| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? 1- I truly dislike IPAs to the point I won't touch the stuff. Give me any variety of other beers please. 2- To my apparently flawed ears, I think Pass makes superb amps and pre-amps3- haven't heard any Ayre gear in at least a decade so my experien... | |

| Have I gotten complacent? In all fairness, it’s not a picture of me. That’s Patty Boyd, George Harrison’s wife, at least until Mr Clapton came along. | |
| Bricasti M1 owners- a question- I’m aware of what the owner’s manual provides. What’s interesting is that the unbalanced output is set at +8dbm and the fixed balanced output is set at +13.5dbm which is a bit odd as it should be double the unbalanced output. And yet by moving the... | |
| Have I gotten complacent? I don’t have the urge to upgrade/tinker and I really like what I hear out of my system. The two biggest things I’ve done in the last year are replace the front glass on a Mac tuner (typical Mac bubbling) and recapped a turntable power supply (45 r... | |
