The New and Improved Godchecker

The New and Improved Godchecker

I devoured mythology when I was a young'un. I remember being shocked when Marvel began publishing the adventures of the mighty Thor in <I>Journey Into Mystery</I> #82, since the Thor I knew from Norse myths was kind of a dim lout&mdash;smart aleck that I was, I identified more with Loki, completely missing how malevolent the trickster god was.

Need help, tube preamps

Forums

I have a McIntosh MC-60 amplifier that I need a new phono preamp for, preferably tube, but I can't spend more than $1000. The choices seem endless and I'm not knowledgable or patient enough to sift through all of the possibilities out there. Can you guys give me some advice? I'm mainly into mono recordings from the '40s, '50s, and '60s, using CDs and vinyl/shellac at all the speeds. Any help appreciated!
