    Lol.................it's not about being an audio snob. It's about paying $18K for a pair of amps and having cheap knobs....

    The Rat Shack knobs are plastic whereas Bob's are machined aluminum billet.

    They do. Much more room, both to the sides and the back. All of the wrong things were done with this system. All I know is that we had Carver, Sunfire and Lightstar gear on this rig in obviously less than stellar conditions. As soon as they hooked up Bob's tube amps, I was walking by off-axis and literally stopped in my tracks. The system sounded completely different and I knew right away that I liked whatever they changed.

    Bob's tube amps were the only thing they changed. I must admit, I was floored at how good that rig sounded.

    I had the same reaction....actually sat down for a good listen. Stellar!




    Geesh Sal, not getting any or what!?!

    So, we have a link in a post that offends someone. The post gets deleted, but the guy complaining about the link, quotes that link in his post, which is still here for all to click on. Then, the same guy doing the complaining posts yet another link to the Photobucket site that the link came from. Hello!

    In the meantime, the original poster gets a warning for inappropriate language. :confused::eek::rolleyes:
