Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong Getting back to the question, right or wrong… Generally, right. But someone spent a lot of time writing an essay that likely won’t increase sales…and some of numbers were way off…like $200 isolation platforms…sign me up! | |
How you know your system is improving? @baylinor +1 Bluethinker - I tried to look at your virtual system but it is blank. That might help with getting advice here from those way more knowledgeable than myself. I learned the hard way that the wrong tube amp paired with a non-tube frie... | |
T+A PA 3100 HV owners question @mgrif104 My pleasure. First dedicated listening session with the T+A last night, playing some of my best vinyl. Extraordinary indeed. | |
Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? DHLabs. Much better than BlueJeans and an Audioquest Cinnamon I tried out which was no better than the BLueJeans My guess is the Ethernet cable matters more if you have a noisy environment/ router - I’m connected directly to a Cox Cable Panoramic... | |
Music first or sound first? Music first. I did read all the posts...some thoughtful, insightful and honest commentary. I recall hearing Nat King Cole’s voice at around 5 years old and associate that with my Dad’s reel-to-reel that was in a small suitcase. I bought my firs... | |
T+A PA 3100 HV owners question @audiotroy you were spot on! | |
T+A PA 3100 HV owners question @mgrif104 I ended up with a used Voodoo Infinity PC. I was more than a little surprised at the immediately noticeable improvement in dynamic range, detail, air (not sure if that is the right word), and better soundstage/more holographic. Definitel... | |
Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! Some of you need to take your meds cause the OP’s innocuous post went south really fast for no good reason. | |
T+A PA 3100 HV owners question All: Thanks for the feedback thus far. @mgrif104 Upper tier Nordost are beyond what I'm willing to spend on a PC, even used. I'll report back on what I land on. @lldd First time hearing about Triode Wire Labs - they look interesting and reasonab... | |
T+A PA 3100 HV owners question @audiotroy thank you | |
Is positive reinforcement why things are sounding better? I bought a pair of NOS Mullard’s for my tube DAC that cost half what I paid for the DAC. I swap them out from time to time with some much cheaper NOS Telefunken Diamond mark’s. The Mullard’s sound significantly better to me. And the Tele’s sound... | |
BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 @geof3 Cool. I’ve got a GoldNote PH 10 which is quite good but eventually I’ll try a tube phono. If you have any suggestions pls let me know. Thank you for your time. | |
BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 @geof3 Too funny! Now I’ll know who to bitch at if it breaks! Although I didn’t need the MC phono, I am curious how it sounds. Did you use it? | |
BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 @geof3 Used, from TMR | |
BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 @kennyc @geof3 I decided to go for broke (pun intended) and trade the BAT in on the T+A. I'll have it in my system Tuesday and report back. (I've never heard one.) |
