The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard
+1 tomic601…nearly every song on that Crash Test Dummies album might qualify

No news yet.  I promise I’ll keep everyone posted.  School just started up in full force again and while I’m certain it wasn’t a summer/COVID-19 hobby for him but it might not have the same focus as it did a few months ago.  Sometimes a month will...

Easy does it Millercarbon, I never said it WAS overwhelming, just potentially so for a young kid with a life outside of audio.  When I was his age was a long time ago and very different.  There were a lot fewer distractions. I am (was) an engineer...

oldhvymec-Agree that the Puffin would be a good fit but I want to keep the budget in the 200 or less range.  He does odd jobs around the neighborhood and is also saving up for a car so I know the competition for what his money gets spent on will b...

tomic601-The Bottlehead is magnificent and a wonderful idea.  I’m just not sure either of us would have the time to assemble it.  He’d be learning soldering, woodworking, circuit design and craftsmanship.  Things that just aren’t taught anymore.  ... 
LSA 20 Signature Loudspeaker / Great Performer & Great $ Bargain until end of the year
I realize this thread is on the old side but find the new LSA speakers intriguing.  Especially at their current sale price.  Can anyone comment on the actual quality of the cabinets and components?  When I hear “manufactured in China” and “custom ... 
Need emergency help please!
