"@silverfoxvtx1800 Do you know what speakers will pair best with the Yamaha?" With some trial and testing, and needing to reduce the footprint in his living room, with all the tube amps going up for sale, and no more need for the recently new e...

Does your buddy want to save money since he is retiring? Because there are ways to make things simple without sacrificing to less than optimal sound quality. Not exactly. Without sharing too much - it’s more like he’s retiring from audio equipm...

To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out
