Need A Top Quality Repair Service For My Vintage Luxman Amplifier
I used Music Technology in Springfield, VA for my Fisher 500B.  Primarily because they are convenient to me.  Nevertheless, Bill Thalmann is top notch and hugely experienced. 
Prima Luna vs. Jolida
I used a Jolida JD102b for several years in the early oughts, and a JD502b briefly.  I loved the sound of the el84-based JD102b into a pair of Soliloquy 5.0s.  Handed both off to a family member who soon ran into problems with the Jolida that did ... 
1/4 Inch Spade to 5/16 Inch Spade
Maybe one of the cable sellers (like Blue Jeans) could custom make you a jumper with 5/16 spade on one end and a screw terminal on the other?  Wouldn't be too terribly expensive, if it's possible to make it work. 
2 Channel audio room chair ideas
If you have a retailer that carries CR Laine, the Gotham chair is quite comfy.  The back is not too high, and it puts my ears just where they need to be.  It's also nice in that it has a fairly small footprint.  An advantage to any custom-ordered ... 
Zu Soul Superfly
I would love to hear other's comments on any of the new Zu' and partnering amps. I was going with Quad amps but have decided on Manley 300B SE/PP monoblocks instead.Soul Superflys with about 150 hrs on them, hooked to the 16 ohm taps of an Audio S... 
Would you pay to listen?

Please help identify song
Sorry, lost my header there. Meant to say that the guitar sounds like Tommy Emmanuel, but I'm not sure if that's his speaking voice. 
Please help identify song
But then I'm not sure that's his speaking voice there at the beginning. 
Noteworthy article on preserving audio heritage
...wonder who determines what is culturally significant and what isn't in a case like this.Curators, librarians, archivists, musicologists. And none of them ever get it right all the time for all the people. But it's what they do. And despite how ... 
Noteworthy article on preserving audio heritage
At the bottom of it all is the question of public funding for museums and libraries. I think that if one accepts the concept, the work in question becomes a matter of degrees. That is, is it too much, or too little. In my own opinion, it is critic...

Let the open market determine what is worth preserving.The market does not preserve. This is why we have museums. Also, heritage and history. 
The Hub: News, events, gossip: Come the REVOLUTION
Perhaps we are looking at this the wrong way 'round. Who among today's youth are we wishing could be wooed? Surely not all of them (though that would be interesting too). No, just those who share the desire to listen to recorded music that in some... 
The Hub: News, events, gossip: Come the REVOLUTION
I've had a devil of a time interesting the next gen in my family in decent audio. Not a scientific sampling, I know, but they're a bit too squirmy yet to sit still for a life-altering experience.The student entrepreneurs-- that's the ticket. They ... 
Zu Soul Superfly
I've forgotten if anyone had mentioned seeing the superfly in something other than the Cosmic Carbon? Any insight into the upcharge for that?Just spoke with Gerrit, who indicated that Cosmic Latte was a $100 upcharge. There is a picture of the Ton...
