| What are you streaming tonight? Leon Bridges - Good ThingDon't like it anywhere near as much as his first album - Coming Home. This one is less retro sounding but it is also less soulful and a little more pop sounding to me. A little hip-hop. A little cruder too content wise. He... | |
| Low End Bliss uberwaltz, it is in the South Carolina piedmont. Rolling hills. Farms. No incredible views but it has its own subtle beauty. Its on 250 acres and is one of the main reasons I don't have more cash for photography, cars and hi-fi. ;-) We built it f... | |

| Spade termination for Vandersteen 2CE Signature ii @erik_squires : What is cold soldering? | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? @oregonpapa : Almost every post I have had removed on Audiogon was meant to be and obviously was meant in good natured humor.I know that is tough for a moderator, especially if they don’t have the time to know various members or research the conte... | |
| What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ? I've never understood that specific characteristic but your description helps. Looking forward to seeing what others have to say.There are some descriptors that make perfect sense to me both intuitively and with experience but some do not. Musical... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? To be clear, there is no harm to the unit in using different brands (in pairs as mentioned above)? If I broke this thing I'm sure I'd have a hard to paying for repairs! | |

| Low End Bliss We said from the day we built the cabin that it would be dog and muddy boot friendly.I do wish the Polks had the natural wood finish (vinyl wrap). They are a bit mod looking with the black finish and silver face but beggars (tight wads) can't be c... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @rodman99999 : "Gold does not oxidize and I’d appreciate it, if these pristine gold tube pins weren’t repeatedly pulled in and out of a socket"Got it."Nor do tube manufacturers need to be the same"Wow. That opens up a lot of tuning possibilities. | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? What I have is DeOxit. Probably no reason to use it if the pins look good. | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @mofimadness : Thanks. I also have some deoxidizing spray that I used to clean and repair the pots on my old receiver. Should I apply this to the pins? | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @mofimadness : Very nice indeed. I am often taken aback by the kindness of folks I don't even know. I hope to be able to pass on such kindness in the future.Now I am a little worried about whether I will hear a difference or not as I don't have a ... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @rodman99999 : Thank you for your extremely generous offer. I would like to try that. I will PM you with details and arrange to compensate you for shipping, etc. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I’ve got some warped albums. Mostly thin 1980s stuff. How do you fix that? |
