Back in the seventies, I was listening to Weather Report, Earl Kluge, David Sanborn some big band etc, but I listened mostly to Rock and a little Classical. A few years before I retired, I really started to lean more to Jazz trios, quartets, quin... | |
| Starting my showroom again I know several who maintained their company name, but now work out of their homes. The downstairs is the showroom and the upstairs is their living quarters. Just a thought. | |
| Doozy of an amp question I’m not a Mac fanboy, but if you are looking for a tube sound, check out PS Audio. Your ARC preamp will play well with their BHK 300’s or their new BHK 600’s. Both come with Gold Lion 6922’s in the input section and tube rolling is a snap. All th... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @bikeboy52 I’m in the same boat. Let me know what you find out and I’ll do the same with you. (Pontus ll to N200.) | |

| DAC for Aurender N200 I’m really happy with using a good USB from my N200 to the Pontus ll. Though I must admit that I haven’t tried ABS/EBU. | |

| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis Early Miles Davis. | |
| In need of a preamp with a prominent display @mushman What’s your budget? | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Always listened to Sabbath, Motörhead, Metallica, Disturbed, Living Color + | |
