    Peter Gabriel's 2023 album "I/O"

    This brings me back to a thought I've had a lot lately - how far are we from having access to creating our own mixes. Lets say I have a particular "sound" I prefer - imagine a scenario where our audio rendering tools can adapt for that preferred mix for "my sound". Imagine having that kind of...

    Fosi Za3 or used integrated?

    I've struggled in the Class A/B vs ClassD struggle recently. But getting my zA3 yesterday did ac couple of things. First it showed me it is a real thing - I also have the V3 but I see that as a black box amp, which it is. But the ZA3 basically allowed me to run my Topping e50 (using XLR) for...
