REVIEW: TTVJ FET-A solid state amp
Todd graciously loaned me a TTVJ FET-A amp and I have been listening to it for the past month and a half. It’s a fine solid unit at a pretty attractive price point, considering there are not too many high quality discrete solid state options made here in America. The design is by Pete Millet...- recstar24

Need recommendation for wife - workout cans
Hey guys, My wife's birthday is coming up, and she is asking for some workout cans to run with. She basically wants something that wraps around her ears, then inserts into her ear.

appropriate wire gauge size for senn cable
What do you guys think would be the "correct" gauge of wire to use for a senn cable? It has to be flexible enough and practical enough where I should be able to move about a bit and not worry about breaking the darn thing. I am thinking somewhere between 20-26 awg. The cable that I plan on...- recstar24

New Meridian G08.2 (sorry huge pic warning)
New version 2, appears the only difference is a slot loaded drive that you just slide your CD into. Sure looks neat, I wonder what if any sonic differences are there and what their thoughts were going into changing the drive mechanism.- recstar24

The Moth S2A3...has landed!
I have graduated from my good ole Eddie Current HD-25 to the beautiful Moth S2A3. I got some great time with her yesterday and today, and really feel that it was a huge step up.

The Eddie Current HD-25 has landed!
Within the past couple of months, I have had the opportunity to hear a lot of amps. While they all sounded good in various ways, there was always something about the sound that I could pinpoint and criticize.
