| ECD Mikey Hit's a Homer or is he Homer. So I watched pretty much the entire video posted above and honestly, the guy is harmless. Too much education & experience on this site and most all the audio forums to give his words much weight. He's a huckster looking to sell goods. His deli... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Got to sneak in a couple LPs last night,... Rufus, "Rags to Rufus" - Charles Bradley, "Victim of Love" & Faces, "First Step." Satisfying set! | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 +1 on the CANOR AI 1.10. Have had the opportunity to listen to it at length with Aerial Acoustics, Revel & Sonus Faber and it's been equally magnificent with each. Those are all pretty different sounding speaker brands with their own signature... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Shushi/Liquid Lunch on Saturday brought out an interesting playlist last night... Shuggie Otis, "Freedom Flight" on the streamer - gotta get this on vinyl! Then to table with Doyle Bramhall II & Smokestack, "Welcome" & wrapped with Elton J... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @boxer12 @bkeske - thanks guys... was good to see so many old friends come togther to celebrate a great guy who lived a robust life. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Home late from a Celebration of Life event for a close college buddy who recently passed. Melancholy day so needed to spin a couple (LPs and...) to wind down. Fired Golden Palominos "Visions of Excess" Buffalo Tom, "Birdbrain" & Steve Earle, "... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 - Been streaming "Black Acid Soul" a lot. It's a favorite at the shop. So tried to do some tax work but nope, back to the deck for one more twirl... Jeff Buckley, "Grace". Perfect night cap! | |

| My first tube preamp Manley jumbo shrimp Update: Swapped out the Sovtek & Mullards from the Calypso for new production Gold Lions all around. Needs more time to level out but all the info is now very present. The Calypso is without question a wonderful preamp. Not sure yet which one ... | |
| Improving Comcast modem signal I totally agree, Comcast is brutal... customer service is a miserable endeavor whenever I need to call in but have found that their routers are fine, in my setup anyway. Maybe this could be all connected better but here's my signal path. I have an... | |
| Need speaker recommendations. I use a Line Magnetic tube/SS DAC, the 502CA; amazing. I just slipped in an Aesthetix, Calypso linestage and also use a Manly, Shrimp and each are fabulous for very different reasons but both are an excellent match with the 7s. For amps I have run... | |
| Need speaker recommendations. @amitb @retiredfarmer - I am currently playing a set of Equation 7 and I can attest they are positively magical with tubes somewhere in one's setup. I have tubes straight through Cary, Manley, Aesthetix & Line Magnetic and they are just fabu... | |
| My first tube preamp Manley jumbo shrimp It’s incredible that I find myself chiming in on a 10yo thread but this is exactly where I’m at today. I have been fortunate enough to be gifted an Aesthetix, Calypso in like new condition. It’s now spending time in my kit replacing a Manley, Shri... | |
