| Analog Upgrade itch I have a ref 2 + 4point + car 50 All I can say is good choice, either the ref or R will be good tables and sound excellent. | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change I inherited this hobby from my father. Being right at the edge between M. and Gen X. 1) It’s a solo hobby 2) It requires a good amount of dedicated time 3) It is expensive 4) It requires dedicated space 5) It does not give wow points in the f... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Chantal Chamberland -Temptations | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? Good thread. Still daily using my Thresholds SA/1 that I inherited from my father. About 40 years old now. Truly build to last a lifetime. |
