| Deleted Threads by Admin?? hifiman5, I responded to your deleted thread because I thought it was totally political. Your references to safe spaces and political correctness tipped your hand. | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale Rock 'n Roll and good taste is an oxymoron. Well, at least some of the time. I'm all for laid back restraint, superb sense of timing and telepathic interplay, but it's not necessarily better than over the top virtuosity. It takes all kind and t... | |

| The Future of HiFI? Sometimes we audiophiles need to step back and consider that 5 foot tall, 200lb loudspeakers coupled with large "are those space heaters" monoblocs, a rack of other electronics and miles of thick cabling has very little appeal to most people who l... | |

| Leave preamp on all day, off at night You did say what preamp and I missed it. Sorry. | |
| Leave preamp on all day, off at night Since you haven't said what preamp you are using any answer may or may not make sense. If you have something with 10-plus tubes, then the above answers may apply. However, if you have something with a pair of 12ax7, 12au7, 6922 or similar, then ... |
