| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? I always touch the tubes using a soft clean tissue. Even while powering on and off the gear, if there is a clean tissue at hand I prefer to use it. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Recently I also thought that it's almost time to somehow round down, don't think that much about upgrades and enjoy the music.

| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype I found that synchronizing my clock with the DAC, transport, and DDC took my digital sound to a new level This can be interesting. Could you be more specific on which kind of improvements you noticed with either the clock synchronization or you... | |

| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @stuartk We all may perceive the sound differently. I just like tube sound and prefer my tube DAC over all other ones.

| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? There are no must have albums you should listen different jazz musicians and get a feeling and your own taste of what you like in jazz. | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype After a quite long time experience with DACs of different categories and prices I'm convinced that they make minor changes in overall sound reproduction and quality. I suggest all of them use similar kind the conversion methods, whereas the hardwa... | |

| Black Sabbath and Jazz fans? I would not mix hard rock with jazz I still fully enjoy Black Sabbath and other my favourite rock bands. I am a big jazz fan as well spending considerably more time listening to jazz and classical music, but occasionally when my wife is not at hom... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Coax drivers for mid and high range help in a better two way design and the sound is perhaps more coherent in such two way and even more coherent in a one way design than in a three way speakers. | |
