Unleashed the dogs tonight...

The wife has my son out at the mall for a couple hours, So I popped the grills off the 1.2TL's and cranked it up... The iron-fisted grip these tubes have over the big dogs still astonishes me. Just wish I could load a video....

I'll bet your neighbors know when your wife has your son out doing things.
Now playing is Simon and Garfunkel. I don't know if it's just me, but things really do sound better after everything has been pushed hard for a bit before I settle in to actually do serious listening.

Simon and Garfunkel???
After cranking the stereo, your ears are warmed up, and ready to go. For whatever reason, I think my system sounds better in 80-90db range versus lower. Then again, rock is meant to be played loud. String quartets certainly do not sound better at a higher volume.
