uber, I've had Pandora Premium for a while.  Sound quality is nothing to get excited about, I got it mainly to get rid of commercials.  I don't listen to it for "serious listening".  Its AI is good and it does a nice job of putting together statio...

Prima Luna Pre vs Modwright LS100
I haven't heard the EVO400, but have heard some of the Primaluna integrateds.  Much more "syrupy" sounding.  It's beguiling, but I think it would wear thin after a while.  I'll keep my LS100 thank you. 
Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off?
I prefer the way they look without the grills on.  I keep them off my P3ESR but have left them on my Super HL5 Plus for the most part, mainly because they are in a high traffic area. I know they don't offer a lot of protection against an accidenta...

I'm glad I picked up that Chris Cornell collection recently.  One of my friends has one of his guitars.   https://vimeo.com/335476481?fbclid=IwAR3YuI8evKvoWO0-R5S5Hh9FHKGccEEUhsBAkM4WLuvSuNggcZSEl-x6jPM

What other hobby...

@uberwaltz When Audioslave formed, I never paid much attention to them because I was bummed out about both RATM and Soundgarden ending.  Lately I've been listening to Radio Paradise a lot and they play a lot of Audioslave on the Rock mix.  I have ...

I have a clear vinyl pressing of A New World Order.  Translucent purple would be cool.  I know colored vinyl has some pitfalls, but I enjoy it.  I just picked up a red copy of Steely Dan - Aja.  Haven't had a chance to listen yet.

@ovinewar ELO is good stuff too :) 
What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers?
@routeman21 That's about where my listening level is with my Super HL5 Plus with my 180 watt tube momoblocks.  When I really crank it, it goes to about 3' o'clock on the volume dial.  That's with my Modwright LS 100 preamp, which goes to 11!There'... 
D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef?
I call my system "Frankenstein".  Lots of compromises due to space limitations and budget.  Thankfully it works a lot better than Frankenstein's monster.I've heard the D'agostino M400 monoblocks at Echo Audio in Portland, in their old space which ...
