| Tune of the Day @slaw "Star Sign" - Ryan Adams off Ashes & Fire... album cover looks eerily like the recent LA fires | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) Bruno Mars - Leon Bridges - Black Pumas (Eric Burton) - JJ Grey - St Paul & The Broken Bones (Paul Janeway) - Blackberry Smoke (Charlie Star) - Teddy Swims (Jaten Collin Dimsdale)... just gotta know where to look. These guys are all great fron... | |
| Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted @rluton call Holt Hill Audio in Lawrence, MA they truly have the best tech around and he's a Luxman, Accuphase & McIntosh Master Tech. Totally rebuilt my MA230 and it's playing better than ever. I waited for sure, but have other gear so wasn't... | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing I'd be looking for a quality preowned line stage. Thinking an Aesthetix, Calypso Signature or, if cash flow permitted, a Con-Jon Act2 or ARC Reference 5. The latter 2 are in the $5-$6K range and the Calypso maybe a bit less? 3 very different tube ... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? "Stand Up And Shout", Steel Dragon from the film Rock Star - Miljenko Matijevic supplied most all of the vocals. Big voice for sure. | |
| What preamp with both line stage and phono? If I were looking to upgrade, I'd strongly consider a preowned Conrad-Johnson ACT2. In my opinion, and just my opinion, one of the finest preamps available at any price. https://www.stereophile.com/tubepreamps/305cj/index.html https://www.stereot... | |

| Will an Amp change improve my system ? Big Star, Live at Lafayette's Music Room Joe Bonamassa, Live at The Greek Curtis Mayfield, Live!0 | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 Seems like this topic pops up every few weeks so I'll toss my Canor, DAC 2.10 into the mix. For $4K it's is as good if not better than all but the very hiend Mola Mola, Berkeley, DCS and Meitner pieces. I listened to a bunch in the $3-$7500 range ... | |
| Tune of the Day "Wichita Lineman" by Theo Bleckmann w/ Kate McGarry off Songs I Like a Lot / Songs We Line a Lot - they do a a nice job with this classic track. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Never went super heavy but did bang it our to Aerosmith, The Who, Cheap Trick, etc... a ton in HS. We'd crank things up in my best bud's Mustang through his Pioneer/Jensen setup on the way to hockey games. Great times! | |
| Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed JBL L112 should get vintage Sansui. An AU-9500 or AU-6600. A 9500 can be found under $2K and a 6600 less than $1K. Those two would be epic,... just my opinion. | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… Interesting post... I had Harbeth M30.1 bought in 2015. Loved them until I happened upon a little know speaker from Canada (by way of Belgium) called the Equation 7. Not a stand mount but a narrow, shallow smaller 2/way tower. Incredibly well buil... | |
| Any regrets in selling gear? Audio Note, Meishu Line... Good God, what was I thinking!? | |
| Tune of the Day Paul Weller, "The Changingman" off Stanley Road. An all time favorite artist as evidenced by my avatar. Been a fan since The Jam of the 70's |
