| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? @jayctoy + 1 - I trust YouTube or any other reviewers no less than I trust people on forums, who are much more anonymous. I read and I watch opinions and I listen to what gear I can, and I decide what makes sense to me. Nobody tells me what to buy. | |

| Greg Kihn @goodlistening64 - Southern California boy? He was originally from Baltimore and then moved to San Francisco in 1974, and was one of the first artists on Berkeley-based Beserkely Records. SF and Berkeley are in Northern California. Just looked at... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! MSB makes some superb power amps as well as their DACs they're most well-known for.

| Bricasti M3 vs. Holo Audio May vs. PS Audio DS @dwest1023 + 1 | |
| DACs - Holo/Kitsune, Bricasti, PS Audio, dCS, etc I bought a Holo May in 2021 and had no problem corresponding with Tim Connor at Kitsune Hi-Fi; I had a number of questions about shipping and technical issues, and he replied to me within a day or two, often the same day, every time. That was then... | |
| Refurbished / Re-tipped Cartridges - Are they worth Buying? I might consider it, but only if there was some kind of guarantee and I'd be able to return it if dissatisfied. | |
| Why can’t “Side A” and “Side B” be a bigger font?!?! Yes, I totally agree with you and have this problem often when playing records - I have to take the record into a brighter room to see what the sides are! And some records don't have the sides listed at all.... @tony1954 - As for technically re... | |
| Greg Kihn So sad to hear this - the Beserkely legend; saw him play a number of times here in the SF Bay Area. Always loved 'The Breakup Song'.... | |
