| How Many Brimars Are There?? @whart , thanks for your comments. I find tube history very interesting, going back to when I would watch the TV repairman open the back of our B&W TV.Many people go for Mullards first w/o ever considering trying a Brimar. In fact, there is a ... | |

| Please help me find perfect dac for me Chord is a great choice. I owned one and liked its sense of realism. I highly recommend you replace the stock wall-wart (switch mode power supply) with a linear PS. This upgrade will result in a more dynamic presentation and a larger soundstage. | |
| The 10 Best-Sounding Concert Halls in the World @schubert and @folkfreak , I truly envy you. Big mistake on my part not to take in some performances during visits to Europe. | |
| The 10 Best-Sounding Concert Halls in the World It should be no surprise to any fan of symphonic music that the "shoebox" design would have superior sonics. It’s been effective for hundreds of years. The newer concept designs listed in the article have not been reviewed yet.It’s widely recogniz... | |
