| Best Tubes for Golden Tube SE-40? For drivers I like the Brimar 6sn7gty in V1 and a Tung-Sol 6sn7gtb in V2. I have heard the RCA red base 5692 is also very good. I haven't tried any different power tubes. I guess Svetlana 6L6 are supposed to be good. There is a Golden Tube mailing... | |

| Freak Me Out Kronos Quartet's Black Angels one of the weirdest/coolest CDs Ive ever heard. It was written by George Crumb and was inspired by the Vietnam war. Kronos is an "electrified" string quartet. They use strange percussion, chanting, and other techiniqu... | |
| integrated amp w/ Triangle titus spks? Xmore, the Audio Analogue would be one of my first choices. Did you have the SE version? I was hoping to get by with the standard Puccini but I would want the pre out upgrade I might want to add a sub down the road. I bought my Triangles from Audi... | |

| Upsampling/Advice on Transport Marantz makes some inexpensive cd players with digital outputs. There used to be a lot of used/demo stuff on ebay. I bought a demo CC-67 for $168 a couple of months ago. It works fine as a transport. | |

| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND You guys should check out Acid Bath. They only put out two albums. "When the Kite String Pops" and "Paegan Terrorism Tactics" are both killer. I was starting to give up on finding any decent heavy metal until a friend turned me on to Acid Bath a f... | |
| Tube Biasing? Explain Please I don't think so. You might have to buy matched pairs of tubes though. | |
| Tube Biasing? Explain Please It depends on your amp. The manual should have instructions on how to do it. My amp you have to take a reading on each individual tube with a multimeter then adjust the pots with a plastic screwdriver until they all read the same. |
