| Leaving my amplifier on ok? I run Hegel amps and wondered the same thing after reading so many different opinions. Questioned Hegel directly and was told to turn the amps off when not in use. They said leaving them on only shortens the life of electrical equipment. I list... | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated @newbee Now that reminds me of the Agnostic, Dyslexic Insomniac, who stayed awake all night wondering if there really was a Dog. | |
| Better Records vs MoFi Do I have to pay an annual membership to be part of the Golden Ear Club? When I read about $900 LPs I want to scream "Stop The Madness". But wait, why not just start buying all your records from https://electricrecordingco.com/ who are producing... | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated That's easy. You will hear a wider sound stage, 3 dimensional presentation and much tighter Bass. 🤣 | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings +1 for Joe Henderson State of The Tenor. One more favorite is Chick Corea Trio "Trilogy" 3 CD set of Corea, Christian McBride and Brian Blades. The sound quality of this collection puts most studio recording to shame. | |
| AI and the future of music I thought the 60 minutes AI segment was very good. The science fiction crowd will focus in on the destruction on mankind, while the science crowd will cheer the ability to perform 1 billion PHD man hours of research in a week. This morning I was... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! Bought the Rhino re-issue of Sailin' Shoes after reading your post. Next day delivery from Amazon and it arrived this morning. I own lots of Little Feat but that one was missing. Looked at the Box Set of Waiting For Columbus but thought, do I ... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? This is my all time favorite cartoon about the hobby we share. Substitute Tubes for Vinyl and it still works. 🤣 | |
| Questions on Dedicated 20 amp home wiring How open are the walls currently and is it easy to run the new line? If yes, I might suggest running two dedicated 12 AWG wires off two 20 amp breakers. This would give you a dedicated line to each of your power conditioners. Overkill? Probabl... | |
| Ayre v Hegel sound @dbphd "Anyone out there have an opinion?" That had me laughing. I have owned the H390 and found it a wonderful amp. Did everything and did it well. You don't indicate if you are looking at new or used equipment. If new, I would encourage you... | |
| Magico's M9 I read the winner of the Musk/Zukerberg cage fight wins a pair. Or was it grows a pair? | |
| What's the point of reviewing? Just turn the volume up and the reviews will not be mute. Of course, if you are reading the review that won't help and my comment is moot. | |
| Burn in vs perception Back when I was about 17, and had no stereo, I mounted a couple car speakers in 2 cube cardboard boxes, used some lamp cord as speaker wire and hooked them it up to a tape deck. Sounded like crap. But after a couple weeks, it was sounding pretty s... | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures Still working to find the optimal placement in this room. Have moved the Subs out to the side and forward, and moved the Hegel H30 amp back and to the side of the main equipment rack. This has really expanded the look of the room and un cluttered ... | |
| Stephen Stills @hickamore You are preaching to the choir. Powderfinger is tour de force and a favorite of mine. It's kind of silly debating who's the better songwriter. We all have our favorites and no one is likely to change their minds. But still, through ... |
