| Get yer Alice at Axpona *L* I ref AC with that line from Rocky Horror.... "Any way you slice it, it always comes up Meatloaf..." If I’d lost my mind after winning a major Lotto draw, a $28K A77 would have to be in an unopened box with 1st line cables, no AC labels, all... | |

| Considering switching to XLR cables, @audioman58 @panzrwagn ...Ah, 2 schools of thought that seem to have some synergy that I could fart with since the mic cables aren't occupied all the time... *G* Thank you both, +10👍 @mclinnguy Yeah, I've noticed that on a couple, but seems o... | |
| Considering switching to XLR cables, XLR on mics only, unless the bit of gear is only XLR..... Then I gender bend to RCA. Keeps that level of complication down....MHO. 🤷♂️ | |

| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" ....and up to the individual to vote with their budget as to what 'mediocre equipment' may be or not....and how such can be 'elevated' and used for it's strengths, sidestepping it's weaknesses.... Sure, that does require a degree or 3 of analytic... | |
| ??? Listening Levels & Musical Styles ??? .....Don't jump into the pool..... | |
| ??? Listening Levels & Musical Styles ??? @jastralfu ...amusing that R&R took longer for the Gem to pontificate on...😏 Replete with bullet points.....*L* Loud 'round here will depend on who's about and time of day, selection of what and how as an adjunct to a 'daily driving sonic el... | |
| What's Up With All The Clickbait Thread Titles @fastfreight +1 ;) Anything that helps one maintain some semblance of sanity of late, especially of late, even if only for a laugh....

| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? A like, no lie... Dire Straits & M. Knopfler afterwards until distracted yet again.... Once posted the lyrics elsewhere to another Post/posteraddict of Industrial Disease. He’d not heard it (how?!), asked if I’d wrote it. Thanked him for the ... | |

| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? The only times I wear gloves is when it's wood (not mine....Lumber....) or the 10' pole I carry around Here. 😏 John Harvey Kellog....wade into this morass.... and there's a whole lot of it... ;) Other times...heavy, oily, caustic... I'm fond of ... | |
| Re; Dynamics, Class D vs tubes… YRWV....sorry. *G* The Chicago show is coming up....perhaps time for an audio exposition expedition? Put together a dongle within it the sort of detail you'd want to have. If a vendor won't play it between demos, then you'd rather not have thei... |
