Hi from Thingfish.
Hi folks
Zappa fans will need no introduction to my username....!!!
For the uninitiated, Thingfish is the name of a FZ album, think un-PC rock opera.
It's up there alongside Zoot Allures, Apostrophe, One Size Fits All and You Are Wot you Is as my favourite Zappa albums.....(though this changes monthly).
Current system...Marantz CD 73, Rothwell Indus Passive, Rotel Power Amp, LS3/5A Speakers.
Brand new Radford STA 25 MK5 due on Tuesday. (after a nine month wait)!!!

Hi Alan
Yes also have thingfish and almost every other Zappa official release.
Nice choice the Radford with LS 3/5a, as valve amps really suit higher impedance speakers.
Welcome to the forum
Cheers / Chris

Thanks Chris, yes Im led to believe the STA and LS3/5As make a fine pairing.
Will share my findings once amp arrives.

Hi Ed, my LS3/5As are Falcon (15 ohm)
Not the £6500 special edition ones though, unfortunately they had all sold out...!!!

Is that really how much they are now? That's ridiculous! There's certainly not a lot there in material terms and it's not as if much would have been spent on development, as deviating from the old spec would make them cease to be LS3/5a's.
