Looking for a tube phono pre
Has anyone ever had a MANLEY LABS CHINOOK SPECIAL EDITION MKII and can speak of it’s attributes, sound quality vs the regular MANLEY LABS CHINOOK or other phono stages? I’m interested because they do come up used from time to time.  
Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions?
Has anyone ever used a IEC inlet with a fuses holder with a fuse and noticed any differences in sound before a fuse was used with the Truth preamp? Has anyone used a QSA Light blue and above or Synergistic Research Orange to Purple fuse with The T... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
The Class D has no such limitations and can drive a 2 ohm load. Reference: @spkrplus 200 watts into 4 will not drive Apogee speakers, Magnepans to great volume, various Wilson, etc. speakers. Thank you @ricevs and @tubeguy45 as you two have ...

This cat’s been out of the bag for a while. I think there’s been talk of it here for about a year at least. Yep, Ralph himself has causally mentioned he was working on such. 100 watts is just not enough for some speaker systems. I would go at...

@tomic601, This is from the 1973 Weather Report album 'Sweetnighter'. I didn't even know who Dom was or had anything to do with Brazil. I just thought he was an guy from India by his percussive style and his dark Brazilian skin tone. He's the cat...

@mahgister, Same for India... My thoughts exactly, as India was once part of Persia. This music is hauntingly similar. Perhaps the absence of drums, bells and chimes is an example of a single artist/masters performance of a particular instrum...

@n80, Did you try the AM stations?...:) Just kidding☺   @n80, It used to be that way but take a look at @mahgister’s post on this thread and press play. You will see he has posted an active video link of a particular artist with added commenta...

+@jbhiller, Great thread OP!!! Do you listen to vinyl or CD? Well, even if you don’t, I do like Discogs for research. I like to look at granular facts about an album, like where it was recorded, record label, release data, who mastered it and so...

  I found the most improvement on my Puritan 156 conditioner. Next in terms of level of impact was my integrated amp. Then came the dac and finally my server. This was my experience with my particular gear and system. Wow! And Puritan supplies...
