| Moving up from a Node 2i In doing so you lose 9/10 of the MQA unfold. Actually you lose 2/3rds. A full MQA decode unfolds (3) times. The Node2 does the first unfold via it's digital outputs.I have been told that the first unfold is the most critical, however I haven'... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i I have the BluOS running on an Apple iPhone SE, a Dell Venue 7 tablet and an Amazon Fire HD8 with excellent results. No need for a computer?I have also never had any "flakiness" with the Node 2 which I’ve had from almost the time they came out, (l... | |
| Favorite 'Best o/f" recordings! Music On Vinyl has a series called "Collected". I have probably a dozen or more of them. Sound is quite nice. https://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog?q=collected&cat=&artist=&year=&albumtitle=&format=&status=#.XlaVPqhKiM8 | |
| 12AX7 replacement I just tried the new JJ Tesla Frame Grid E83CC. I found them wonderful sounding. They are only ~$22.00 each. They have gotten some very excellent reviews. https://www.thetubestore.com/jj-e83cc-12ax7 There are many choices for you out there. ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget Not a big fan of BDR cones. Type 1 and Type 2. 😛 I’d even go so far as to say they suck. If you can stand em more power to ya. If you’re going to dis them, at least get the model numbers right. They are MK3 & MK4, not Type 1 & Type 2, gee... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget I am curious what people think about milercarbon’s suggestion related to BDR cones. I'm a HUGE proponent of BDR cones/pucks/pits/shelves. I have them everywhere. Don't think they'll solve your speaker cable issue though... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget +1 Canare 4S11 | |
| Canare 4S11 @jeffrey75...thanks for kind words. Glad you tried them! They really are incredible. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips That is completely incorrect. As I said, I have owned a very good R2R dac and a number of ESS dacs and compared them. I only listen to PCM. The R2R dac was okay on its own terms but I much preferred dacs using the current generation of ESS chips... | |
| Audible Illusions wait time ? @georgehifi, (or anyone else that’s interested)...one of the buys of the century are refurbed units from AI: What is a Factory Reconditioned Modulus? Audible Illusions allows M3A owners to trade in their current preamp for the latest model M3B. Of... | |
| Audible Illusions wait time ? @georgehifi...usually Art has you hang on to your unit until the new one is ready to ship. I’m pretty sure the OP still has his original M3A. Art also gives a very excellent trade-in price, so I’m sure the OP will trade it in. I spoke with Art, a... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! All, I thought everyone did. Well at least they should. +1...my thoughts exactly. | |
| Do old Acoustats compete with new 'stats or dynamics I was an Acoustat dealer from almost the beginning to the very end of the company. Sold and setup quite a few pairs and personally owned almost every model. Jim, (Strickland) and I became very good friends.There was never a 3+3 or a 4+4. They were... | |
| Musical Concepts amplifier modifications upgrades @tomcheeser...I saw your other thread about Big Sky Audio. I've never heard of those guys.If you really are going to have this done, please let John do it. He's been doing these mods forever and probably knows more about them than anyone, (just ... | |
| Audible Illusions wait time ? I was an AI dealer way back in the day. I’ve known Art (not Al) for all that time. Even back then, delivery was hit and miss. I really do believe Art "tries" to be honest in the lead times, but it usually is a lot longer.AI is a very small company... |
