| Jazz for aficionados I’ve been messaging the US dealer and he’s encouraging me to wait a few more months because they will have newer models of some $7000 to $10,000 Dac’s by the same company. I’d love to put something that high end into my system, but he’s right in s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I might have a chance to get an in home demo of the Rockna Wavedream Reference DAC. I’m not sure yet if it’s really going to happen, but I’m excited at the prospect anyway. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Are they asking $4599 for it? | |
| Does anyone experience sound improvement from restarting power off and on of DAC? I’ve had some unexpected power outages and if the power comes on fairly quickly, no, I hear no difference. | |

| How long should high quality speakers last? A lot of variables here. A five dollar single driver with a rubber surround speaker should last almost forever.

| Analog output from CD player distorted @breguet5327 Do you have a separate DAC? Can you take it to a local HiFi shop and hook it into a system of theirs? Did you pay money for it? Can you return it? Is it worth it to get it fixed?? | |
| Do vacuum tube test values reflect sound quality? I have pondered this myself, but I really don’t have a clue. My only experience has been that there’s a noticeable difference between mismatched tubes. I kinda wish I could have bought a tube tester 40-50 years ago. | |
| Repair for speaker cabinet KEF’s service dept. might as well be bad AI. If anything is outside of their lane, they don’t have a clue! If you have an old school piano store in your area, maybe they can fix your R3 or give you a lead on who can. All the best. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Thanks Alex! Never heard Mel Brown before and Chicken Fat is a good listen. I know what I’ll be listening to for a while.😁 |
