    New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

    I know very little about KL, but really respect him as a difference maker. I’ve seen him defeat my team in a championship and also lead my team to a championship. In both cases he was amazing. My feeling is Kawhi protects Kawhi.

    I’m hoping it’s not that bad. I’m rooting for Kawhi more than I am the Clippers.

    Optimal volume control range/position

    I saw a discussion that said they were potentiometers. And a lot of folks with Shindo pres said they had balance issues at lower volume positions. Someone said the idea was to adjust attenuators on the amps so that the pre volume control lives between 10 and 2.

    Two VAC Statement 452 IQ MusicBlocs - The Keystone To My Bucket List System

    Thank you for the rundown on things Russ. I jgot a used Vac Ren 70/70 last summer and it had to be serviced. Transformers replaced by VAC. I’ve had it back almost two moths now and it’s been fantastic. Still improving, I wonder if transformers are still burning in. They put in the same ones...

    Two VAC Statement 452 IQ MusicBlocs - The Keystone To My Bucket List System

    I’ve read very good things about the master. Still a lot for me, but maybe in the future I’d be open. Running spectral right now DMC15, always thing about spectral pre upgrades. Did you run any of you VACs with spectral?

    Audio Equipment I Have Owned

    Thank you for the discussion of Gradients. I listened to the Gradient Revolution in the mid 1990s, when I couldn’t afford it, and I really loved it. A very special speaker, and I remember it was quite a disappearing act and I loved its balance. Sometimes I still think about getting one in...

    What's Spinning Tonight?

    I heard David Bowie wouldn’t stop playing this at John abd Yoko’s place when he got his first copy of it. They were like “yeah, it’s a great record, we know”. Young Americans may be the perfect song

    Any cyclists here?

    My bike.....and source of sanity this lockdown. I’ll see how long I ride it this fall. Cannondale hybrid from 2013. Nothing fancy but does the job! Completely happy with it! Changed from gator skin slips to knobbier specialized tires. Great help in gravelly trails.

    New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

    I agree Steve, that would be epic. Raptors have played well this year without Kawhi. Have to give them credit for pushing forward like that have!
