| Start with Upgrade to DAC? see recent thread IMHO, you will not hear a difference in sound from a $1500 streamer vs. what you already have (or even vs. a $6500 streamer). Think about what a streamer is: a relatively low-powered computer that moves data packets from a sour... | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? Don’t even think about replacing your streamer. You’re fine there. Everything else is a matter of taste (by which I mean sound, lol). | |
| I know this an old topic...but Tonearm for Garrard 301 :) Audio Creative Groovemaster? Perfect for SPUs. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? love the Etsuro combo, though have not heard either. SUTs hard to hear at dealers for obvious reasons. But regarding other SUTs that I myself am contemplating replacing my Rothwell with (Cartridge is Urushi Tsugaru) are: -Koetsu (of course) -C... | |

| Solo streamer @soix There you go again. I am very comfortable with others having different views to mine. I do not have an insatiable need to fill some existential void in my soul by bullying friends, colleagues or strangers into conforming their views to m... | |
| Solo streamer @soix My post was meant solely for you, given your need for gratuitous posts picking fights with other members. I’m thrilled that the OP, having evaluated for himself the alternatives, is happy with his purchase. | |

| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier @erikt I love the idea of an AN integrated for you. Are you getting the Oto thru an AN dealer? Didn’t recommend cuz thought it would be tough with your budget. Are you getting Oto thru an AN dealer? | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) Gold Note DS1000 Evo perhaps? Tilts a little towards warm I believe. I have the DS10 and prefer it in head to head with DCS Bartok. More full bodied to my ears. Ds10 and DS1000 use same chip, so should be same, only more. | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier I second the Synthesis, Leben and Audio Hungary recommendations. Another nice brand I have experience with is Triode Corp, Japan (not Triode Lab, Canada). If you want to go even more upscale, Octave Audio makes some beautiful gear. I have 3 tub... | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs btw, if not mistaken, the only purpose for reclocking is to remove jitter. So if you start with a low jitter streamer, not clear to me what the purpose of a separate reclocker would be. | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs You should read this thread from the last few days. Significant differences of opinion regarding the efficacy of spending much on streamers: streamer thread | |

| Solo streamer @invalid so your point is that manufacturers who charge tens of thousands of dollars for products they claim are noise-free have no obligation to show us the data they use to engineer their miracles? That’s religion, not audio gear my friend. A... |
