@atmasphere Steve is a truly nice guy! He and I had many conversations, and all the while I was thinking, don’t you have more important things to be doing than talking to me? Nope, Steve always took time to speak to people, and for many years he was the one answering the telephone at BAT.
Victor Khomenko was nothing short of a genius. Both of them built a wonderful company that still, some near 30 years later are building great gear. And I still have a VK5i preamp that still works.
Can anyone tell me when XLR connections were first used on stereo equipment. (what years)?
I know RCA connections can produce incredible sounding music, too, but in my experience, I've always found XLR connections sound more detailed to my ears. I'm interested in a vintage integrated amp. Perhaps that's an oxymoron. Anyway, please let me know units/brands that you know about.
