How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers?
@mswale if you are posting about sonicaps, I think it depends on the speakers you are using them in, I haven’t found them to sound bright whatsoever, especially compared to clarity caps.  
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
@deep_333  you do realize that the only reason most young people have a large playlist is because they don't have to pay for it, they actually expect it to be free.  
Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass?
Damping factor measurements of an amplifier doesn't make much if any difference. I have had amplifiers with a damping factor of 150, that had better bass than amplifiers of over 800 damping factor.     
JK Richards PS Audio DSD MKI transformer upgrade
@jk_richards  perhaps you should read the rules of the forum.  
Anyone else constantly curious about amps?
@jrareform  this is the same guy who says a sound card is just as good as any DAC.  
Considering a New Tube Pre-amp
If you are in Canada, I would check out space tech labs, you can actually call them and Al the owner will recommend one of his many models that would work best for you.  
Re; Dynamics, Class D vs tubes…
@daytrader you don't need an amplifier with a 100k input impedance with many tube preamps, there are many made today that have a low output impedance.  
Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?
I never used gloves, even when I removed my 3b22 rectifier tubes, which run hotter than most power tubes, and have a 6amp filament current. I sometimes leave them on 24/7 and have had no problems for over 6 years.  
Dan D'Agostino Pendulum Intergrated review
@overthemoon  I wonder if this integrated amplifier has a regulated output stage, it would answer the question why it doesn't need a lot of power supply capacitance.  
Did I Expect too much?
@gdaddy1 the prices PS audio charges for direct buy don't seem to be any cheaper than they were with dealers, just more profit for PS audio.  
Did I Expect too much?
@kennymacc  it's pretty ridiculous when a home audio system cost as much or more than an automobile, I bet the auto industry has a lower profit margin per car than high end audio per system.  
Do vacuum tube test values reflect sound quality?
@lewm  one section of a dual triode could be used for the gain stage and the other section could be used as a cathode follower in a single ended preamp. So both sections still being used.  
Chevy Silverado Truck Spanish Ads on Audiogon
I been getting that same add from time to time the last few weeks, it's a full screen.  
Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ?
High damping factor in my opinion gives artificially tight bass, or one note bass   
Krell Moves to new location
@devinplombier I have to agree, it doesn't look like a factory repair center, in fact Mr. Carlson's Lab on YouTube looks way more professional.
