| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Good advice.... I plan and save , sometimes for a year or more. Overtime and sacrifices in other areas is how i afford my audio indulgences. If I can't buy it cash I don't buy it. | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 I bought a tube tester last year and it was an eye opener. Most tubes I got from trusted dealers were as advertised but I had a number of tubes that were duds. Mismatched triodes, weak, also had a bad 5r4gy (shorted) that would have damaged m... | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 Unfortunately I have also received tubesI thought were used .... not from Brent but another well respected dealer. The truth is that a lot of "NOS" tubes are "pulls" , tubes that were lightly used but still test stronger than new. In the 50'... | |
| Bypassing Sony SACD protocols - is it possible? My OPPO player will output 88.2k digitally when playing SACD. They claim it has something to do with the Nyquist freq . and that 176.4 would not sound as good.... | |
| What new gear have you just bought? Enjoy your new gear. I just picked up a new Cyrus i7-XR integrated amp. Built in DAC and Phono. I'm mainly into tubes but this was perfect for a second system. It's the size of a shoebox and half the height but it sounds like a real HiF... | |
| Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV I loved my H3... the Forte is just more of good thing. Just as the Cornwall is more of a good thing.... and on up the line. Sometimes I will feel like an image is wrapping around from front to rear or sometimes things go well beyond the s... | |
| Shocking Lampizator Service I agree, this thread had too many folks that needed repair. I would be afraid to buy a Lampizator based on this thread. | |
| Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV Like cfarrow said, the Forte throw a huge Soundstage. With my 300b it's a great combo. When called upon images extend way beyond the speaker . I think half the equation is the amp. They sounded great with my Quicksilver Mid Monos , they... | |
| Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV Big Soundstage without a big footprint is why Ilike the Forte. The Heresy are good , don't get me wrong but they don't have the scale and authority of Forte or Cornwall and they need a sub. | |
| Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV Buy the Forte IV if you can. They are the same footprint as the Heresy and with a 12 " woofer and 15 " passive they have great bass. I traded my Heresy III in toward the Forte IV. I wasn't really looking for speakers at the time. I went to ... | |
| Reducing noise in an Ethernet over power configuration Maybe a switch where some ports are PoE and some are unpowered I have a TP Link Ether over AC adapter going into a TP Link fast switch with SFP ports. From the switch I use a TP Link media converter via fiber optic to a media converter next to... | |
| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions I also can recommend KT100 after owning several QS products. I currently have Mid Monos. They have been super reliable. 10 years old and have been trouble free. Many , many hours on them and only a few tubes over the years. | |
| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions I have had several different tube amps over the years. 40 and 50 watt EL34 and 6l6 amps. They drove speakers around 90 dB sens in a room about 17 X 15 My latest amp is a 40 watt Solid State amp and it can drive 86 dB sens speakers to pre... | |
| Dumping McIntosh for Bose Give Audio Classics in NY a try. | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections Ghdprentice is one of a handful of people here that I almost always agree with regarding an upgrade path. I use his formula or rational, if it does not cost 2 to 3 times more that what you are replace, it's probably not an upgrade. In this hobby... |
