| How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. Personally, I learn about new gear becoming available via YouTube videos, and I watch reviews on there and do further research in online articles, forums, etc. If I can, I'll try to audition, but that sound in the shop may not be at all what it so... | |
| ISO: Tube headphone amp for Planar headphones I'd recommend the Quicksilver Headphone amp, and it should fit nicely in your budget.... Excellent out of the box and even better with some judicious tube rolling. https://quicksilveraudio.com/products/headphone-amplifier/ | |

| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?

| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. If you can find a Technics 1200G at a good price, that might be worthwhile for you; it was for me.... Plenty of good carts for around $1000.... | |
| Physical degradation of CD's Unless the laser was writing to the disc, I don't see how it would adversely impact it. Don't know for sure, though. | |
| Phil Lesh This is the first I've heard of this, though I've gotten a number of calls and emails since. Dang. Phil was one of the great ones, and the first of the band to revive Grateful Dead music after Jerry died. RIP Phil... | |

| The Great DAC Mystery How can measurements be so incredible, yet many continue to prefer DACs that don’t measure so well. I'd guess it's because ears, rooms, brains, and gear are not the same as mics and measuring equipment, and isolated chambers. Unless you live w... |
