| Rush 50 (Anniversary Super Deluxe) I really like the sound of the live version of Vital SIgns on this recording. It is also nice to see a couple of recordings from 1984 Maple Leaf Gardens shows. My first concert was to see Rush on those set of shows. I think I was at the one they r... | |
| Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review @tmiddle Thanks, removing the spikes may solve both the issues I brought up. I never even thought about that. I sent a question to Townshend about this issue, and I hope I get a response. | |

| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable Only DAC that I thought had a good volume control was the Lumin lineup. I used the Lumin X1 and the Leedh volume control. It was ALMOST as good as the volume control on my Benchmark LA4 (HPA4) preamp. All other DACs I tried direct to amp were not ... | |

| Beware: Magnum Dynalab are not "doing repairs, upgrades or service right now"!! Congrats on the MD-108T. I listen to that M-F 9AM-12PM and it is a great tuner. I use the Signal Sleuth and the ST-2 antenna. I am near the ocean surrounded by mountains and the Sleuth and ST-2 are needed, All of my non-tuner gear is from Benchma... | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps The GAN1 modded by Rick was really exceptional. I ran my KEF LS50 Meta with them (or maybe non-Meta). The amp was more than capable of driving the speakers and the sound was fatigue free, detailed, powerful, and FOR THE PRICE the best sound I have... | |
| Favorite Albums Not in the Mainstream Found on Streaming Services @jsalerno277 Glad you liked the albums. Maceo Parker is famous for being in one of James Brown's bands. When you hear James's shouting "Maceo" in many of his songs, it is for Maceo Parker. | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps @lanx0003 I have bought and sold the AHB2 about 6x over the last 10 years (cash positive). The AHB2 is not that hard to find, maybe a little harder today. If you check on UASM you should see one pop up. The price of the AHB2 went up about 2 years... |
