| I Am Not an Audio Snob I have owned the schiit Lokuis for a couple of years now and love it! It is dead quite and is especially helpful with that vintage vinyl that has seen a few miles. It's also an important part of getting my listening room to behave for some record... | |

As an older gentleman, I also find my hearing is changing and that I need a tone control, I have therefore incorporated a Schiit Lokuis 6 level tone control into my system. It is fully balanced in & out (RCA's are also there for my tube amps w... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? I usually play with the resonator installed, but I agree it's heavy. I play sitting down with the banjo in my lap so it's not so bad. I also use finger picks with the banjo but don't use a pick at all with the guitar, go figure. | |

| Has Your Hobby Changed? Congratulations on the retirement, it may take a bit to slow down, it took me a few months just to get my stride. Been retired for a few years now, still work sometimes but that has slowed as well. I have re-investing in my music hobby since my re... | |
| Audio Research Gain Settings on Line Stage Amplifiers russ69 & skucie thanks for your input, I have adjusted the tube amp output and I will try different gain settings on the Preamp to see which best suits the tube amp. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile I started enjoying music and getting lost in it early in life, singing in a choir, I have played music and sung my whole life, music is how the "Light Gets In" and the magic begins. Reading these comments brings a smile to my face. Its the music t... | |
