| If you were serious about sound you would... Some of enjoy very old recordings that were recorded way before protools. They somehow sound real and wonderful. I'll keep my equipment. | |

| Idalia and Power Issues Good luck to you. Hope it's merely inconvenient and not disastrous. | |
| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? @decooney I am thinking the same about how many people have actually tried several new production tubes before dismissing them as sounding horrible. After some experimentation over the years with both NOS and new, my amp sounds the best it ever ha... | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 NOS tubes will test as new but not always look shiny and new.The reason they are rarely in the original box is the old thin cardboard disintegrated long ago so they often appear in rough shape.Brent will take care of it. He's a good guy. | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? I haven't watched the video yet but I will later on.Thanks for posting it. I used to have a Vincent (tubed) CDP which I was extremely happy with. It wasn't as resolving as my current equipment,but after some tube rolling I had no desire to ever up... | |

| Animals and audiophiles I've got three dogs.Two of them just leave the room if they don't like what's playing. One seems to enjoy almost everything and often lays close to a speaker blasting loud music. It doesn't hurt them and their hearing is fine.I know this because t... | |
| Is My Tube Amp Unfixable? Help Needed I'm not sure if this will help at all, but I used to own a pair of QS mid monos and one of them just stopped working. I sent it to Mike and he said there was nothing wrong with it and sent it back.It did work for a few days, then died again. The ... | |
| Dust Removal Same here,gravel road and three dogs that shed all summer. I keep them covered with squares of fabric and vacuum the speakers. There are custom covers you can buy also.There's one or two companies that come up if you Google it. | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question When I lived in a large city 20+ years ago a power conditioner was a must.I didn't realize how much noise was on the line until it was eliminated. Now being out in the boonies good surge protection is all that is needed now as there's no noise I c... | |
