Should I get an ampeg?

No , not true. I've heard a lot of good things about the SVT , and reliability is always mentioned. Ampeg is a good solid company and their reputation wouldn't be so great if they put out a product that "goes out". I bet your friend never tried an Ampeg , or at least never owned one. lol!

If you had power issues then lagging would be the least of your problems. A switching power supply will shut down if overloaded. If you are concerned that your PC may be getting close to pushing the limits of the power supply, You can check the the amperage either on the AC or DC side with a clamp-on amp meter to determine the load the PC is drawing.

You'll have a tough time finding an all-tube amp for under $200. There are a few with tube pre-amps that can be had in that pricerange - \nVox Valvetronix AD15VT \nEpiphone Valve Junior \nKustom Tube 12A\nAll have 12AX7 pre-amps with solid state. The first thing I'd do with any of these is change out the tubes, though, and drop in Groove Tubes or Sovteks

electrical shock is no joke if your talking 110vac or higher, it can cause heart failure you should be monitored for 24 hrs, also you could be burnt in the inside of your body. less of 1 amp can kill you

Just buy the plugpack.\n\nIf you want more amps, or variable volts, be specific.

could be a good idea.\ni recommend looking into xyience and mannatech.\nboth could likely benefit you

I would get a 500 watt inverter to have some safety, you figure with volts times amps but if it uses a motor the starting current can be 5 times the running amps.

If you haven't done it in a few years, you should. Vacuum tubes are very high maintenance, but, I'm sure you know, they sound sweet if properly maintained.

If you've got some basic electrical knowledge, Power Amps are pretty easy.  Electrical components are pretty rugged, so a lot of times, amplifier problems can be traced to a bad connection on a cheap circuit board.  A simple re-flow of the solder on the back of the circuit board can be all that is needed.\n\nSpeakers probably need re-coning - unless your power amp isn't powering them\n\n(Obviously, don't do anything with the power on!)  If you're not an Electrical technician, take it to someone who is!!

Well, 36 Watts tube means they can handle a maximum of 36 watts. If the circuit provides 40 Watts, it will most likely fry. However, just because it says 40W doesn't necessary mean the circuit will be shelling out 40W, but I'd say go and get a 40W tube just to be safe.

5 A is wished at the least. It depends strongly of your electrical needs.

dont buy an a5 \n\ngo for an ion or diablo wrath\n\nbut if u play woods go for an a5 check pbreview.com

I think you should have several. A Mossburg 590 12 guage is good. You should have a simi auto hand gun, and either an AR 15 or a AK-47.

It sounds like you need a multi-meter which is handy for all your electric household needs. You can measure current with most of these and they can be found in hardware stores like Ace in most cases and possible even at places like Wal-Mart. They are not uncommon items. If you want you might be able to go online and search for a amp meter most likely from a physics teacher website. I'm sure your nearest hardware store will carry coil but if not, Radioshack is an option. Problem with Radioshack that I have had is too much money for too little quantity (this is in general and not specific to the coils) if you have time, you can browse the internet for teacher selling sites but you may have to pay for shipping which might also run up the cost. The magnets really depend on what scale you are talking about. Hobby Stores will definitely carry small craft magnets but if you need really strong magnets your best bet is once again a teacher website. I hope that I have been at least some use to you, and best of luck on your experiment/project.

You need a high powered amplifier.

With the money you are putting into the UTG, it is better to just go buy a used real AEG or save up just a tiny little more to get a stock new AEG. The UTG are known to have a lot of problems that no store will want to fix. The quality on this piece is sub-par and will be sore to the eye if you would compare it to a real steel or TM AK-47. There are other alternatives if you don't want the gun to hurt as much, such as the new TM MP-7 and some other gassers from Western Arms, KSC/KWA, TM, and various others that go around 250 fps depending on the type of gas. But if you really insist on buying the UTG, there are battery packs that could be bought for 30-50 dollars that run for days if you are good enough. Some cheap ones that go for 10 dollars can last you half a day as well.

Currently I am running a few programs on my MacPowerBook and Ableton Live 5 in conjuntion with ACID, Reason 2.5 (I want to get 3.0), and LogicPro 7 provide me with a huge base of high-end products that have allowed me to record my guitars for the record my band released and worked great to provide solid production, mixing, and sound quality.  I am partial to Ableton perhaps more than any of the other programs...oh, and so many bands use LogicPro, Reason (Aphex Twin-from the UK), Ableton (John Scofield-US Jazz Guitarist played with Miles Davis and Chemical Brothers and also Thievery Corporation from Washington, DC).  In the end though any of our opinions aren't going to be the final deciding factor for you...you have to try them and hear the differences and go with what is going to serve the music.
