The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma
The DSP feature on my streamer/DAC has EQ. Seems to work fine.  Also my 40 year old MAC C33 preamp has a variable Fletcher Munson knob and a 5 band equalizer.  I used this to dial~in bass to my Klipsch Belles for 20 years until I bought my first s... 
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I started this thread last November. I finally received my Caladan’s today. I haven't unboxed them yet but once I do, and have some run time, I’ll let you know my thoughts.  Over the summer I also ordered and received custom Volti Rival speakers w...

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS
I have all of Mark K’s solo albums. One of my fav tunes is ‘Back on the Dance Floor’ from the Down the Road Wherever album. Well recorded and totally rocks out on my system. I also like what he did with EmmyLou.

Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I spoke with Clayton last week. I have invoice 173.  He thought I might see my speakers by the end of April but couldn’t commit 100%. I’m hoping for the next 2-3 weeks.  Room’s ready!

Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
There’s a Hot Tuna box set out with 2 sets from the Sweetwater and 1 set from Japan. The recording is really good. Jorma Kaukonen is on guitarist/vocals and Jack Casady’s bass is a standout. These guys were early Jefferson Airplane members that we...
