    Affordable Tube Preamp that can use an E80CC tube?

    Hello, I am trying to find an affordable tube preamp or DI that can handle the higher heater current of an E80CC tube?

    Question for an Expert

    Hi, Hopefully I am in the right Forum. I used a Logitech Webcam as a security camera as I enabled motion-activation and it recorded some illegal activity. Now, there is no time and date on the video as it does not have that feature. My question is, is there a digital signature embedded in the...

    Audiophile Sonic Terms Redux

    During my recent interview with WBF, I think additional clarification of why relying on audiophile sonic terms like detail, pinpoint imaging, crisp leading-edge transients, black background, and slam to describe the attributes of component performance is counterproductive if one’s goal is to...

    Sennheiser/Apogee AMBEO IEM/Earphone Binaural Recording Headset review

    You get two things with the AMBEO - each worth at least $300 USD (IMHO): A very decent IEM, and a really good binaural recording system (using your Apple i-device) with microphones that capture hi-fi sound. This review has only a few sentences about the binaural recording - the bulk of the...

    My Latest Recording (May 3, 2014)

    Last Saturday, I was commissioned to make a recording of early period music. The works range from 9th to 15th century and include works by Abel, Binchois, Cima, Gibbons, Maurus, Schütz, Preaetorius and Rorem.
