| Why buy Bluesound Node2i vs. Marantz AVR for playing music from NAS or streaming services? Because the Vault 2i is awesome.... it has completely changed the way I listen to music. Not only is it great in my main system, I can send its content to my Blutooth speakers in bathroom and garage. Best money ever spent on a component with res... | |
| Any experience with Tube rolling 6922 for Conrad Johnson preamp? The Gold Lion 6922 is a nice tube... it is the only tube to last long in my Classic 2 SE. I went through a few EH that were from CJ and went noisy soon. I have a EH in there now because i was trying to pinpoint a low level hiss and it sounds g... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers When I think Active I think ATC..... of course there are others but I think they are the best of the type. | |
| CJ Classic Preamp The Classics do use a mute relay that mutes the outputs for 45 seconds after you turn it on.. You can hear it within the unit, should never hear a click through the speakers. Did you reseat the tubes (tube if its a Classic 2) or try new ones? ... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? The amps should be the same , and using an active crossover . Without a crossover , you would want amps with output trim. I agree with the one good amp rather than 2 lesser or different amps. Personally I think bi amping is a waste. | |
| Carver M1.5t vs. Krell or ML I agree, put it all together and then , tweek and listen. Then decide where you stand. The PV 12 is a very fine preamp. I had a 1.5t and a 1.0t way back and both were solid amps. Definitely retube, if you do not listen to vinyl you can sta... | |
| Does a Linn kairm preamp reverse phaze Hmmm, interesting | |
| Tube Question for Audiophriends The first think I think about when buying a tube amp is how plentiful are replacements. Those 813 s are scarce and no longer in production. | |
| best $1000 digital front end options for home streaming? I have a Vault 2i and its very much like the Node but with storage ... the Node has very good sound quality on its own. I love my Vault 2i and will get a Node 2I down the road for another room | |
| Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio? Now premium OEM stereos are pretty good for most folks. I would pay for the best OEM if I were to buy a new car, you're almost forced to if you want Blutooth sync or Nav. | |
| Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio? No, in fact most of time is spent in a company van.... with a very crappy AM/FM only 2 speaker radio. It's actually a good thing, when I get home my system is much more enjoyable.25 years ago I had a nice system in my Mustang only to come out of... | |
| Does a Linn kairm preamp reverse phaze Unlikely since it is micro processor controlled. Pre amps that reverse phase are vacuum tube with only a single gain stage that I'm aware of. I'd be interested to learn of any solid state preamps that do invert. | |
| New in 2019 Gary Hoey 's Neon Highway Blues is pretty good.... | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? Headphones are definitely a personal taste thing . Hadn't used phones in years and stopped into Q Audio in Boston one day at lunch. Tried on several Grado models from the 125s to the GS2000 and bought a pair of RS2e that day. | |
| Headphones? I could use your experience/thoughts. SR80e huge value |
