MC: was it the Reflection that you got? Yeah I think it was, but he’s that oblivious to what’s going around, he’s now also become a fuser on top of it, save us🙏That avatar of his, is Einstein trying to tell him something very personal. https://c8....

"All The Nasties" with that crescendo-ing outro has some real magic. "All The Nasties" brilliant!!!!!!! Called being uncompressed back then, when there were no iphones/tablets/earbuds/walkmans etc etc to blow up and the earphones when the big ...

I tried using the SYS with a phono preamp Of course, many phono stages have nowhere near the output a dac or cdp etc has. You need to find one of the many phono stages that have >60dB of gain for that to be able to be mated successfully with a ...

Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
Sorry, wrong Curly, it was tweak1, same same.tweak1 My EVS 1200 has dual muting switches. Will muting them be as effective? I said"Muting"If your referring to keeping electro caps in great condition just by muting, NO!Only being switched off fro...
