Mine is the "Completion Backwards Principle," - but more the live shows than the recording..... Seen them many times, and my band almost warmed them up in 93 when they had a few shows in SF. Prairie Prince now paints bikes and motorcycles just a few blocks from my neighborhood..... Superdad 1 Link to comment

Custom output transformers modeled off a particularly special Peerless. Choke power supply. Hybrid tube/FET front end. (The late actor James Gandolfini--The Sopranos--had one in his bedroom as a night light. That's what a family friend handling pieces of his estate told me. ) Beautiful! I also loved both the look and sound of your Hovlands. I remember seeing and hearing them in person at CES and was surprised by how large in size and how beautiful in sound they were. I seem to remember hearing them with some Verity Audio speakers (if I'm remembering them correctly), - [might have been Talon] and really appreciated the command and control that they had over the speakers. The blue glow was waaaaaay sexy.... Superdad 1 Link to comment
