| How hot is too hot? I have an esoteric f03 and idle is 300 watts. It is uncomfortable to the touch for more than a few seconds. Have to turn it off when not listening here in Tampa The best of tube and solid state sq. 75 watts is a lightbulb left on | |
| What DAC to get? Audio gd r7 conventional. Fell in love with an Italian r to r dac but at 8k out of reach. Previously had ps audio separates but their price has gone above my range. Read reviews of the Chinese dacs without dealers and went With audio gd.95 percen... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I love the appearance of them and appreciate their holding value. I wanted to love them on my first system and found them lacking compared to modern amplifiers in the late 90’s. I recently came back to 2 channel and had the money for them and wa... | |

| What is wrong with my system? I’m not a fan of b and w but they are competent in design and manufacturing. Classe amps are more than adequate to deliver drive any speaker even with a demanding resistance and phase angle. A Bryston preamp is a neutral device that will drive an... | |
| so, i recorded a type 1, normal bias, on a 70s cassette deck, and it sounds FANTASTIC Cassette tapes were never designed for music. Tape speed and size were for voice recordings. Like lps.
