The Amp Garage

Best sounding cheap 8" and 10" speakers I use are alnico pulls from 50's radios and such.
Check ebay for Zeniths, RCA's etc.

Two of my amps virtually identical built back to back. Inspired by seeing a Laney that had parallel filament wiring (AC)...I decided to try it myself. High gain preamp design with three gain stages and cathode follower tone stack. The parallel wired amp is quieter than the twisted! The wires a lying...

Take a break and check back in whenever.

I've done the same elsewhere, no need for drama.

I distinctly recall hearing about this before, at least in the last two years and there was no stink about i...

Try shrimp and grits.
