| Whats playing on your system today? Tedeschi Trucks Band, I Am The Moon. Not their best album, but still a good listen. | |
| CD player suggestions... Hey @tweak1 Did you put a LPS on your 6000CDT? If so, what was involved? Thanks. | |
| Recording Degradation on Recording to reel to reel Back in the day, I had Sony, Teac and Revox reel to reel recorders and I bought many pre recorded tapes. One of my favorites was Abraxas by Santana. When new, it sounded amazing! But after more than a few plays, you could hear the hiss increase ... | |
| My New DavidLouis Full Range speakers now finished Hi @mozartfan I’ve been trying to Google David Lewis DLVXSE6 speakers and can’t find anything other than a hifi store in Tennessee. Will you post a link? Thanks in advance. Jim | |
| Cable burn in @chiadrum The Audioquest Monsoon power cord is a good place to start. It’s $495 for a 2m cord and there’s one for sale here on Agon for $299, make offer. I know I’ve seen them for $250 delivered not to long ago. All the best. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Lol, listening to Poppin’ right now😁 | |

| 100% USA designed & made DAC I doubt there’s any American designed and built DAC that has all American parts in it. Just like GM is an American company, but it’s vehicles are built from parts from all over the world and they are assembled in several places outside of the US.... | |
| How many people do you think have the same DAC, amplifier, and speakers Oh, and @oddiofyl BEAUTIFUL amp! I’m betting it makes those Forte’s sing! I’d love to try a 300B amp someday. | |
