| Primaluna tube rolling 12AU7 Notes I post this link pretty frequently, but if you want to know where and when your Phillips tubes were made and what tube type you have, you should learn a little about the manufacturing codes. They are etched into the glass on the side of the tube, ... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference It could be that your McIntosh integrated is applying the McIntosh house sound to the Bartok. I'd discuss that with the dealer. There could be many other reasons why the Bartok doesn't sound better, but as long as it doesn't, there's no reason t... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? Good idea sstraus, why don’t you do that and let us know what you find. | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR The reputation of the MFSL LPs took a big hit when it was discovered that they were making a digital copy of the tapes they weren’t allowed to remove from the record company’s vaults, which is about all of them now. MFSL says that making a digita... | |
| New Esoteric K-03XD Hi stevizzy, Are you referring to the upsampling and filter settings? I have read on forums that it takes a couple hundred hours to burn in each setting. So, if you like it now, it should get better. | |
| MoFi Bridge Over Troubled Water - Review Thanks for the review. I'll be getting this at some point in the future. I hope it isn't another 5 years or so before MoFi gets around to doing the next S&G album. | |
| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner This seems like something that one should demo if at all possible. Would you say that your Denali was worth the cost? Hi moto_man, Definitely demo it if you can. Like most things the effect will vary from system to system as fastfreight discove... | |
| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner I don't have one but I have had a Denali for a few years and it cleaned up the sound noticeably but not to jaw dropping level. They are a very simple device. I don't know how they work, but if you're looking for something that runs the electrici... | |
| Boltz media record storage, anyone received a shipment from them in 2024? Since you haven't received the product, I think you may be able to cancel your order through the card. Give them a call. Having said that, Boltz could be having problems with their suppliers. I know it's been a long time, but they're still in c... | |
| Roon Master I can maybe help you a little. Roon is a streamer, but you already have a streamer in your all-in-one. Does your all-in-one have digital inputs to the DAC that would let you bypass the streamer in the all-in-one? | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric porchlight1, Have you compared your Yamaha to any of the Esoterics mentioned? | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. I think that what you are looking for is a server with a cd drive that plays and rips cds to internal storage. Offhand I can think of a couple of brands that have servers that do this. Innuous, Baetis, Aurender. Check out those brands and they ... | |
| Recordable CD/DVDs are vanishing too @audioisgood I did not know Amazon was a reliable source for current manufacturing. It depends on what you’re looking for. For cars, definitely not, but Maxell has a store on Amazon and you can see a number of products that they are currently... | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric Here is a quote from the Esoteric website referring to the K-01XD SE: "Finally, the SE version of the digital player models is now available with new discrete clock technology and improved analog circuitry in the DAC. We are proud of our brand an... | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric Just FYI, Esoteric has a new generation of players out. The K-01XD and K-03XD have been upgraded to SE designation. I don't know anything about how the SE players sound or if the K-05XD and K-07XD players will also be upgraded, but it may cause ... |
