| Best Rock Album of 2016 I also like Lissie's album but Billy Gibbons ,Perfectamundo just flat out rocks. You won't find any clever lyrics or something drastically different but it is just pure fun to listen to. For current song of the year, I would select Maia Sharps "No... | |

The reason I ask is how much of what you hear is due to the power conditioning being done. I use 2 large Equi=Tech power conditioners in my system. The firs... | |
| CHINESE tubes? One has to be careful with broad brush statements when their are so many variables at play. I use a mix of NOS & Chinese tubes in my systems with excellent success. The NOS 845's & 300B's were just a little too expensive for my budget. I u... | |

Before using the latter, you need to make sure your gear is up to the current demands of this wonderful t... | |
| Music for cats... We had a Siamese that liked the Blues or just about anything with a predominant violin or cello. | |
| PS Audio GCPH Phono Preamp I had one for about a year & it was decent for the bucks. The output is on the low side so be careful what cartridge you pair it with. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I had an audiophile friend over for a music session this past Saturday. he has very good ears and when I mentioned that I had considered the Bricasti, he said he preferred the PS Audio DSD & that was before I installed the Pikes peak upgrade. | |
| Synergistic Research HFT passive devices review I started out with a set of five & I noticed improved detail and a higher soundstage. The one negative was that I noticed some inner ear pressure with some songs. The second set eliminated that pressure & gave me a more spacious sound. I i... | |

I have a pair of the Cary 211AE with an SLP05 preamp easily driving a pair of Martin Logan Summits which I have been told you can't do that as they don't have enough power. The sound from this combination is simply fantastic. I listen to a lot of ... |
