| GaN guitar amps? @jasonbourne52 Ha! There is no way your tweaky SS Fender FX/combo sounds as good as the older “relic” Twin you have- unless it’s just not functioning! I’m sure it may satisfy for low level practice sessions but when it comes down to getting re... | |
| New AES3/USB interface? @hedkase Just wondering if you were ever able to get this sorted out and what was giving you the problem? | |

| Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... Sound like those are good problems to have! | |
| How To Connect a DAC? Yes- there isn’t enough information going to your subs to make a difference. | |
| GaN guitar amps? YES! But I think it’s use would be driven by the style of music played with it. I have a a couple of solid state amps- one is really good when used with acoustic steel string/classical guitars and can be nice for mellow electric. When it comes to ... | |

| Any thoughts on Osborne grand monument? Obviously not RoHS compliant! I wonder if there are xtra fees involved with that? | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound @dlcockrum Thanks for jumping in. It seems this conversation has melded down to “hi-res” streaming service offerings vs the real thing, whether that source be a physical copy or a file of the original. I’ve never been a believer in MQA- read a ... | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound @redlenses03 Thanks for the comment! I too just finished auditioning catalog titles making notes of which to buy a physical copy of (CD). Ironically on Spotify no less! | |
