High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?
i have been doing the rounds recently investigating valve amps. i have found some dealers to be quite insular, to look down on modern dance music and generally exhibit the kind of attitude that would keep young folk from becoming customers. 
the best amps for bass, best for the rest?
i've made offers on both Wavac and VAC pre-power combos to work alongside the boulder(despite my better half assuring me this is a dreadful time to try and close a deal. something to do with mercury going retrograde apparently)i'm waiting to see i...

Wavac PR-T1 thoughts?

the best amps for bass, best for the rest?
George-lofi i hear what you are saying about OTL valve amps. my big concern there is that the baby grands aren't the most efficient and i enjoy full-bodied sounds at high spl's, so fear they will lack the power i need for bass-orientated music. i ...
