EL84 amp Vs. EL34 amp
I'd definitely prefer something pt to pt wired. Tube rectification is of lesser importance to me. The Cayin's are probably too expensive. The Antique Sound Lab integrateds look nice and I wouldn't rule out a custom amp either. I heard this Cheer E... 
EL84 amp Vs. EL34 amp
Thanks again all for writing in, but I think several of you are adding a zero to my budget. My amp budget is in the $4-500 range, not $4-5K range. Sorry, just can't afford the expensive gear these days, and in the process have found some really gr... 
EL84 amp Vs. EL34 amp
Thank you all for your posts. Please keep them coming :) Its been about 15 years since I owned any EL34 amps (a cj MV50, Music Reference RM9 & AMC CVT3030 int) and probably about 3-4 years since I actually heard an EL34 amp. Unfortunately, the... 
What is your favorite Chick Corea CD/Album?
Great thread - I'll have to look for some of these LPs. My favorite is Chick Corea / Friends. Have played it to death over the past 30 years.

Your First Vinyl Album.
I can't remember the name of the record store, but it was Jimi Hendrix/Rainbow Bridge. I think I was 9 y.o. 
Can anyone identify this...

Rogersound speakers?
I'll soon be getting a pair of RogerSound Lab CG-6 speakers, which I understand is a later model of RSL speakers. They look very nice and well built. Does anyone have experience with this model?Thanks.

Movies that featured High End equipment
Just saw "The Conversation" with Gene Hackman. Looks like he had an old mono tube system, a Scott mono tube amp with globe 6L6's, an old Thorens or Rekokut TT and a single mono speaker, maybe a Tannoy. Anyone else ever see this movie? 
Integrated amp under $ 500.
It all depends on what you have to do. I imagine the Duevels like a lot of juice, and if you had to go into an integrated for under $500 - I'd second the Acurus DIA-100 
Come Play The Audiophile Genie Game
Unsound,Unfortunately, having been laid off, I do have a bit more time on my hands these days that I would like. It was written more as a part 2 to the the "hitting the lottery" thread and maybe I should have titled it more that way. I probably wo... 
Speaker advice
Big10 - before I can offer you any advice, I'd like to know a little more about your system and your preferences. 1. Which Hafler amp do you have and how is it being used? 2. Is the Elite being used as a preamp in your system? 3. What other source... 
basement renovation - ideas?
There is a very cost effective product if you want to crank up the music and don't want to hear it on the first floor of the house. Green Glue. It comes in large caulk tubes and you put it on between 2 pieces of 5/8" sheetrock. You can certainly u... 
tube info needed
I 2nd Solo's comments. If you want to tube roll, start with the 6sn7's. Changing the input tubes will make a much larger difference than the output tubes.
