«40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!»
  My theory is that guys like gear. Period. Maybe in this country “Audiophiles” are shrinking but not in Japan, Europe and other spots on mother earth.  I got the bug early on. My Dad had (fifty plus years back) big Tanny's, Mac 275/Mac Pre, a... 
The best opening act you've ever seen & heard?
Leo Kottke for J.J. Cale or was it the other way round? In Northampton MA late seventies.   
Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)?
We moved and not my gobs of records. (I kick myslf now) but the umpteen CD’s that came with are now back in boxes due to kick a** streaming. Now ah days/daze you CAN be an audiophile (better put have a wonderful sounding system ) with no physical... 
Should speakers be upgraded before preamp and amplifiers?
@infinid00 Just sent your link to four people..So thanks. In the words of someone. "It's the room!"   
LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM
@kjl1065 I used Music City Acoustics to come up with a plan. They, like some others, will come up with a plan for no charge. For some simple work on your part like photos and measurements the result will be wonderfully successful. I did a very dee... 
Balanced vs RCA preamps
@atmasphere Had to look up supporting AES48 and found this. Thank you! Go to the head of the class. Heck, you could teach it! I don’t know if the RCA or XLR’s outputs support AES48 in the Raven Pre? I don’t think Don Sachas/Lynn Olson who designed... 
Balanced vs RCA preamps
Back to the Spatial Audio Lab Raven tube Preamp it is fully balanced and dead quiet. If you don’t need a lot of output power their suite (mono’s & pre) punch far above their cost. Like wow….Ahyho…  Years ago I was yacking with Mr. Internet, K... 
Balanced vs RCA preamps
Spatial Audio Lab Raven Preampr Has some of each.   
Has this ever happened to you?
“Don’t get discouraged. Be like Pepe Le Pew.” This one works too   “Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever” Napoléon Bonaparte      
Has this ever happened to you?
Reminds me of the old saying that goes “every time I find it; it moves.” Also ‘round these parts “if it an’t broke, then don’t fix it” is often ignored.   
Grimm MU2 Experience
@mclinnguy It’s not Grimm Brother.   
Grimm MU2 Experience
For what it’s worth. I now have the MU2 on one system and a MU1/Weiss DAC on the other. I tried them both on my big rig; the only variable bieing the connects. I switched those too. The MU2 is all it’s touted to be. Full stop. Both a great choice ... 
Preamp with separate volume control for each channel?
I have a Spatial Audio Lab Raven Preamplifier. Using the remote allowes for +/- on either chanell. Oh and it’s a beautiful PRE. Good luck.  
Takatsuki 300B $255 !!
@williesaid I can suss you are headphone user or are in regards to the 300B. That’s not in my wheelhouse except for the universality of the driver tubes, the 6SN7s, headphones, cabeling, etc. adding to mix of your delivered sound. i’d guess the dr... 
Takatsuki 300B $255 !!
@williesaid Not underwhelmed. Built a system around (using a pair of Linlaii Elite 300b’s specked tubes by manufacturer)  300B’s. Takatsuki 300bs are well regarded by many. Lot’s of stuff to read and cogitate over. Haven’t tube rolled yet. Bound...
