Thanks for the explanation, Mark. My jargon isn't very audiophile. SSH

Changed a tube section to ss, I think. The seller called it an "upgrade", lol. Mostly well, thanks. SSH

Welcome back, Mark. I'm still using my pCats and Peach, but I bought another Peach that you "modified" that I more often use. SSH

You're right, Rich, which is why many people observe and are prepared...always. SSH

I had a flat tire on I20, at night, about half a mile from the state police station in Bossier City, LA. The door was open and the interior light was on. You could see that I had a full rack of clothes over the back seat. A Lincoln occupied four times slammed on the breaks and stopped 20 yards in front of me. A man walked back to my car in an overcoat with his hands in his pockets. I left the holster in plain view on the driver's seat. He asked me, "Hey, man you got any water?" I had a .45 in hand behind the bad tire as I took it off. I looked up at him and said, "No, water is not what I have." He knew he was vulnerable and walked back to his car. I have no doubt that he would have shot me other than seeing that I had a bigger gun than he had. I would have killed him rather than be killed. SSH

I'd have shot them both. No remorse. A little twitch of a finger. SSH

Often referred to as "screw tops", I believe they were associated with the Hammond Organ Company. Most probably survive without the amp intact. I have a pr that I got from Daddy Dee. My guess would be in the $1000 to $1400 range if everything still works. SSH

Any SACDs? SSH

Scott (PappyIII) and Paula Yocum were early supporters of KMAH. After Scott's death, Paula and her family generously donated to help remodel the visitors center. My condolences go to Lauren (Austin) White, Melissa (Corey) Hickson, and their children. SSH

freinse, it's one of my all-time favorite books. Several attempts have been made to movie the book but have failed. I have ideas but not the money, lol. SSH

11:00 tipoff. SSH

73 and sunny in South AR. The pork butt is marinating to be smoked tomorrow and consumed during the AR basketball game Saturday. Go Hogs!!! SSH

I, too, can read Shiva. $1800 is, in my opinion, prideful. SSH

...a bit prideful, I'd say. SSH

Welcome to the Forum. Most of us will recommend what we use. You might consider an integrated tube amp such as the Scott 299 series. SSH

If smart people didn't do stupid things our libraries would be far less interesting. SSH

Woofers and Tweeters, try Out of the Dust by K. Hesse. SSH

Happy Birthday!! SSH

I was lucky years ago to buy Jeff Lessard's 2A3 monoblock amps that he built for himself. Cobalt transformers. AVVT tubes before they were gone. I still have a pr of AVVTs that were the last from Jacs to use for backups. I'm happy with this combo. I've tried six other 2A3s and none are as satisfying as the AVVTs to me. SSH

Jim needs to watch some more SEC games, lol. SSH

Now that the finalists in the championship game are decided, who do you think are the most overrated teams? I think the most is ND. I'd love to see them play ( in the middle of the pack) in the SEC...or some other great team of another conference. SSH

JBCODD I have a family of Salamanders that regularly visits the glass doors of my front porch-lots of fun watching them. Sometimes 8-10. SSH
