| Your favorite obscure song @larsman Yes, Duane Allman played guitar on the studio album (Boz Scaggs) version of Loan Me A Dime, and it’s some of his best work. However, on the Greatest Hits Live album, Matt Bissonette played guitar. The live album version is a more free f... | |
| Your favorite obscure song Boz Scaggs Look What You’ve Done To Me and Loan Me A Dime on the album Greatest Hits Live, Grey Cat Records, streaming on Qobuz. The first a ballad, the second a R&B masterpiece of improvisation. On the last few bars of Look listen to the fa... | |
| Isolation footers for ATC SCM100A Over 45 years I have tried spikes (‘80s), decoupling spring and bearing loaded footers (90s), and decoupling platforms (‘00s). As a technology, platforms gave me the best performance. The best I have found and my current reference is Townsend Se... | |
| Single driver full range speakers There are too many technical considerations and variables for a positive recommendation to modify your existing single driver speaker cabinets to accommodate a separate woofer without a crossover. While I recognize you built the existing speakers... | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? @madhusudan_ramaswamy Break in the 232 for at least 200 to 300 hours. The treble will mellow, the timbre will present with more complexity, and the stage presence become more dense like a good 15 to 20 year old bourbon. Did you purchase the onbo... | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? From my perspective, you have purchased one of the best sounding integrated amps on the market that is also an industrial engineering masterpiece from its build quality and aesthetics. I have the previous model, the 032. I previously had Krell s... | |
| SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp @jimbennet From you post where you warm up to the sound of a vintage low power Onkyo, you prefer vintage tube sound - warm, cozy, comfortable, thick, and laden with background noise - which is how the solid state Onkyo, and many other vintage soli... | |

| What do you care about in this hobby? I can only respond from my perspective and I do not believe we can reach an axiom, for this is a subjective hobby. I am first a lover of music, especially live, acoustic musical performances as well as recorded performances. Therefore, compositi... | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding @ghdprentice Acknowledged, and as always, well articulated. As I mentioned before, our goals for SQ appear very similar, as is our passion for live ancous music, even though we went in opposite directions with equipment choices. I have been to... | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding Normally I avoid generalizations; however, you have accurately listed the major differences between tube and solid state sound quality. The degree of difference over the years and with the introduction of modern tube design have narrowed, and man... | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room +1 @ghdprentice and @ticat | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? First and foremost, the ability of the system to express the emotion of the composition and performance. I have auditioned 7 figure systems that have accurate sound quality, but fail to express emotion and do not touch my soul, and other much les... | |
| Seeking a new loudspeaker, horn, single driver, concentric or open baffle Sort of similar to your post about 1 month ago and I assume you are still seeking a speaker you find musical.
