| Streamer output options Implementation of interfaces needs to be taken on a case by case basis. How can anyone state categorically any single interface is the best. Usb optimization varies greatly across both streamers and dacs. I2S not offered on a great number of strea... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Screamin' Jay Hawkins has to be one of the best. John Lennon on Plastic Ono Band, Well, Well, Well, John was going through scream therapy at the time. | |
| Linlai Elite vs Psvane Acme 845 My experience with Linlai 101D tubes not so good, doesn't mean other Linlai not good. Psvane Acme 300B wonderful tube, reliable and great sound quality, in midst of comparing to Western Electric, already had possible failure at around 5 hours, bei... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Why I agree with the reasons given to purchase the 005 vs 006, the advantage of purchasing the 006 now is future upgrades would likely reveal the greater potential of 006. While you'd not likely hear the greater resolving/transparency of 006 in th... | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka Thank you for providing a valuable service to the audiophile community. I've been making the power cables for years using various types of wire and gauges of that wire, just exceptional PC's. This in comparison to PC's II've owned and... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem Paid $300 for 1958 NOS Mullard. These continue to rise in price, forgot what I paid for original pair, wasn't cheap. Feeling lucky to get away with this, fearful I had taken out components in amp. | |
| Western Electric 300B problem Discovered my GZ34 rectifier tube was trashed. So, is this amazing coincidence rectifier tube decides to fail just after replacing 300B tubes or did failing WE take out rectifier tube? Too bad, these early 50's Mullard GZ34, probably around 70... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sfpeloton Yeah, I was skeptical DC cables could make that much difference until the Mundorf. Thinking about upgrading to deluxe versions of both OpticalModule and OpticalRendu. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Great, the added ease and refinement you're hearing is a function of both 006 and and the I2S conversion via Gaia and Tubulus cable. While resolution/transparency is improved slightly with the I2S setup, I never experienced the vinyl like present... | |
| Where to Place Network Switch Why people don't isolate wifi entirely from audio system is a mystery to me, wifi shouldn't exist on audio system network, routers with wifi enabled and then adding another component (switch) is not optimized network for steaming. | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions I have very similar setup to @mitch2, in my case custom streamer used only as server/Roon core, Sonore OpticalModule to OpticalRendu, in my setup the Sonore powered by outboard lps, Uptone JS2 (choke based LPS). I've tried many other setups for Ro... | |
| Which company manufactures this Ethernet switch for the other? Many of these switches are just modified Buffalo boards. I purchased a RenoLabs switch some years ago, this just another modified Buffalo board with integrated LPS. Also tried stock switches, No switch has ever been of any benefit for me, all detr... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out Welcome back, I too tend to take 'vacations' from the forums from time to time. Coincidentally, I was just thinking about how I've migrated towards boutique brands over the years. I too prefer to support these smaller operations, my hard earne... | |
| Power Supply I can imagine the system @blisshifi describes could be superior to conditioned AC. I've tried cheaper solutions, while initially impressed, over time heard limitations. As mentioned above inverters are major consideration. I've also owned equi... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem In regards Upscale, just received my Return Authorization. I explained symptoms and sent photo, they agree tube defective. |
