What happened to that show? Spongebob Squarepants has better plot lines lately. Sick of Carmella, boy she musta had some good agent to get so much screen time and lame dialogue... I read better stuff on bubblegum wrappers. And Tony, why does he have to look like a homeless guy now? Three episodes and the only good scene is the soccer mom fight. Sheeesh. Fugedaboutit!
I Agree, John! If you look at all the HBO shows, they follow a certain formula: 1. initial shock value at unique setting (Oz, six feet under, sopranos, sex in the city) 2. Slow degeneration of plot line and dialog into predictable shlock.
I think it is in the contract; as soon as the show gets popular they re-negotiate and the stars demand equal time. Since that requires that there be a plot line to accomodate each prima-donna the story gets all fractured and messy. At least that is my theory. So you are going with the hex-freds? Good idea, I have'nt heard the amp but they seem to really like it and el 84's sound great. What a nice little piece that amp is.
HI John, Yeah i just got the amp (and yor article!) yesterday.. i havent even opend the amp yet. Definitely going with the hexfreds....and for coupling caps, i havent decided yet, i need to cost out auricaps versus the silver foil caps they are talking about in the article.. i am eager to compare this to the zen which also uses el84s in single ended mode, but uses a 6922 tube as driver, and has zero feedback. I want to see if power supply & coupling cap beef ups alsong with some NOS tubes can make this osund better than the zen (can;t use NOS tubes in zen since they run really hot and last a year). will keep you all posted. -akhilesh
What about the great scene with the two tonys sitting outside on a sheet of plywood or something, with a table for the tv, chairs and wet wash cloths on their heads! ( all out in the yard!) great old neighborhood stuff!
Yeah thats how the whole show used to be outside on the cardtable when uncle Junior was in charge and the wives appeared in ten minutes of the show. Even Janice was interesting when she followed the story line, then Carmella got popular and Meadows little side-bar; now its an afternoon soapopera. Marone'.
