| Is a tube phono better than ss? Pops and ticks as an indicator of NF Ringing?Hadn't thought about that but would seem to make sense. Also I think I understand Frogman's comment about how lp surface noise sounds with tube amplification versus otherwise in general. I have been run... | |
| Does The Squeezebox Touch Have a Worthy Successor? Android based multimedia devices in general perhaps.Browsers, Tablets and smartphones provide the portable remote control interfaces people want and need.
