| Disadvantages of buying old solid state. buy the amp and send it to me for a check-up and upgrades. Couldn't be any easier. | |
| Tube or Amp Problem? Please help. Tube is probably bad and the bias from the resistors is probably also gone bad. Check under the hood to see if you see any burn marks on any part, and have the tube tested. If you are close to New Jersey, I would help you take a look and ev... | |
| Sunday dreaming about preamps... For $10K I would build you whatever type of preamp you would like point-to-point wired, Audio Note Resistors and capacitors, V-Caps, chokes, etc., even direct Heated Triode if you prefer that also. Happy Listening. | |
| Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to @jasonbourne52 I am currently restoring paris of OTL amps for a customer who has the QUAD 57 speakers. Counterpoint SA-4s and Fortier (spelling?). I hope to get to hear them on the QUADs when finished. Happy Listening. | |
| Preamp help please! The WE 101D tubes are an improvement but probably not what you are looking for. You can send it to me for a major upgrade and it will be a major upgrade. Tubes can change the flavor of the sound yes but for a bigger improvement, better capacitors ... | |

| How do you make a final decision on a DAC Even the reference DACs that are not mentioned here can be upgraded with better parts. Just finished upgrading a $40K DAC and it was a pretty big improvement in frequency extension, speed, clarity, dimension, separation, etc. Depends on what ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Thin and lifeless can be adjusted with resistors, capacitors, chokes and design at a much cheaper price than those tube3s but I also have the Psvane 101D tubes in our DHT DAC. Happy Listening. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? So weight and packed in parts is how some of you judge sound quality. Very interesting. The Pro-Ject Audio transport is light weight but it is one of the best sounding transports I have had in our system and we have had and hear a ton of them. ... | |
| Amp Search and Upgrade Having the Node 2i also but using a reference external DAC is not the issue at all. We also have the Aurender and we will compare this week also using an external DAC. You can upgrade the amp for not that much and see how you like something when... | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name taking names kicking ass LOL | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? Do you really feel that a $650 unit is high quality compared to??? While the Node is a good sounding unit it is in no way high quality IMO. | |
| Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good? For 5AR4 tubes, I have had success with 5R4 RCA and Sylvania purchased on eBay for under $30 per tube. This are the coke bottle looking tubes not the straight glass. I find the coke bottle tubes are better sounding in my system. The RCA is a ty... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. Price has nothing to do with performance, sound quality, build quality, design, etc. I have mentioned this before, we have a listening room in Northern New Jersey. Please feel free to bring your $720 DAC over to see if you can hear a differenc... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? Genesis was purchased years ago and Gary (forget his last name) still runs he company. All components can be repaired or upgraded to complete with todays products as long as the parts are available and the part numbers are the... |
