| Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some? For me, I have the A6 and i simply love it. It is my main streamer, and I use it every day 18 hours a day. I don’t shut it off. I have it for 1.5 years now. | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? I don't know, but AI killing HIFI?? They all talked about CD being the new standard 40 years ago, and Solid-state replacing Vacuum tubes 50 years ago. Well, they are still here, AI may make music that could change the way music is made and comp... | |
| help needed for new headphone system Hey OP First off, I am not a headphone guy, but I do have Ls3/5A speakers for my reference system. So, at the last Audio Show, I got curious and listened to some headphones at the Show. Well, I was impressed. I always compare what I hear against ... | |
| Cryogenic Treatment of Tubes, and why you should not. I am in the camp that Cyro (on TUBES) does make a difference. At first I thought how can CRYO process improve the sound. As a side note, where I used to work (Space and Satellite) R&D / Manufacturing, we use CRYO machines to change the metallu... | |
| Triangle Magellan Duetto 40th Anniversary I have heard Triangle speakers; Both stand mounts and floor standers. They sound good, very good. I suggest one to take an audition. Try the Triangle web site and see if dealers are close by where you live. | |
| I changed a Tube and… OP Welcome to the world of Tube Rolling My first experience is tube rolling the Shiit Freya+ a few years back. OMG, you can hear what swapping different brands of tubes do. So, when I got my Linear Tube Audio Microzotl, I did not take chances... | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... Hello OP As others have posted, you listening room may be your constraint. My audiophile nephew told me in the past that he has gained the most impact by improving room acoustics. At first, I did not really dig that, until no matter what I do,... | |
| Speaker choice Hello OP, All the above suggestions are great. IMO, if you like the sound of Harbeth speakers, you might just want to stay with their bigger models (house sound) rather than moving to other brands. Just get a bigger model but used to keep cost do... | |
| Old SS amps Was listening to a couple of days ago with a friend's Dynaco ST-70 which he had it recapped a few years back. He claimed that he spent some $$ to put in premium parts. Well that really paid off. Driving some JBL speakers, they really sound great. ... | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time Warm up is real for me IMO. very obvious with my Pass gear and DACs from Denafrips. but for a Phono cartridge, first I heard huh. If it were me, I would get another used or inexpensive cart and swap it. Then see if the changes are real and not im... | |
| Tannoy or Volti OP Looks like you found the speaker you are going to enjoy, the Volti Razz. i have not heard a Volti, but its reviews are very good. if it were me, i would see if i can get to audition a Fyne, just to cover my bases. I know it quite difficult t... | |
| How old is too old? Purchase a used SONY SACD from eBay or AGon and be done with it. If you like its performance, then try to get a spare. | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables @Zlone, Agreed it can be a perfect replica, but the materials used cannot be the same. I have a fake Nordost Red speaker cable that was given to me as a gift when i was in Asia earlier this year. The fake is stiff and had no markings while my... | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? my only experience with EL34 was with a older Decware Zen SE34i Yes, I can confirm that the SED Winged C El34 Tubes, back then were Cryod, had the magic that no other El34 can match. have you tried Brent at audiotubes.com? SED winged C EL34 ar... | |
