| I am getting some new tubes for my amp, and I want to do a 24-hour burn in. How? I never leave tube amps on unattended, preamps and other tubed equipment may be ok, never tube amp. My two 845 SET amp owner's manuals specifically state amps should not be played more than eight hours continuously. Push pulls and lower powered SE... | |

| My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital In building a number of systems over twenty years I've experienced so many variables in regard to vinyl vs. digital.

| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? As has been previously mentioned, They're Coming To Take Me Away by Napoleon XIV.

| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I suspect youth are a large part of vinyl resurgence. For those who've grown up with digital, vinyl is a novelty. The large format of vinyl, album covers and gatefolds with unique art and words of interest make music contained within more personal... | |

| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? melm, Jinbo shouldn't be fearful of high profile 005 review if he has any confidence in his product. Based on my experience, 005 would excel. I've thought about starting thread for 005 here. My issue is I only want to provide review after comparis... | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? He should understand high profile reviews will be needed to sell in numbers. As it is, I can only state how 005 compares to a couple of $1500 dacs, well worth the extra money for me. My present plans are to get a Holo May in fall, definitely want ... | |

| VINYL SUCKS! The major difference for me is digital streaming is about new discoveries, massive genre changes, all within one continuous listening session. Like my favorite mix tape all the time. Vinyl is mostly about nostalgia for me, memories of way back lis... |
