| How many of you are digital only systems? 100% digital have no need for the hassle of analog recordings or tubes. Not saying some don't sound great. I learned my lesson when I was a kid my records had more pops than Rice Crispies, and My HH Scott receiver would burn tubes like matches. If... | |
| Buying used: how old is too old? I buy all my gear used and the only negative surprise I ever had was not from the purchase but from Technic and the parent company Panasonic. I found out these companies could give a rats patoot about their customers. A word to the wise never buy ... | |
| Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims? I buy used often, cars, HiFi, camera gear bikes and never have been ripped off. I attribute this to buying use locally and testing the gear. If there is a problem within a reasonable time ( it is used after all) I would knock on their door and the... | |

| attenuation Russ Thanks just needed reaffirmation that it does not add any distortion. MC as always you are quick to help rookies with your insightful thoughts.To answer your question both. The 20 dB lets me make finer adjustments with the other. But I'm con... | |
| Is louder better? All I know there is a wife's dinner's ready loud and an after-dinner loud. Before dinner, I find myself slowly cranking up the volume to whatever my head calls for at that moment, then returning after dinner that predinner level is way too loud. | |
| A strange business model for audio If I remember correctly in Tom Peter’s book in search of excellence he said the best corporations had three driving characteristics they took care of their employees, customers, and their local community while in pursuit of profit. Such a culture ... | |
