| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." One thing to consider is when reviewing HEA, there are rarely objectively "bad" products to review. It's a competition for preferences above a certain quality threshold. So regardless of the incentives, it's easy to say good things about good thin... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS +1 for the Schiit BitFrost 2/64. No ESS chips and clever engineering to use 4 chips to optimize performance. Like most Schiit products, it's a phenomenal bargain. I'll upgrade mine eventually but it'll take something special to impress me. | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! It's a great album and sounds beautiful. Woodland Sound Studio is a storied Nashville place that has a long history.

| Anyone replace the springs of a Nobsound footer? I had the same problem. I replaced them with SVS isolation footers. They're amazing. | |
| Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later. Here's one you might not know. Soul Flutes - Trust In Me I bought this in 1968. It was considered an "underground" album at the time. The story was that all the musicians were on an LSD trip during the sessions. Don't know if that's true. It'... | |

| ???Safely Trading Gear Between Private Parties??? I did a trade on USAM last year. The other party and I exchanged several emails, establishing trust and a way for us both to feel comfortable. We talked about packing, shipping, and insurance. Then we exchanged photos of our gear packed and labele... | |

| Bryston? I have nothing but good things to say about Bryston. Their MO is not to be the latest new thing, but to carefully refine their designs and bring only real improvements to their products. The Cubed series is a step up from the previous line. It's... | |
| How do you A/B amps in your system? I have a Schiit Kara preamp. It has three gain settings including a passive mode where the signal goes only through the RL volume control, and if the volume is wide open, not even that. There are both SE and balanced inputs and outputs. I can con... | |
| Room Treatments and Orientation for Unfinished Basement Listening? You can find a lot online about designing listening rooms and studio control rooms. I would start there. Some sites let you put in room dimensions and materials to get recommendations. GIK Acoustics is a company that will analyze data from REW mea... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? The Yamaha is an integrated amp. So the volume control follows the preamp section gain structure. If that unit allows the use of an external preamp with more gain, the volume knob won't have to be turned up as much, and the power amp section will ... |
