| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Also just got an MU-1 (replacing a Lumin x1) into a Weiss 501. Just thrilled. 4x over sampling! Who knew? Darling where you been? My wife came into listen ( second time this month…stop the presses) and without me saying anything asked why it sound... | |
| Prima Luna Vs Accupahse Seriously there are so many factors (the room being a biggie). In my plebeian opinion putting the Amps difference into very general vernacular, the Focals are fast speakers and the Tannoys (horns) are a bit slower..nay a tad more analog. The same ... | |
| Prima Luna Vs Accupahse Accuphase. Accuphase .Accuphase all the way...to the tune of Jingle Bells | |
| New DAC with streamer Aurender N20 or Lumin X1 are both excellent one box units. Maybe this? | |
| New DAC with streamer How about a Weiss DAC501 new or used. It makes use of a AES/EBU DIgital Interconnect. Scads of great reviews and more on their website. 501 is a two channel DAC and 502 is four a channel DAC. | |
| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? Just in case you didn’t, did you check the power cord for nicks? If the male and female ends are operable did yah look there too? This is 99.8% sure not to be it. Did you switch cords? Tap tubes for microphonics? Swear a lot? | |

| Help settle a streaming argument! @polkalover Imagine the sound from an old “record player” verses a $10 -$50K turntable with fancy phono ($-$$$) stage and an 2-10K needle. Same is true for streaming equipment. The good news is that money outlays are far less for a smoking streami... | |
| Robbie Robertson: "Killers Of The Flower Moon" Soundtrack @audioman58 Exactly. Excellent book. Mankind is an oxymoron. | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. @mrskeptic (What’s in a name?) To me ElL-34’s in most amps sound warm. Maybe warm means not fast. Other tubes like the KT-150’s are not as warm (at least in my amp).. There’s something in the micro timing or thier musicality (sound rendering). Las... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. In my experience both can be stellar or lousy. Obviously it’s the whole system and room. Given my youthful sixty seven years I recently invited in a few younger women (supervised with feet on the floor) to also listen when changing from a tube int... |
