I got there right at 10 and there was no parking...they were directing parking into the docks. There must have been 50-75 people ahead of...

    Sonic Impact T-AMP as a head amp...

    Glow Audio Amp One

    Glow Audio Amp One

    Quote: Originally Posted by [S]uds Is the DAC in the Glow One truly that bad? I was planning on getting one as a good, all-in-one solution for my cans and speakers I use at my computer, but if I get the Glow I can't afford a separate DAC right away. I was also thinking of waiting on...

    Preferred burn-in strategy?

    I put the frybaby (Hagerman Technology LLC: FryBaby Portable Burn-In and Cable Break-In Generator DIY Kit) and XLO burn-in track on my Squeezebox, set on repeat for a couple hundred hours, to burn in the Glow amp to nice effect.

    Glow Audio Amp One

    Maybe it's just the W1000's are not a good match for the Glow (although the 6 moons review mentioned nothing of the sort)? JonL once told me the W1000's would probably not be a good match for the Almarro a205a, so it would kind of make sense, I guess. Perhaps I'll see if I can trade/sell the...
