    Got a Chinese tube amp and now world is upside down

    Air guitar, bass or drums playing along? Dancing like a fool? You know you got something going when this goes on, but could be intoxicants as well...........

    Cable measurement

    "Allow 15% of your audio system budget for cables" is a common suggestion amongst audiophiles. Goofballs are screwing themselves over on things of much better value that they could be spending their money on. It's a profit driven misinformation thing. Think of all the things the people...

    Topping Pre90 Review (preamplifier)

    Thanks. Not sure if number 2 would work as I don't know maximum input for my tone control but one would work fine but then you are stuck with using tone control with one source or unplug and plug situation ongoing. A feature (lack of actually) that may likely keep me from purchasing the Pre90

    Topping Pre90 Review (preamplifier)

    Any way to use this preamp and the input extender to have a tape loop to insert a tone control/equalizer?

    Why do you think a few members have an 'alcoholic anonymous' vibe towards the audiophile community? It seems a harmless hobby as far as things go?

    OMA K3 $360K TURNTABLE

    I'd love to hear one. I surely wouldn't kick it out of bed but think I'd sell it if given one and buy 40 acres and a small house.

    Anyone has experience with JBL S3900 and S9900?

    My experience with beryllium diaphragms has been very good. Love to hear the S9900's. Definitely cannot afford a pair!

    Stereophile's Jim Austin disagrees w Atkinson; says tubes have something that can't be measured

    I believe it can be measured, as distortion. The right kind, the good kind. If you're into that kind of thing.

    I'm a bit amazed by this response I got to a post I did on Facebook...

    An all out system no, haven't heard that on either side, vinyl or digital. I have heard and do have what I would consider a vinyl system not so far off in performance from an all out ($50K or >vinyl system) and the sound is very very good and I would never dismiss it nor underestimate the...
