After listening to music for years using casual speakers, I decided it is time to give myself a treat and build up some hi-fi sound system. While working on this assigment, I have revealed how wide area I enter and at the moment I am flooded by information and try to find my way out of it. I would be very happy to hear an advice from the experienced.

I guess it could be useful, if I summarize what my expectations are:

hello,
i want to buy active monitors mainly for making music, they should also be good in listening to music too ?

Are you guys kidding? What the hell is "jazz bos" supposed to mean? It sounds like something J. Edgar Hoover would call musicians smoking a joint.

I am a recent convert to tubes (about 3 years) and have purchased a tube line stage and power amp, and have done a great deal of reading on the subject but I only recently came across this tube when reading about the Wright Sounds WPP 100 phono stage. this unit uses 4 of these tubes along with 2 12AU7's.

In all the searches I have done for tube gear and in all the reading I have done I did not come across a unit using the 6ER5 tube except for the Wright Sounds unit.

I am going nuts trying to find these wires. I basically have a laptop with a single 1/8"(3.5mm) output. I am trying to connect to it two active monitors that have 1/4" outputs and I cannot find a cable that splits 1/8" into 1/4"s. Does anyone know where can I find such a cable? The closest I have seen is this: http://www.samash.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...iates-_-na-_-na

"Persian pop, funk, folk and psych of the 60s and 70s" is a very interesting listen and a time warp trip back to a modern emerging Iran that is still trying to find its way into the 21st century. Also available in double vinyl (I have the cd version only).
