Ultimate test of bass - Lana del Rey's A&W
Took some balls for her to step out like that. From mellow melodic to intense out of nowhere.  It’s like a new style that I think works really well.

Job 225 amp $1,300 in 2017 HH Scott LK-72 $500 in 2019 McIntosh MC240 $1,000 + $1,000 for total refurb including tubes in 2022 Buchardt S300 “C” stock new $850 in 2018.  Pristine condition not sure where the “C” stock comes from!

ARC is point to point vs Rogue circuit board?  I could be wrong but I have owned a Cronus Magnum II and a VT-60.  Sure miss the VT-60 but the Cronus not so much.

Iowa Audiophiles
Des Moines Ia here.  West side.   
Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used
My Buchardt S300’s sound excellent matched with my HH Scott LK-72 integrated amp.  
A somewhat but not entirely rhetorical question:
Just had my HH Scott LK-72 gone thru by a local guy and it is not going anywhere.  
Favorite Guitar Solo
Jerry Garcia- Cats Down Under the Stars from How Sweet It Is cd. 
MQA is for chumps
Word on Chumps.  Chicago Transit Authority in 192 MQA is just plain weird. 
WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?
Lonely Weekend - Kacey Musgraves 
Chicago Transit Authority
Listened to this album hundreds of times since it was first released and the MQA 192 version on title sounds weird as hell.   
What are you streaming tonight?
