| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? Old white guys discussing rap and hip hop. Hilarious. You do all realize, it was born out of jazz? It is the urban music of our time and is a reflection of the disenfranchised of large groups of people. It’s not my thing, but I don’t... | |
| The 300B World Decware had released their new Zen Sarah SEWE300B amp. Very curious, but long waitlist at Decware for their products. | |

| I am considering a luxman 3600 tube amp as my first adventure into tube amplifiers? Was it the one listed on CAM that was sold? | |
| I am considering a luxman 3600 tube amp as my first adventure into tube amplifiers? As has been said above, I would be more concerned about synergy with your current speakers than buying a vintage tube amp. That, and the quality of the workmanship with the mod. Vintage tube amps are really basic devices. Capacitors, resistors, t... | |
| Tube or solid state Been listening to tubes exclusively since the early 90s. Tried other tube amps, but kept going back to my EL34 integrated, Just over a year ago, started listening to SS amps. Kept going back to the EL34 as it just sounded better than anything e... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? Seeing as I built my turntable, my speakers and my power amp, I have no idea what an equivalent commercially built set up would cost. My tuner, CD player, DAC and phono stage were all purchased in the 90’s. So for the performance I have, and t... | |
| Do you find yourself turning down the bass on Coldplay albums? Exit Music (for a film) seriously challenges a system. The droning tones in that track as it builds is a bit…much at times. | |
| Do Turntables sound better with time? I followed BMW’s recommendation for breaking in. Plus, the bike arrived with the restrictions in place. Now, a 200hp bike that is that light is a rather “intense” machine. Again, when the motor was fully available, I continued -as they called it -... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Interesting. Also interesting is how the geometry standards that are held on to with such fervor were all calculated when mono 78’s were the gold standard. Things have move forward a bit since then. Would be interesting to do a proper A/B compa... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power Consider that the power being sent to your speakers, is the AC coming from the wall. It gets adjusted by the transformer, rectified, filtered and passed through the output transistors. Ideally, the filtration inside the components is such that no... | |
| Do Turntables sound better with time? @secretguy thats because you didn’t plug it in | |
| I want more bass… You might want to try and run a 50hz tone into the system. Lots of options on YouTube for frequency sources. Then walk around the room a listen to what happens with bass nodes, peaks and cancellations. Its surprising that you are lacking bass, s... | |
| Do Turntables sound better with time? Not surprising. As has been stared above it’s a mechanical device, and most mechanical devices break in as parts set/wear into each other. My BMW S1000RR was limited to 9000 rpm for the first 1000 km. Then oil change, tune up and the full 17000 rp... | |
