Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
@noromance  We are entitled to our own opinions.  And that's what make this a wonderful forum.  As for Roger's upbringing, I don't see that it gives him any special insights.  Lot's of kids grow up without a father around.   
What do you do when you inherit some gear that you don’t want.
List everything on Audiomart.  Shipping to be negociated with buyer.  Use a known shipper and make sure everything is insured.  DON'T accept pament by PayPal.  Too many scammers out there.  Insist on payment in your hand prior to goods being shipp... 
Besides the Audiolab 6000CDT,
I've owned the 6000CDT.  Fantastic unit for the price.  Not sure I would spend a lot of time trying to find better in that price range.  I'm sure there are other opinions as everyone loves whatever it is they own.   
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
Went to see Roger in Edmonton a couple weeks back.  Bad sound and terrible stage layout for everyone that didn't pay $300+ for line-of-sight seats.  As for all his political B.S., it's getting really tiresome.  If Roger wants me to take his views ... 
What’s Voodoo power cords signature sounding?
Just listened to the 12 cables playing through a couple songs.  Neither I nor my wife could hear when a cable change had been made.  With eys closed you would not be able to say if there was only 1 cable being played or any other number of cables....

@jasonbourne52 I’m in your camp here, but like they say, you’re never a prophet in your home town.

Try This With Your SS Amp
@oddiofyl   In the spirt of full disclosure, I just bought a pair of Hegel H30 mono blocks.  Helgel has been the favorite SS amps I have owned in the past.  Got a deal on the last 2 H30s the Canadain supplier had in inventory.  With the new H30A a... 
Try This With Your SS Amp
@oddiofyl   Thanks.  There's been about 25 posts and not one has gone political or abusive.  Is it possible tube equipment could bring about world peace? 🤣

@oddiofyl  The two output tubes and the power tube are 845s  
COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO
Just to be correct, I think these should be called the "Monster" amps?  Afterall, Frankenstein was the Doctor, not the creation.  🤣  
What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had?
Back in the 70’s, I had some cheap car speakers mounted in cardboard boxes. They sounded like crap  But wait, after listening to nothing else for several weeks, they stared to sound pretty good. Was it the boxes? Was it all that weed? Hey, you ask... 
The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them
I have bought a couple MO Fi products.  LP and CD.  Can't see, or hear, what all the fuss is about.  I have 40 year old vinyl that sounds every bit as good as the MO FI original masters re issue.  Maybe if I upgraded my amps power cord it would al... 
Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet?
+1 for the IsoAcoustics Gaia footers with Gaia carpet discs.  Have used them on a couple different speakers with excellent results.  The carpet discs have spikes that secure to the floor.  The isolator feet sit on the discs and provide vibration c...
