| Upgrading specific components in a tube amplifier @apollinaire - just to continue the thought experiment.... resistors - I would think that would depend on what resistors are currently in the Yamamoto and which ones are in the signal path. Considering the price point you are at, the existing res... | |
| Upgrading specific components in a tube amplifier In your experience, do such modifications lead to noticeable improvements in sound quality, or do they risk altering the original design in ways that might not be beneficial? To answer the question.... It can, and It can. Different components ... | |
| Thoughts on using a smart plug on intergrated amp. @rbull11 - I just got back to reading this post. According to the brochure the Micromega M-100 has a 5v to 12v Trigger In connection that will turn the integrated on and off. So, to me the easiest solution is basically what I proposed earlier: ... | |
| Looking for a pre-built recessed audio rack Thanks for the suggestions so far. @whart , I looking into the Mid-Atlantic angle. Some possibilities there. @paradisecom - A good suggestion (and appreciated) on the pull out rack. However, with the storage room on the other side of the wall... | |
| How would an interconnect that seems intact in every way stop working, and how to fix? You may have broken the wire or connection inside one of the RCA plugs when unplugging/plugging in. Do you have access to a normal multimeter? Most have a continunity tester setting that you can use to check the cable, center pin to center pin a... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring @bobbyloans - After reading through the posts, it got me thinking. So, something to consider, or not.... If you are looking to dive in and tinker, learn what things can improve SQ, or just change it, rather than experiment on your $$ main spea... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring Hey, it can't hurt to contact the OEM and just ask what is worth changing out or replacing internally. Especially if the speakers have some age on them. Who knows, there maybe some parts that he will say "swap x out for y" because y is a better p... | |
| WHICH POWER CONDITIONER IS BETTER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE WITH ISOLATION TRANSFORMERS @kjl1065 +1 on the Regenerators. I have very noisy, high distortion incoming power with significant voltage swings. I bought a PS Audio PP12 and it made a world of difference, better than Furman I was trying out. Everything is plugged into it... | |
| Would it make sense and be safe to put power conditioner in front of PS Audio regenerator? @jea48 and @carlsbad2 - I agree. Straight from the wall to the PP. 12 awg or heavier power cord with solid plugs on both end from the wall. It doesn't need to be a very expensive one because the key thing is to get the needed current to the ... | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? @baylinor How are those white PVC diffusers working out. I've been a litte wary of them because being PVC they should be highly reflective and because there is not much of a difference between the high and low points. (Unlike most quadratic di... | |
| BS Nano as Roon endpoint It is possible that you are initially dropping data packets on the wifi, even with a "strong" signal. This can be caused by radio interference from somewhere or something blocking the "line of sight" between the two points. This could be a refri... | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? @erik_squires - I agreed with you that the area between and behind being oversights. I have a small 12'x12', 10' ceiling room. And it has been a b*tch to treat. I'm intending to build a proper dedicated room with better dimensions, but tha... | |
| BS Nano as Roon endpoint Are you running the connection over WiFi or hard wired? | |

| Streamer, no DAC please? +1 on the PS Audio AirLens. $2000 Keep in mind, however, you need to consider what streaming service you want to use (Tidal, Qubuz, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, etc.) and what control app (BluOS, Roon, etc.) Some are better than others a... |
