| I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for! In the late 1990s, my wife and I were in the Catskills for leaf-peeping season and our wedding anniversary. We spent an afternoon in Woodstock doing some window shopping that evolved into real shopping as often happens. I saw a small copy of the W... | |
| Think fast: What would you take? I’d take my memories. And once I’m resettled, I’d put some thought into why the fires are happening, how my lifestyle may be contributing, and make some course corrections. At the end of the day, our audio hobby is just stuff. In the meantime, the... | |

| Leave tube amps always on? I have a pair of Futterman OTL3s, modified from pentode to triode. If I’m listening and have to walk away for up to an hour or two, I leave them running. Otherwise, I turn them on, wait a half hour, and when I’m done, they go off. Reasons:- fire h... | |

| Analog or Digital and why? I’ve been listening to vinyl for 55 years. It’s what I have learned to listen to and what I have accustomed myself to. I have 6,000+ LPs, maybe 300 CDs. Digital sounds thin and sometimes gritty to me.I am able to hear - without knowing beforehand ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Btw, I just bought the 2-LP sets of the Jimmy Page remasters of Zoso and Houses of the Holy. I have all the Led Zeppelin LPs except for the last two. |
