@audiozen Bonham learned his bass drum punctuation and triplet style from listening to Carmen Appice of Vanila Fudge. He managed to emulate essential aspects of what Carmen did with two feet on the double bass drum with just one foot and a single ...

If you clean your iPad charger contact is it true that a fully charged iPad battery can power your entire house for 8 weeks?I also hear Tesla is very interested in this contact enhancer as they can charge their vehicles in under a minute.

A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
@gryphongryph My simplest digital set up so far. DAC direct to active speakers. Pitch black.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6257I do get hiss from the TT when volume level is high - I don’t think you can avoid that. 
A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
“Do you hear any hiss from your speakers when no music is playing, or does the music come from a pitch black background as they say ?”Pitch Black no hiss not even a hint. No hiss even with one ear stuck right over the tweeter. Up until I got my ne...
