to the manufacturer for repair when a tube blew up. ... | |

It still worked but I was concerned about parts availability if it would fail. I eventually sold it. I always thought i... | |
| Loudness - Why has the industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer? I had a Yamaha receiver for my office system that had the variable loudness. As Vermonster said, you turned up the volume to the maximum you were likely to ever listen and then used the rotary loudness control to decrease the output to the desire... | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Guitars and single malt.Those of you who collect watches might enjoy reading “A Grand Complication”, by Stacy Perman. An amazing recounting of the quest to build the finest watch. | |
| Most amusing album or song titles How about Spooky Tooth, "You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw"or the great Vince Gill title (Not sure he ever actually wrote the song) "It's Hard to Kiss the Lips At Night That Have Been Chewing Your Ass All Day Long". | |
