| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? Anyone else here old enough to remember the TV repair guy coming a couple times each year to replace tubes in the TV? And I have yet to have a tube go out in my amp with new tubes. Hmmmmm..... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Folks... I really, really appreciate the discussion. One of the things I am wrestling with is I'm not as young as most of you an my hearing is not great, so at what point is spending money a waste. I love the journey you folks are willing to h... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? "The “DAC” in the AE is a relative joke and a toy. Period. Stop trying to promote it as “decent” because it is not, and if you think it is you’ve absolutely no idea what you’re talking about."................. Okay.... I'm not an expert. An... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Okay folks, got a Schiit Modius yesterday and did some "A/B" testing with a couple friends using a laptop as the music server. Hooked up the DAC with an optical cable from a 2nd Airport Express, and then RCA cables to the amp. That way we coul... | |

| Help this old rookie with speakers Thank you all for your thoughts and insights. My speakers will end up being about 25 ft apart which makes for great stereo separation. My Lynnfield's sound pretty good, but I'm going for the "horn" sound right now. I don't care about resale... | |
| Do Your Speakers have LEVEL CONTROLS or EQUALIZERS? (Vintage or Modern) ??? My Yamaha 670s (which I purchased new in 1975) have mid and treble adjustments. Never used them. Just set them in the middle. My Boston Acoustics 975 however, have powered subwoofers, and I use the bass adjustment fairly frequently | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers Oh man this is sweet stuff | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers I don't really have a "system" right now, other than some Boston Acoustics Lynfield 975s paired up with an NAD 2400. My living room where I am going to put the speakers is... and I'm guessing here because I am traveling.... probably 30' wide ... |
