| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement @jafant My original thoughts were to buy a very nice SACD/CD one box player. I was considering something along the lines of the EMM Labs XDS1 v2 or XDS1v3 or a Playback Designs model. Both of which, if I recall correctly utilize Esoteric's VSOP... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement @ghdprentice Thank you again for the excellent run down on how the streamer works, etc! Could I use my MacBookPro as the "remote" to run the Aurender streamer instead of an iPad? ( I'm just hoping to not have to spend money on yet another item,... | |
| LAIV Harmony This certainly sounds like an interesting DAC! Curious if anyone has compared the sound quality of spinning a cd via coax vs streaming? I was originally contemplating purchasing a very high-end SACD/CD player but am concerned about the laser cd ... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement Wowza, $14.99/mth is dirt cheap. I pretty much consistently spend a few hundred or more monthly on vinyl records from all over the world. I pay 2 to 3 x's more for the shipping of one record than the monthly fee of streaming, so that's a big win... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement @ghdprentice Great looking system and listening room! I can imagine it sounds amazing! So, for streaming, do you pay a monthly subscription fee or by the song? Can you listen to a full album or only one song at a time? Can you save favorites... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement I found what the Joseph Audio/Doshi room was using at the AXPONA shows for their digital streaming.... Aurender N30A 8TB Music Server $25,000 Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Reference 3 $28,000 Berkeley Audio Design Alpha USB $2,275 For tha... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement @jayctoy I spent 3 days at AXPONA in both 2023 and 2024. At both shows, I really enjoyed the sound at the Joseph Audio/Doshi room. They were alternating between the wonderful sounding J. Sikora turntable and streaming. Those were the first ti... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement @jsalerno277 very good point, much appreciated. @ghdprentice @mazian You both might be right... that I should consider streaming. I have to admit, I am very much old school. Hence my vinyl rig that I love so much. I don't have the first clue... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement The players I am considering are very high-end products utilizing Esoteric VSOP drive mechanisms which are no longer being sold outside of Esoteric players. If I were able to purchase a replacement, the manufacturer will be willing to install it,... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @dwest1023 I'm excited for you and the improved sound that you are experiencing with these new tubes! I hope they give you many, many hours of great listening enjoyment :) Best wishes, Don | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @dwest1023 What tube type did you buy? From where did you buy them? Please let us know how the tubes longevity is? Best wishes, Don | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics Thank you for your correspondence with me via this forum and giving me assurance that I will at least receive a refund, one way or another. I will be shipping these tubes back this morning, using the return shipping label that was ... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread Looking at my PayPal invoice it says... Merchant ALIPAY US, INC. I have to admit, this is all very confusing to me. When I had ordered the tubes, I don't believe that I had seen them available on Amazon at that time. However, I do see that t... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics Hello, I had thought that AliExpress was the store that I had purchase the tubes from. Looking at the box they were shipped in, I see a very small label that says the following... Shenzhen Dingwan Electronics Co. 405 Building A N... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics When you say... "This issue might be caused by internal component loosening during long-distance shipping and multiple handlings." I find that to be a very plausible explanation of what may have happened to the tube in question. I... |
