| Holy Grail Analogue Recording Big Band found! Thank you for suggestions. I've all of Gordon Goodwin's recordings. Guess what? My favorite watering genius, Bernie Grundman. | |
| Holy Grail Analogue Recording Big Band found! Highest caliber musicianship that should not only be enjoyed and appreciated, but carefully studied by practitioners of the art. These recordings are a pure clinic in tight ensemble work, balance of sections and outrageous solo work. These guys ... | |

| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds It's a matter of execution. I've a Sugden Class A 33 wpc, Luxman A/B 120 wpc. They sound different, but both drive well the ATC 20s, sealed cabinet. Both exhibit lots of control and drive. I would suppose the right difficult load could present ... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest Not arguing with Townshend product as I run their podiums under my floor standers. I've lots of systems experience with Quadraspire SVT and Reference X racks. They've done a lot of the heavy lift addressing multiple areas of vibration control. ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Rod Serling would say: Entertain the thought that the OP is having you on. While none of you've a shred of observed evidence that any of the OP's statements are true, you've plunged head-on into a frenzy of damnation. Perhaps it's all a prevaric... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please The Savior or White Knight Complex: People who have a messiah complex can have either good or bad intentions for trying to save others. They can get positive and negative outcomes from trying to save others (as can the people they try to help). ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @bikeboy52 I hear you. I sold 4 rental properties off in 2022. One left. Herding cats is coming to an end. | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Warning Will Robinson! In the end, it's not our stuff in jeopardy. So why so much concern? I had to replace a fire rated door in my house because the previous owner had punched a pet door in it completely negating its purpose. Important to me,... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan @snapsc Agreed. I’ve settled on my endgame speakers; ATC 50 actives. They came in very large factory boxes (saved) plastic wrapped on a substantial pallet. Hired piano movers to first move them upstairs and then assist manhandling them to install... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @drubin Well, nobody will build a set DPS-4.1 with NFC, listen to them, tear them off and build with regular 50 to prove that point. They both are excellent, just a matter of your dollars and your choice. Called into question is how good the I... | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? Ditching the $100 mark, Decware makes a terrific interconnect. Oft overlooked, I’ve owned lots of ICs up to over several hundreds of dollars a pair, and these are seriously good. https://www.decwareproducts.com/dsr3 Signal Cable also makes a very... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC Yes! And it is beyond weird. I first ran Cullen Crossover ll with good results. Onto Zavfino Prima, yet better. Then onto your aforementioned combo. Bang on! I've no technical explanation, only my ears. It's just right. I run an entire l... |
