Help me find this sound
Oh, man, don’t you hate it when someone doesn’t provide closure on a thread question?But hey, 19 years is better late than never, no?It’s been a heck of a journey, and I could have never imagined in 2002 where I’d end up, but I have far more than ... 
VR4 Gen1 + DNA-125 or HCA-2?
I have tried both amps with my 4's (Gen 1's, but with he 4to5 mods) and the DNA was a much better match. They HCA-2 sounded extremely thin and seemed to run out of power at rather moderate levels of volume. The DNA amp was fairly smooth, if a bit ...

Ten Percent Distortion?

What do you NEVER want to hear again???

What do you NEVER want to hear again???
