| Question on PrimaLuna EVO 400 Amp: Fully Balanced (Differential), or No? I know this is quite a while later, but I thought I'd follow up & close the loop.

| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year I recently finished reading Shiit Happened, by the founders of Shiit Audio, and can wholeheartedly recommend it as an insightful, often very funny, irreverent take on how to succeed in the audio business while trying (and working) really, really h... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Well I’ve seen some dogs in nearly 50 years of concertgoing, but one of the worst was Andy Summers (of the Police). Although the audience was very respectful and there to see him do his solo stuff (no one was yelling out requests for Police stuff,... |
