SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).John, you did right by getting a high quality amplifier, this is the foundation. Tubes can always be rolled when the time is right, there's no hurry. You're obviously enjoying music with what e... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).John,One of the byproducts in an odd sort of way of having a SET based system is less interest in attending CES. It's a fine event and has always historically been fun. However the last 2 shows... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
