| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up @jerryg123 Thanks. I stand corrected. My manufacturers, Hegel, Esoteric, Triode Audio Japan, PrimaLuna, all recomend turning equipment off when not in use. Oh well, whatever works for you is all that counts. Merry Christmas. | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to I think Nora Jones proves that anyone with a resaonably good voice can become a start if the "machine" gets behind them. She has a musical predigree, she's easy on the eys and a resonable singer/songwriter. But worthy of stradom? I've never fou... | |
| This may be of interest to some... On a serious note, I was self employed and ran a business most of my working life. Paid a mountain of taxes and never thought twice about it. I was happy to be fortuate enough to have to pay taxes. It meant I was making money. For the vast majorit... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up @bolong "The solid state cd transport and DAC are of course kept on all the time." I can see why you would do this if the equipment has a auto standby mode that kicks in (my Hegel H590 did but my H30 does not) but otherwise I fail to see the sens... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions I own and love the Rega P8 with the Alpheta 3 cartridge. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to my eye the P8 looks so much nicer than big heavy TTs. That's just an opinion, but there you have it. Great performance, great looks. Drop the... | |
| Which mono power amp would you choose and why? You may want to look for a Hegel H30 on the used market. The advantage being this 1150 Watt Mono Amp can also be run in Stereo mode with a flick of a switch on the back panel. Should meet your power requirements today and leave you the option of... | |
| The revolution has begun! @yyzsantabarbara If by the comment "I would take the GAN1 gear over the Boulder"..... it means that you, like myself, have as much chance of ever being abel to own a pair of Boulder 3050 Monos as say, a UFO landing in Times Square, being piloted ... | |
| The revolution has begun! When asked why he was selling, the answer was obvious. I'm buying a Peachtree GaN1 🤣 | |
| The revolution has begun! @asctim Season's Greeting. I have reinvented my system about 3 times in as many years. Thank you Covid lockdowns. I have come to the realization that it's time to stop the insanity. I'm embarrassed by the amount of money I have sunk into this ... | |
| The revolution has begun! @asctim Don't shoot the messenger. I just thought it was a thoughtful review. According to the OP, the amp in the review is not even the tech he's on about. Guess it's all above my paygrade. As it happens, I've made my bed with my end game sys... | |
| Which speakers to isolate first? Iso Acoustics makes an isolation foot that will work with your weight. The Gaia 1 is good up to 220 pounds for a set of 4. | |
| The revolution has begun! @ricevs For me, the review I posted above said it all. Yes he was impressed with the sound given the price point of the amp. But the final word was it doesn’t produce the sound of amps costing 5 or 10 times as much. If $3000 is your budget for an ... | |
| Experience buying from Europe? I have purchased direct from a retailer in England. Website and back & forth by email gave me a good feeling. Saved about 20% over local dealer and delivery was perfect. We're a global community. I always try to give my money to the busine... | |
| This can’t be serious??? Check this out at Dedicated Audio @jond Now that's just plain funny. | |
| Pink Floyd Quietly Drop 18 Live Albums From ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ Era As bands and record companies continue to mine their archives and come up with more ways to monetize the same, it really begs the question, do I need more versions of the same music? I remember buying the remastered 20th anniversary CD issue of D... |
