I sold my ARC SP14 last year. It was ok but as a hybrid with a 6DJ8 as I recall it was amazingly quiet but a little cold. Bought a top of the line Furman with the proceeds. Conrad Johnson PV is quiet and just a little warm. Much better soundstage ,attack and decay. I am just a 12AX7 guy. Maybe someday I find a HH Scott preamp for s reasonable price. Recent prices are a bit over the top.

Awesome with electricity the last 8 days and no ice storms. Mild winds...lows in the balmy minus 5 at the worst. The mosquitos are all dead.

When you only see the sun two days a month in Michigan 6 months out of the year you have to listen to perky music. Elvis Costello Romantic s B 52 s Dick Dale Rockpile Brian Setzer Can be a broad genre. But what about new power pop go invigorate a cold dark night with your best friend of 36 years ? Going out on a limb.... KEITH URBAN. The Fighter with Carrie Underwood. What is your idea on 201X power pop?

The Pioneer is interesting. NAD or Marantz PM5005 would be interesting. I have not owned z Marantz since the 1980s.

Very fair price and terms. Moving Belles is a major undertaking.

40 homes left! Electric monopoly is going to take some criticism. The easement that was affecting our lost power was completely overgrown with 80 foot trees. Should have been thinned out sometime in the past 30 years.

Power back on late last night. A long five days. Next storm starts in 4 hours! Yee Haa.

Repair crews coming from 5 states. May have power Monday night. The cold is nasty but we do not have hills and mountains like Tennessee. Some swamps are tough to repair the power lines. Thanks to all. Rick

It is complicated and took us two days to optimize. We are having fun with it as best we can. Carefully charged Chrome Book and tablets with Verizon 4G.

Consumers Power outages I am prepped but off electric since Wednesday morning 3:00 AM , like the album title. Not much news coverage. In the last two weeks we went from super cold to snow to thaw to flooding to two ice storms to 45 mph winds today. We will not have electric until Monday night. Cast iron wood stove in the living room is exceptional. WION Ionia Michigan has a great diverse set list by battery powered tiny boom box. Keep the less fortunate of the tens of thousands in your prayers. Regards to PWK nation; Rick

And in his first NBA finals Kareem was out injured and Magic played center as I recall.

Magic and the other legacy players are tight to the school more than most universities. Adrenaline and confidence and teaching moments. Go Green!

Schu You disparage yourself by getting snarky with aarto. Just short of 20 years of quality contributions here. Personally I would never mess with a bass player from Chicago. Kingston Mines rocks!

1979 team is in town this week.

My freshman year was 1978. Football went downhill but we had Jud and Magic and it was amazing!

Go White Neck of a game yesterday. I like this team better than last year. Even with Langford not playing.

How do you stay warm? 🙂 For phono and pre I am a 12AX7 guy. VRD and KT88 guy for power. I am past the amp rolling phase of my life. If I won the lotto Ihave would try Channel Islands class D or Accuphase SS.

I still spend a weekend in Detroit every now and then. Keep me "posted". LOL

Since I moved to the tiny house on the farm 7 years ago the Dean modded Chorus IIs have been in storage. In 2019 they will get back in play once an addition is complete. I have only heard stock RF 7. The Chorus II is a piece of history being said it was the last speaker design PWK was actively involved in. No wrong answer here. If I never found the Chorus IIs and bought RF 7 which were under consideration I probably would have sold them in the downsizing process.

I plug everything into the Furman Elite 15 except TV. Live on a hill and get nasty near by lightening strikes every 2 years

I am cursed to be affected by the jitter fatigue and edgy highs of any preamp with DACs in it. Cymbals and piano just sound horrible.

Even though it was bass shy compared to my Scott 208 Power amp I do miss my Scott LK-48. Attack, decay, instumental realism and wide soundstage. The first time I heard The Band sing The Weight on the LK-48 with my Chorus IIs was the beginning of the end of my interest in Home Theater.

Do not know anything about it but would be cool if it was a short course with nasty dog legs. I would rather see their skill on a nasty 6500 course than the orchestrated 7200 years courses. Like to see them humbled by a Donald Ross course of another built before 1950 or 1970.

I have never heard the Schiit but read countless good reviews. They get a little confusing with all permutations of models. I will buy one someday if I do not save up for a Benchmark.

If you listen to mostly records HH Scott integrated phono sections are my favorite of that era. Guys that repurpose old organ amps into power amps are a good gateway tube experience.
