Always enjoyed this article: https://blabbermouth.net/news/jimmy-page-talks-to-uks-absolute-radio-about-invention-of-distortion-pedal-video

And lets not forget the guitar players accessories, the 'distortion pedal, overdrive pedals, boost pedals, fuzz pedals and turning up the gain on the amp which sets the level of distortion in the tone. So we get distortion in the audio chain as the artist intended us to hear.

According Schiit While the Urd CD transport does have two USB inputs, unfortunately, it is not designed to connect directly to an external hard drive. The USB inputs on the Urd are primarily intended for connecting other USB sources like streamers or computers.

I wonder if something like this will work. The Van Alstine DVA R2X is a single-ended to differential converter (i.e., unbalanced to balanced converter) about $300 usd.

Well people that don't have the funds to use to purchase new Ayre amps. Case in point my dealer in Jacksonville, the cost of a new Ayre VX-5 is $14,000 USD, the VX-R is $37,000 USD. way out of reach for more than most. IF you can afford this, that's awesome.

Wishing you luck. I just hope your prices don't escalate to where normal users cannot afford the newer tech. I still have the K-5xeMP/V-5xe pairing.

Its amazing what a reboot of your router and cable modem has on your speeds.

I've been looking at these amps for a few months along with the Orchard Audio and D-Sonic and Buckeye,.

Now in the US, Austin TX, https://www.tekaudiospecialties.com/ Carries the line, as I've been looking at this unit plus amps

Just now encountering this very subject with my wife. So curtains will stay, but I can replace those on the wall with an acoustic curtain. Interesting. https://acousticsfreq.com/sound-control-acoustic-curtain/#:~:text=Acoustical drapery is a good,during non critical-listening functions. So some investigate research is required, and no doubt a chat with my cousin who plays with the Jacksonville Symphony and managers their sound.

Holy smokes. 😳, the price for audio these days. Well at least someone is buying these high end pieces to support the industry.

I know one of the biggest regrets is selling my Offrande Supreme V2. Might have to give the Voce Grandes a listen.
