| Russians display outstanding musicianship Glad to know you enjoy them, mahgister. They've done several US tours. I don't know if they can help bring the American and Russian populations closer together but I very much hope so. From what I've read, they've been received very enthusiastica... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mike_in_nc Good to know about the interface. I’ve had more pressing audio matters to attend to and as a result, haven’t bought a Max. Now, having read your post, I probably, won’t, as the distance from my listening chair to the Max would be mor... | |

| Determining exact power being sent to your speaker @mlsstl "I happen to be in the camp that is more concerned about the sound quality of an amp rather than whether it has a zillion watts" Just curious -- are you suggesting these two factors are mutually exclusive? I happen to enjoy both aspec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados BTW, the "spiritual Jazz" series is on the British label "Jazzman". Here is the discogs page for the series: https://www.discogs.com/label/528518-Spiritual-Jazz Not sure if they’ve all been released on both vinyl and cd. Thanks, @mahgister for... | |

| Why Do Cables Matter? @audphile1 "... You simply don’t want to hear the difference" +1 | |
