is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable?
Whereas digital is digital, not much too talk about. You're wrong there.  There are many flavors of digital to enjoy and digital sound quality is progressing steadily.  All vinyl does not sound better than all digital, either.  Good digital can so... 
Go Buy Some Music You Deadbeat Streamers!
Streaming should be a great thing for musicians.  It's the most efficient way for them to get their music out to the public. Listeners can try all kinds of new music without having to buy a CD or LP that you may not even want to listen to all the ... 
Go Buy Some Music You Deadbeat Streamers!

To all PS Audio BHK preamp owners *** must read ***
Hi Scot, I just wanted to let you know that I tried setting the bias to 5mv with my Amperex 7316 tubes. I didn’t notice a big change in the sound. However, I am probably one of the worst people for this experiment. I have really bad aural memory a... 
Music Streamers

Thanks Ralph.  That's very helpful.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll give it a try. 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
Ralph,Would you fill in some of the details of what you know about power cords?  You've told us that a power cord that's not up to the job is going to hurt the sound, but what are the basic requirements for an adequate power cord?  One that will n... 
Tubes used in VTL 6.5 II preamp?
I haven’t heard the VTL, but if you decide to try NOS tubes, I really like the Amperex 7316. It’s a variant of the 12AU7.
