Is today’s contemporary music lacking?
Guess I'll Google how to find good contemporary music. Any suggestions welcome. Streaming is the way to find good new and old music.  You want a controller app or software that makes suggestions for music that you may like based on the music ... 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
Looking forward to the results of the shootout.  Thanks for doing it. 
Anyone tried a reissue Brimar Thermionic Valve?
First I've heard about it.  It would be great if they could start making tubes in the UK again, although they would probably cost more than their current offerings. 
Are Lamm preamps hard on tubes?
I don't think there's any reason to question Brent Jessee's ethics.  Unless you have some evidence that he's selling used tubes as NOS I wouldn't do that.  He's been running a successful tube business for a while now and I don't think you can do t... 
The great Don Everly has left us.
Sad news again.  Losing one of the greats is becoming a regular occurrence.  The Everly Brothers certainly ensured that harmonies remained an essential part of rock n roll.I guess this makes it official that Jerry Lee Lewis is the last man standin... 
Vintage tubes - facts, science, technology & empirical evidence VS. marketing, myth & hype

What is it about spinning vinyl?
You guys are funny.  And so repetitive. 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
Utterly bewildered as to why Innuos take a bashing here at all. If you buy from someone who is not an authorised dealer then caveat emptor. I don’t see why Innuos would be obliged to tell you anything legally or even morally nor, more importantly,... 
Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass.
@bdp24, From what I’ve read, mostly on the Steve Hoffman Music Forums where there are plenty of opinions, the mix is the same but the digital may be more compressed than the vinyl. One reason for this is that the bass is turned up (what Dhani cons... 
All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow
@jafant, I’ve got the 5CD set but I’m not at home to listen to it . I listened to the remixed album through a sound bar with sub streamed from Amazon Music and I liked it. The vocals and some of the instruments were pulled out of the wall of sound... 
There us a Worldwide Panic on Availability of Vacuum Tubes
"Sleepy Joe" is a sophomoric put down invented by a narcissistic sociopath... A little touchy, are we? It’s really better to let a minor slight like that slide. The thread is more likely to stay about audio and not politics if you do.Fuzztone shou... 
All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow
@stuartk,  Yes it would.  Early reports are that it comes with a healthy dose of compression, unfortunately,.  Give it a listen with an open mind and make up your own mind, as always.
