| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. @larryi had a tube related experience where I was moving my amp around installing speaker cables fussing with close binding posts with spades. Fired up my amp and tube preamp all was good. Added isolation springs under my amp and my right channe... | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. With you on this one. Bananas are much more convenient to install with our ever increasing cable sizes. Especially with how close makers design their speaker posts so darn close together. Give us some space guys. No matter how tight you tight... | |
| Modern Speaker switch for use with banana plugs I bought this one with upgraded silver wire for my Home theatre system to use the same main speakers but switch them from a 2 channel tube amp and a home theatre 7.1 avs amp. Works and sounds great. You could use multiple ones to add more speakers... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Thanks for the info and keeping the thread alive. Didn’t know Mick still makes/sells power amps. I have a Decware Torii Jr V2 tube amp shipping any day after waiting 2 years to be made. Looking forward to seeing how it pairs with my Cab and 91db ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @lcherepkai Thanks…no I do not know of anyone trying the Rhodium/TCopper slug from Verifiaudio. It’s too pricey for me and I’d rather spend that $ towards a second SFB and use the silver slugs. I do like their gold/copper slug as well for bright... | |
| Audio envy - dang! I would ask Cap, he is very responsive and helpful. Try the expanded when they arrive you might be surprised. I would think the Mega is a good choice. Only way to know is try one. With AE’s 45 day return policy no risk. | |
| Music Disappearing (Roon/Tidal/Qobuz) I have seen some come up “unavailable” in red on Roon with Qobuz ie. Pink Floyd Meddle and OBC yesterday. Good to go today. Kingfish LIL is available to me now. | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @lcherepkai any updates on the various metal slugs you ordered? I’m a silver fan. Thanks | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget My take…No doubt your room is very important. Percentages are just a rough guide that may or may apply very differently to audio junkies. They are most applicable to dedicated room treatments or construction and may very minimally apply to livi... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz I too would still be with Tidal if they hadn’t cold-cocked us with dropping the Best Buy annual membership mid year and made us subscribe at twice the monthly price for Hi-Res. I drop-kicked Tidal’s plan, signed up for a year with Quboz, transfer... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget @erik_squires 100% agree spending time/attention and experimenting with an open mind can pay huge dividends. It has for me. It seems to me many give up on a component/speaker prior to finding their true maximum performance and assuming a more exp... | |
| Lab12 Integre4 review from new owner Fantastic DAC for all the music I listen to. Blues, folk, jazz, rock but I don’t listen to heavy metal rock, electronica, hip hop…Eagles, Dire Strait, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Counting Crows are a few examples that sound great. Tube choice makes... | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator For anyone interested…Have had a few days now with my 2 Pink Faun ethernet isolators. Well, I have to say they are doing something not for the good when plugged directly into my Bricasti M5 streamer. It takes the life out of the music. Really noti... | |
| What to do with a large collection After 2 years selling on ebay time to liquidate CD’s. Just scanned in the remainder of my CD collection using Decluttr. Have about 240 CD’s of which they accepted 60 for $7.00 and they provided a free shipping label to GA. Went fast with their... | |
| What to do with a large collection Likewise I have been selling my LP’s I no longer use and my entire CD selection on ebay the past 2 years. I group most by artist or similar genre and try to sell as collections when I can. Most LP’s sold well but CD’s sell slooow. All priced to... |
