So glad you're back on here Joe. Although we have kept in touch, I know everyone here on the forum likes having you around and getting your takes on all things audio and your music shares. 🙏

I'm going!

Same here. IIRC it was released in late 2018. LUMIN has updated just about everything else since then.

I agree. I had a Reference 75SE at one time that I really liked, in some ways more than the Reference 160M monos as it was a sweeter, more fluid sound.

I remember that massive thread here on the shark some years back about the NORD amps with lots of excitement and folks who seemed very impressed. A year or two ago I saw a used Mk 2/latest version on A'Gon and bought it as it had been a number of years since I had tried any class D amps. While...

One of my all time favorite artists/singers -- the great Tony Bennett -- has just died at the age of 96. Saw him when he was in his late 80's and he still sounded great. Gonna be listening to him this weekend for sure.

You know what would be cool? Dark mode for Audioshark.
