| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? Good suggestion.... | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? I don't use a "reference" recording. I use a number of tracks. Most are tracks that are deeply imprinted in my brain. I think it's easier to notice where a recording shines on a system. I also use genres I don't normally listen to so there... | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? Most important thing for me is make ONE change at a time. If you are trying to find the optimum speaker placement , focus on that, don't throw other variables into the mix. Same with a component change. One change at a time. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) It's a tough time in my opinion. Took a while to sell a few things recently. I have a pair of Omega Super Alnico for sale locally , no bites. | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? I agree on Bluesound. It's a proven platform that is easy to use and probably the best bang for the buck. I've had a Vault 2i since '19 and when it dies I'll will most likely replace with the Icon. | |
| Ypsilon DAC-100? If you have a tube tester there's really no reason not to.... many a tube component has failed due to a bad "nos" tube. Gear like that was $$$ new. Medium to low risk.... | |
| AXPONA AND SWAF SOUTHWEST AUDIO FEST WHO IS GOING? Would love to meet yall! jc4659, The Studio Electric M4 are such a great speaker, I can only imagine how good the M5 and FSX are…. About a month in with the M4 and they are so good it’s silly. I have spent some serious time listening and they are really amazing for ... | |
| Mullard EL34 that sounds best I have had good luck with JJ EL34 type 1. Sound great. | |
| Ypsilon DAC-100? Not all tube testers can test that tube either ,. It has a Loctal socket. | |
| Ypsilon DAC-100? C3G are tough to find , and pricey. EZ81 are plentiful, new and NOS. I would pass. | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? I make my tubes last longer by turning my second system on. I'm fortunate to have a solid state system that I use 75 % of the time. I have always been told turning amps on for short periods then off is bad for tubes. I do bias right at or a l... | |
| EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions? Can't compare but I have had the SW-6 for a few months. Built like a tank. Nice quality | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? I would look at Innuos and Auralic in your price range. Eversolo support is non existent. It's decent hardware with a decent interface but if one of their firmware updates has a bug don't expect a fix. Been waiting 6 months for USB out to wor... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? My Dad has a single S/510 and it's a great sub. Two in stereo would be great, they are quite a bit larger but if you have the space... it's about 16x 16 x18 deep |
