Please let us know how you like them. I try to buy American and might be willing to give them a try.

Los Lobos, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, Spirit

"Edit: I have no idea why 90% of the media I find for sale is Ray Coniff." Thanks for the laugh. My parents' Ray Coniff album was next to the Pete Fountain, "Mr Stickman". I wish I still had them to give them a twirl.

Looks like I might be able to stuff two Tyrs into my "credenza". How warm do they run at lower volumes? I can run the Vidar with cabinet closed. Do you think I could hear a difference between Vidar and Tor at lower volumes, i.e. 70 db?

Looks great! Will you be using the Tyr standby buttons or will you power up/down completely vis the Furman?

Happy birthday. Hoping you're enjoying listening to some Jefferson Airplane on your Cornwalls.

Buy a used fluke 87. It will last a lifetime. Sometimes the display will ghost but it can be addressed.

I use a Schitt Eitr which is a USB to SPDIF converter to connect my older Adcom DAC which doesn't have USB input. . The other day my Mac mini would not recognize it. I tried multiple restarts of the computer. I turned power off and on to the Eitr using the Eitr's power switch. I removed...

That Song About the Midway, performed by (and owned) by Bonnier Raitt, written by Joni Mitchell. The man cheating on the midway (on Mitchell ) was David Crosby.

I have an induction stove and use Vollrath cookware. It's industrial strength commercial cookware that isn't expensive. It's not shiny like All-Clad, it is satin. Great stuff.

I'm a Schiit fanboy and bought the Loki equalizer. I didn't like it all. Also bought Rane 24 band equalizer and didn't like that either. All my music is on my computer (mac mini > audirvana > audio unit 1 > Schiit Gunnir dac > Schitt Freya preamp > Rotel power amp > Vandersteen speakers and...

I've had mine going on three years without problem. I don't always run it with the tubes - you have to physically remove them to use it this way. If there is a reliability problem I would think heat is a contributing factor. You can buy the Freya and Saga without the tube option for less...

Schiit Freya S or Schist Saga S are JFET. I own the Freya and recommend it. You can choose between passive, active JFET, active tube. I've owned Rotel and Adcom preamps and prefer the Schiit. I also owned a Nikko Beta 1 but don't have a memory that I can compare to the Schiit. The Nikko...

No. But dragging a diamond over your LP might. Just something to think about.

As you can probably tell by my name I am a fan boy of Apple. However, I am not comply oblivious to its possible invasiveness. Therefore at all times in front of my mac mini I insulate myself by tucking tin foil in my underwear. Be safe out there! And don't worry about Google or artificial...

This is how I do it. CD's > Mac Mini (apple lossless) >Audir > DAC or Qobuz > Audir> DAC. Either way is Redbook 44.1 16 bit quality minimum. Some of Qobuz offerings are higher bit rates, higher frequency. I believe the original recording quality is more important. I really prefer Audir...

I walked across the carpet last winter after charging myself up petting my dog. I discharged myself onto the volume knob of my preamplifier. The spark was truly impressive. It hasn't worked since. The original failure mode was no output. Several LED' s on the display were half lit. I found...

Empire 598 type ii Troubadour! Perfect for Time Out.

I run a mac mini 10.11.6. I installed the app and it supposedly was delivering music at 44.1 KHz 16 bit. It sounded bad. And when in the application if I moved the mouse the music would stumble. I then opened it in Audirvana which I use to play my library and it sounds great. I should...

Buy both and make the judgement yourself. The Topping you can return for no price penalty if you buy on Amazon. You will pay a restock fee for return of Schist. Personally I would buy the Schist because there probably isn't much difference, and I live in the USA. If you do buy both, and you...

Can't hurt, and probably a good idea. Excuse me, I have to go out to my garage and turn over the piston in my of generator. It hasn't been used too much since Y2K....

Peter Gunn on Amazon Prime. I really enjoy the black / white cinematography. The matter of fact brutality is a bit strange. The opening scene is almost always a strangulation, bludgeoning, or shooting. But as viewers we push over the hump and accept it.

I'll use my system as an example. I have 35 days worth of music on CD's. They are all loaded on my hard drive which is a Mac Mini computer. When I buy a new CD it is downloaded to the computer and then placed in the closet. To playback the music I use I-Tunes (which is free and comes on...
