Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
Easy Nrchy. If you're directing your vitriole at me, you need to read a bit more carefully. I never said stop doing it and/or questioned the relevancy. BTW, personal attacks are unnecessary.Try decaf at the Gordon Lightfoot concert. Maybe he can h... 
Anyone else evolve beyond tubes?
I frankly have trouble believing Snook2's claim of a 50% failure rate. I've owned and listened to tubed gear for over 45 years. During that time many many tubes have worn out. We expect that. However, I can count the tubes that have failed prematu... 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
Jsonic makes a good point. For whatever reasons, many musicians and their work are looked upon as something sacred. Wasn't one of the original intents of the music to make money? Yeah I know, artists don't care about money. BS!! The title of the t...

Every speaker that has warm characteristics is not necessarily heavy and/or bloated. This is a disingenuous mischaracterization made by an inexperienced listener.Thank you.

Consonance Cyber 800/845 Valve amps; how good?

Feedback wanted from Jolida JD100A owners
>>The Jolida is a great player, period<<It might be a good player and perhaps a very good value but let's be realistic, it is not a "great" cd player. Calling it great is a disservice to the upper echelon players that are far more dese...
