| Multiple inputs on DAC Thank you very much jeffseight and soix for the kind reply. I have not been able to figure out how to make the built in streamer in the Zen Mini Mk III to work with Deezer. The sound quality and selection of music, the interface I would hate to ... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? My biggest complaint about articles is spelling. I am not good at writing but can not help noticing spelling errors. It is like someone is thumbing published work from a cell phone with no spell check. This happens even on the article titles. | |

| Speakers with deep/powerful bass For pounding rock with deep bass the large JBL's are great. The specs on the low end say 33HZ. IF I had the money I would demo these baby's | |
| My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB? I compared a 100w / Channel Shiit Vidar against a 50W / Crown amp. The Vidar had slightly more low-end punch, but the 45yr old 50W Crown amp left it behind when it came to loudness with no distortion. I am not sure why? When I got a 30W tube amp ... | |

| Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues I can't help with Speaker Advice. Many good suggestions have been already made. My suggestion will repeat. Phasing correct polarity to the speakers. The other is to try KT 77JJ tubes or equivalent. Not only did I get remarkable low end from t... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll If someone is going to ditch their class A system because of heat, I guess a tube system is kicked out the door too! Really, the only drawback I can see in a class A is energy waste from heat dissipation. Enough it may raise the electric bill. Ho... |
