    Re: Florida International Audio Expo Photos

    This past weekend makes it my 4th year going to this event. Every year, it gets bigger and better. This year was no different.

    The Lightning DS app can only be loaded onto iOS devices which I have installed in my iPad of course. That said, you can also do as I did and download and install Linn Kazoo app on my Windows laptop....

    Re: Too Much Music

    This is what I like about my Auralic Altair G1 and the associated Lightning DS app. It's "radio" feature is every bit as good as the one on Roon. It's a great way to discover new artists/music for...

    Re: Is this true?

    I have an old Sony SLV-575uc VCR (2nd to TOTL) that my oldest brother purchased brand new many many moons ago. It has adjustable recording level and VU meters as well, like a regular cassette deck or...
