| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! The concept of a test song is tricky. I have certain songs that I consider torture tracks for a vinyl rig (Slim Gaillard - Jump Session - 78rpm) and other songs that I feel like run the gamut of a full spectrum sound (Radiohead - Pulk-Pull). These... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? I think a good amount of big band is being preserved by the dancers. I was at a dance this Friday - with a 9 piece live band. Great musicians. 200+ sweaty 20-somethings eating it up. It is not being re-issued as quickly as other genres of music fo... | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? We have 2 ears. 2 channel makes sense to me. | |
| The character of analog and digital +1 @david_ten I think many are looking for an absolute truth. To accept that they are different is to believe one or the other is ‘wrong’. People should get over that. I generally try to listen to music in its original source - at first. Then I ... | |

| How much is about the recording I always use spherical styli (Denon 103) for cuts with low dynamic range. Save the micro-line for the audiophile versions. There’s an analog solution for everything. | |
| Dedicated room suggestions The general rule of thumb is to use the short wall, unless the short wall is so short you can’t get a good equilateral triangle between yourself and the speakers. | |

| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I meant hum pots. Damn spell check “Hum balance pots are usually found with filament type tubes being operated off AC. AC on one pin is in opposite polarity of the other filament lead. The hum balance pot adjusts to a point where it cancels.... | |
| How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement Base reinforcement is one thing, soundstage is another. Low frequencies come out of the speakers in 360 degrees - so pulling the speakers out from the front wall allows the low frequencies breath behind the speakers and adds depth to the soundstag... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I’m also interested in hearing feedback on the R300. Interesting to see dual mono rectifiers at this price. My gut is not to trust a directly hearted triode without him puts - unless they are there but not described. Hard to fault an amp if it sou... | |

| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I think you hit the nail on the head in the original post and everybody has rolled right over it. There is a cost for rarity - and there is an economy of scale. That is a big part of costs. Paying for design, parts, quality and the living wages th... |
