ZZ Top-Dusty Hill RIP
Dusty Hill was as integral to ZZ Top's sound as John Entwistle was to The Who's. The Who know substituting for Entwistle is possible, but replacing him is not. Frank and Billy know the same about Dusty.RIP, Mr. Hill. 
Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" !

Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" !
I’m simply wanting to know whether connecting the Schiit Jotunheim to my Aqua La Voce S2 with a pair of XLR IC’s could result in noise or signal loss. It won’t result in noise or signal loss.100% certain Schiit and/or Aqua HiFI will confirm this.W... 
Carver and Tube Life
It was a very sad, but also sweet to see Almarg's contributions to this thread. When we lost him, it was an immeasurable loss.It was indeed.Fortunately, his contributions and lessons live on.  
Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" !
I am confused about this term. I’ve been told it can refer to either a type of topology or simply a type of connection. Both.Many components have XLR (balanced) connectors.Many of those components have XLR connectors for convenience, but they are ...

My Apologies to Miller Carbon
Is he overconfident? Usually, but justifiably so because he has tried whatever he recommends. A fact check...because it's pertinent.He was recommending Tekton well before he received his Moab loudspeakers, yet he had not heard Tekton speakers in h...

What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening?
MC may not have patience but he did tell you what to do which you gave someone else credit for the DBA. Proper credit where credit is due.MC learned to build his DBA (distributed bass array) from Duke LeJeune. Check MC's posts.Duke has been design...

What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks
A rare response to a guy who deserves none- you are wrong. As usual. You took that quote out of context. Either deliberately, because you are one of the ones who think its a good idea to threaten and harass (mailing to my home address, filing fals... 
What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks
It seems to me that MC is the only one who answered the question accurately. Not because He agrees with me nor because I agree with him but because he spoke the truth. Except his first post was derisive of those who use reference tracks, and is co...
