| What were your top musical discoveries of 2024? Marcus King. That Guy is massively talented. | |
| Help With Streamer - Aurender, Auralic, HIFI Rose, Eversolo A10, etc. I love my Aurender. Have used Innuos, Bluesound (which I still own) and Eversolo Since having an entry streamer like Bluesound and a really good one like my Aurender N200 all I can say is it comes down to support. Aurender is incredibly wel... | |
| Needing DAC Advice The ESS chips are used in some good sounding DACs. | |
| Needing DAC Advice That's like saying all blue cars suck.... much more to be gained with a class leading preamp. | |
| Needing DAC Advice The DAC is not the weak link…. You are quick to spend $3 k plus on a DAC when you already have a good one. Demo a really good preamp in home and you will see what I’m talking about. TMR has some great preamps that you can build a great system ar... | |
| Needing DAC Advice Get a really good active preamp. It’s the heart of a good system. I don’t think a DAC will exploit the rest of your system like a nice preamp. I’m talking a preamp that not a lateral move , far from it, something used that you otherwise could not ... | |
| Mutec Ref 10 Nano and MC 3 USB I bought a MC3+USB to convert USB to coax. It works great. I picked up a LHY OCK2 clock for cheap, at some point I'd like to try the Nano. I have my TV in it's TOS input and that probably was the most noticeable improvement. My CD transpo... | |
| Can you damage your speakers by plugging bass port vent? I have had more than one pair of speakers arrive from the factory with foam port plugs. It will not hurt the speakers , it will be fine. May not sound that great but will not hurt them. | |
| Does VPI ADS work with Basis Gold Debut? My Sota Escape uses the Condor and it's a great system. | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? Nice. I’ve have been spinning discs a lot lately. I find that the original CD almost always is better than a remaster. I think most of the streaming content is remastered and there’s no way around it. I try to avoid the cable controversy but if y... | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? I often research a product until it's discontinued. I have bought without auditioning or seeing in person , but never something I've never heard of. That's why these forums are a valuable resource. I can see maybe with cables that don't bre... | |
| McIntosh MC2105 paired with a C53 pre? The DA2 DAC is way better than most would give it credit. It's an excellent sounding DAC | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner I have had a Son of Q for almost 20 years. Never an issue . I would suspect a bad GFI I believe it is an off the shelf Leviton unit. It's probably pretty straightforward and any competent tech. As BigTwin suggested remove all power cord... | |
| DON:T WAIT! Replace Those Old Power Tubes! I have a Hickok 800 , it seems pretty accurate with a few tubes that I have that were matched on a modern Amplitrex tester. Sure it's great to know how strong a tube is but it is far more important to check for shorts and gas. I was lucky, t... | |
| Is the BluOS getting worse? I find that when my device can't find my Vault it is simply on the wrong network. May be the case with mesh. You need to make sure the phone or tab is on the same network as the streamer. |
