| a rant @curiousjim I built the Hafler kits, DH220 and accompanying preamp. Great value for the money and time spent. It was definitely Class AB, with the huge MOSFET transistors and enormous heat sinks. I used the pair in one system or another for 40 yea... | |
| State of California reaching for Sales Tax @gordon I've had the same problem in California. Bought a pricey painting from a dealer in Italy. Had it shipped to California, and voilà, I owe sales tax. | |
| Rays Tubes @emergingsoul I really like their pizzas. Famous, Original, or Famous Original? | |
| Rythmik Audio on The Intellectual People Podcast @jtwrace Thanks for posting this. I own a pair of Rythmik subs and couldn't be happier. Brian Ding makes a great product at very reasonable prices. I've add this video to my listening queue and looking forward to hearing what he has to say. | |
| Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both? Looking at the fingerboard is definitely not good for my neck so I'm currently experimenting with postural changes to see if I can lessen the negative impacts. @stuartk Just don't end up like this: | |
| Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both? When I’m paying close attention to the music, I tend to have my eyes closed and the lights dimmed. I think that by reducing other sensory inputs, my focus on the sound is heightened. I am an amateur musician, and when I play guitar, it is often w... | |
| Are EL34 based amps more musical than KT series based ? Or it's purely a matter of design? IMO purely a matter of preference. I have sets of both, but generally lean towards the EL34 sound… finesse over power 😉… | |

| What does your Virtual System page say about you? Thanks, @ghdprentice ! | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? @macg19 Ain’t nothing wrong with being a 3! | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? OK, finally listed a Virtual System https://www.audiogon.com/systems/11907 Thanks for the push, @ghdprentice @jond and others. Please forgive the messiness; this is a temporary location and I’m just not putting any work into clean cabling / ro... | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? @carlsbad2 You are assuming all order is a conscious decision. Subconscious could be enlightening, too. I know some people who stock their pantry all labels facing forward, and some who are more haphazard. May not be a conscious decision, bu... | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? OP, Get out your phone and take a photo, post in the virtual system area. Takes only a minute. you can post a new photo with each change. It would be fun to watch. @ghdprentice I will do so this weekend. Thanks for the push. | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? @newbee Doh! I didn't think about just listing my components, without pictures, as you did. That would solve my "too messy to photograph while moving too frequently" problem. Maybe I'll add a virtual system soon... I also wonder if people who use... |
