| Your favorite recent discovery Leon Bridges "Coming Home" | |
| The missing piece For me definitely my Deja Vu Audio El-34 PP tube amp, especially after getting it recapped with NOS Aerovox caps. Another piece I love and can't see ever parting with is my Yamamoto YDA-1 Dac just a superbly musical piece. | |
| Primaluna Prologue 4 tube upgrades I'm an EL-34 fan myself, and own an EL-34 only amp, and I would say check out the Gold Lion KT-77 this EL-34 variant to me was a huge upgrade in my amp over the likes of JJ, EH, etc. A very worthwhile upgrade and inexpensive as tubes go. This will... | |
| ATC P1 amplifier I have to agree with George that's an extremely long cable run, particularly for a single ended interconnect. Definitely try a shorter cable. Something else to consider your driving a high sensitivity speaker with very benign impedance that was de... | |
| giant killer xlr's Check out Cerious Technology as well, Robert's cables are really fantastic and great values. I haven't tried balanced cables, my setup is all single ended, but well worth checking out. Definitely beat AZ Silver Ref II in my setup. Happy listening! | |

| Classic Rock Quiz I got 60% which is 12 and I swear the only question I didn't guess at was Jim Morrison's indecent exposure arrest. | |
| Has Anyone Tried the Sonos Boost? Thanks Mofi feedback looks good from the few who tried it thus far. | |
| My Revel F30s Interesting I would personally not describe Sonus Faber as hyper detailed to me more on the warm side of the spectrum. So are you specifically looking for speakers that image better? What do you like or not like about your Revels aside from imagin... | |

| Tidal HiFi Test - how representative? There are 33 albums by Gary Moore on Tidal. Is Ball & Chain an album or a song? | |
| Tidal HiFi Test - how representative? I wonder if the folks who say $20 a month for Tidal is too much think about how much a month they use to spend on CD's? I know I was regularly spending $50/month netting myself at most 7-8 discs. For less than half that I can listen to literally t... |
