    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    It's not a tuner, it's a pitch shifting device that modifies the tuning/pitch of the original product. Got it?

    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    I'm actually referring to the analog compressors used for dynamic range compression. That's what actually crushes the mix. I don't really care about lossy /lossless digital file compression. A well mixed, un-squished 320 kbps is fine with me.

    Unfortunately, you can't uncompress compressed music (outside the studio) , no matter how hard you try. But it's a pretty thought.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    On the Andy Timmons front, probably my favorite album he features on is Simon Phillip's Protocol III. His playing is simply sublime on it: a great Fusion record. I think he recorded one of his most soulful tunes on it with Amrita

    Cool man. She definitely falls on the heavy Fusion side. A Matter of Perception is one of my favorite instrumental albums of the last several years.

    As an aside, you might wanna check out Nili Brosh, if you haven't heard of her. She's a protege of Tony Macalpine. A really talented instrumental songwriter with tons of technique

    I'll always thank Mike Portnoy for pointing me in their musical direction. Mikael A and company rule.

    My 2m blue lasted for years. I only had to replace it when I stupidly brushed beneath it and broke the cantilever. A great sounding budget choice.

    I made an edit to the review. In retrospect, I didn't think it was terribly relevant.

    Review by 'mithrandir38' on item 'Ampsandsound Kenzie Encore'

    Intro: The ampsandsound Kenzie Encore is an improved version of the original Kenzie headphone amplifier. The amplifier uses two 1626 tubes for output and a 12SL7 for the input. It can also accept 12a(x,t)7-series tubes using an aftermarket adapter. Unlike the original Kenzie, however, this...

    That's very much a prototype. Not a finished product

    Unless a piece of equipment is grossly out of phase or mechanically unsound or ill-designed, I find most systems have some degree of the above mentioned cringe-inducing acronym. For me at least, it is incredibly undescriptive

    it always has been and always will be a stupid acronym. Something reviewers say that signifies nothing.

    I made a rule of collecting albums that I think are really special, rather than everything under the sun.that keeps the vinyl side of my hobby in check.

    Just my Mjolnir 2 amp, which I sold to a friend on another site. I prefer the all tube sound of the Encore. I'll a have a review up on the coming weeks

    It has the same tonality as the original, but slams a bit harder with the optional input transformers. It's a bit quiet than the original. The dual inputs are a godsend, and it sounds great as a preamp. In short, everything that was good about the Kenzie is improved on the Encore.

    Those are different adapters. You need separate adapters for 5755 and 12ax7 types
