RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It
Nicktheknife, this may be a stupid question since you have owned it 6 months but how many hours of music running through the RME do you have. Do you leave it on 24/7. I found it didn’t sound right until it had a month of run time on it. Have you t... 
Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts
I just now found this out running across this post that’s sad. bdp24 sometimes less is more, I been playing since a little kid and have always thought he was unique and awesome. He’s doing more than you think he plays with his wrists and I love ho... 
Anybody own a component that sounds better with the cover off?
If you really want some bizarre reading go to Mapleshade Audio and read his suggestions for good sound. One of them is never run gear with the covers on. Some of his stuff is out there but a lot of it works you have to let your ears decide.  
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
Emailists, I used the elite 15i not the reference 15 series. I demoed a reference 7 in my home, I believe that’s what is was, it had a silver face plate. I thought it was a nice conditioner and improved the music. It was the cheapest in the refere...

Need more power, Bi-amping does it work or does it just sound wrong
If I did buy a brute amp instead of a matching amp to run the low end and choose horizontal biamping how would you put a passive volume control on the amp, I’ve never seen that done? I did modify the crossover with better caps, inductors and resis...

Favorite Platform for Linn LP12
I do not have my lp12 anymore but did use the target wall mount. Before that I used IKEA lack table top on resting on many different footers. I don’t understand all the dislike for the lp12, with a good power supply, bearing and arm it’s a very en... 
Audible wow on Well Tempered TT
Origin live is the only one, I believe it’s a 35.1 if memory serves me, please don’t quote me on that. My WT has been in the closet for a long time, great table very quiet but have to agree with armstrod it’s fussy and silicone depth needs to matc... 
MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING
I have both adapters and prefer the 6sn7 gray glass RCA vt-231, nice bass and natural airy detail. The clear glass and black glass are nice but always go back to gray glass. I thought I would like the ken rad vt-231 with big bass but didn’t work f...

FEX EX Damaged New Legacy's
I've always used FedEx or asked anyone I purchase audio gear from to please use FedEx. Then my son while on Christmas break got a job at FedEx loading trucks. He told me stories that were just hard to listen to knowing my gear may have had to endu...
