    Recent Concerts You've Enjoyed

    Neil Young Coastal Tour at Rady Shell in San Diego. Just Neil and his guitars and pianos (upright, mini-grand, grand, and some type of organ). Even though I could not see anything since I was in the back and no video screens, I thought it was a great performance and the best sound quality I've...

    The fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cable

    I do remember Jeff Smith telling me that the exposed side of the connection needed to face the amp and speaker rather than the binding post nut. He did say that having the exposed side facing the binding post nut would degrade sound quality. Perhaps Ozzy had them connected that way?

    Speaker cables

    I've been using the fideliums for about 3 months now and they are by far the best speaker cables I've used, including some that were much more expensive. Superior transparency, resolution, neutrality and very low noise floor. They do what a cable is supposed to do, which is to pass the signal...

    What is the best 5U4G ?

    The kr rk 5u4g looks kind if large. Does it fit in the allnic h3000 without modification? I've tried the siemens metal base gz34, mullard 5ar4, Philips 5r4gy, rca 5r4gy, and the gec 5u4g in my allnic h3000. My favorite is the gec 5u4g followed by the rca. The rca seems a little more neutral...

    Vinyl shopping in Tokyo
