| New DAC or New Streamer? I believe it all starts at the top of the chain. I think spending money on a great preamp is one of the best moves you can make. I think the source is equally important. I bought the N200 knowing it won’t be the potential bottleneck if I u... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? I recently got an Aurender N200. It’s an awesome machine. I’m using it with a LAB 12 DAC 1 Reference and it is a great sounding combo. Has none of the nasties often associated with digital playback. I bought the DAC after a short demo. ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Let’s be honest, for many including myself $7k is a lot of coin. I would suggest checking out LAB 12’s DAC 1 Reference for half the money. It is a great sounding DAC if you don’t need DSD or MQA. | |
| What can I do between the wall and my streamer/DAC? I use a TP Link Ethernet over AC adapter. It works great. I used to have one made by Netgear and it was noisy. The TP Link works great. Unfortunately I can't run hard wire from my router so it's the only way for me I needed a switch so I... | |
| Wiggle kt170 base If the glass envelope is not glued to the base well the tube could be compromised and could prematurely loose vacuum. If the silver getter turns white that’s what’s going on | |

| When were the best tube amps made? Unobtanium like vintage Western Electric aside, there has never been a better time for tube amps than NOW. !!!! There's a tube Renaissance and it's right now. So many great independent builders and large mainstream companies offering more... | |
| I can't believe this. Part of the problem is the wave of people that were seasoned and retired or their job was displaced during covid. There is a shortage of talent | |
| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? Shark Tank..... | |
| Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"? As often the case i agree with ghdprentice 's math and logic with respect to what is high end. With each component in that price segment and above you should notice real improvements if you are moving up from. Decent mid fi gear. The first re... | |
| 2.1 Stereo System for TV Listening I use my main system in 2.1 for TV and movies and it sounds great. Did away with surround 15 years ago and never looked back | |
| Aurender N200 Aurender just had an update for the N200…. Not sure if it is also for other machines but it’s worth checking I will tell you how good Aurender support is. Last week I tried checking for updates and got an “Error “ message. I clicked on the ... | |
