| Choosing between 2 preamps I’ve owned all types of Bat gear over 27 years. They’ve produced a lot of great products over that time. I’ve never been happier than with Bat gear. And their resell market is exceptionally strong. So buy it right and you’ve zero risk. Come to thi... | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? I absolutely get it. I’m retired and rarely even turn on my system. And I’ve got about $15k in gear. But my priorities have changed. And I’m probably spending too much time on the internet and YouTube! | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? Jazz stations? Absolutely! | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”…..Part 1: I have a plan Don’t make it more complicated. It’s not Rocket Science. | |

| Open baffle speakers @campo007 Congratulations, and Enjoy! You deserve them! Can’t wait to see how they sound after being broken in! | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? Why check for a Kit when you can find a low watt Dennis Had Inspire amp and preamplifier? They’ve been delivering the goods for audiophiles for 10 years, are extremely reliable, and sound fabulous. And, you can Tube roll to your hearts content ... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System Wait a second. You had the seller ship a fairly expensive item via USPS?! I’m sorry, but that’s on you. In all of my years I’ve never shipped items via USPS. Reason being, never, ever, skimp on shipping. Go big or stay home. USPS is NOT reliable, ... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? Okay, with so many opinions it seems no one here actually knows the answer to the question. Uh boy! |
