| Any modern rock recommendations? I'd like to suggest some female Rockers. Halestorm is more pop bedroom wall poster writing but driving. Call Me Crazy is a good tune. Dorothy is a great voice and songwriter. Slash thought enough of her talent to make an album together. I l... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Kenwood would be the name for me. In 1984 I graduated a Navy school in Idaho Falls ID. A $2000 bonus was mine for the extra work. On to the Fleet, finally. I knew my CJ7 would be my only personal refuge so I promptly drove to the one car audi... | |
| Longevity (our gear not us) @ghdprentice Sorry for the lack of clarity. If the failure issue so seldom arises why is the possibility weighed so heavily in the selection process? | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54557065735_dd79664a15_c_d.jpg While researching an antique radio with very unique hand bent, tubing like point to point wiring I got this search result. Silver Marshall radio of some type. | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI @duckworp Two completely conflicting sets of facts on the same question Who says AI can't learn, even on AG ;) | |
| Rick Derringer R.I.P @mrdecibel I just looked up those amazing speakers on HI Engine. Whoa, those look FUN. There is a freshly restored pair for sale in TN for about the 1976 asking price. | |

I did note that the obligatory AED in each room had silver wiring to match my hair. So yes, litera... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54276973197_80d2b5de32_w_d.jpg @dynamiclinearity Yes my DCM Time Frame 2000s are TL terminated on the front with two ports, possibly one for each 8" woofer. The pair dig So Deep even in my apartment. In my ol... | |
| KT88 Tubes @dogearedaudio Thanks! Dog on couch here enjoying some Dead. | |
| KT88 Tubes I am new to tubes but not troubleshooting electronics. Occasionally in my career I have used the swap method on some similar adjacent instrument only to kill that one also as the component itself was the issue. Is that a possibility with a bad t... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Taylor Momsen. Only women to front a band with seven #1s | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? I thought the 6 1/2 height was a typo for 8 1/2. Evidently not. It's nice to know that Gandalf brought the Shire some modern gear ;) | |
| Can using a bad tube hurt an amplifier? My 1948 Capehart has a main power supply in which the xmfr winding for the rectifier tubes is fused to prevent catastrophe. | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? The Music is You A Tribute to John Denver I just recently listened to this. Poor John got dissed a lot but made real music that plainly meant a great deal to listeners. Lucinda Williams is named in about every posting on this thread. She perfo... |
