| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I'm holding out for a pair of active speakers with an internal amp, DAC, CD player that is also portable. Hey! My boom box in the garaurage does that. | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? @rok2id Yes, you're right. I should say today's jazz. And as much as I appreciate Miles Davis he lost me at Bitches Brew. I've never been a big fan of Fusion Jazz either. I do like Weather Report though. | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? 3_E_P, All those artist you list I also like. I was trying to make a point and may have been to strict limiting myself to the 70's because there are a number of latter artist I like but they do all play that early style of improvisational jazz. R... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? "I will also leave a stream of bad comments on every forum I can since going back to Sonos will represent a big financial loss to me simply because Bluesound is an irresponsible/deceptive company at my expense."Are you a child? Go find an adult to... | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? Blue Bird Music is the domestic distributer for Vienna Acoustics. Call them for advice and a repair option. That sounds like a repair not a replace.http://www.bluebirdmusic.com/ | |
| Is it my amp or my speakers? Audiophile rule #1: You will never find what's right for you by asking others what's right for them.Find a way to listen to quality systems yourself until you get that aha moment. | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? Yes, but only with wireless speakers. | |
| Upgrade capacitors in tube amplifier? @chinook9 " 1extreme, I realize the circuitry is very different. Generally, do you think there is less potential for a coupling cap upgrade to be as effective as a crossover cap upgrade?"The answer to that really depends on the other components in... | |
| Upgrade capacitors in tube amplifier? After looking at the Willsenton web site I see that they use generic EL34 tubes stamped with their Willsenton name. (I'm sure Willsenton is not manufacturing tubes.) At that price point they are likely not higher quality tubes. Even expensive tube... | |
| Upgrade capacitors in tube amplifier? I really like the internal wiring on that tube amp. Very neat and organized. 80% point-to-point except with the few pcb boards and thicker wire than a lot of more expensive domestic amps. My thoughts on the cap upgrades is to not do it unless you ... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Roon | |
| Leave tube amps always on? aj,Whether turning a tube on & off or leaving it on, a tube doesn’t consume any more power than they are designed to consume (as long as your amp is functioning properly and biased correctly). But the initial temp change from cold to hot when ... | |
| Leave tube amps always on? aj,The arguement for leaving tubes on is that they sound better fully warmed up not that the tubes consume excess power when you turn them on. Frequent on off tends to reduce tube life especially power output tubes. You should perform some experim... | |
| TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW @tooth2thClarify. Are you trying to upgrade to a better DAC? If you are happy with the DAC in the C2500 you don’t need the NT-505 you just need a WIFI streaming device to connect to the digital input on your C2500. Plenty of WIFI streamers to sele... | |
| TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW I am still enjoying my NT-505 and am happy I purchased it but one thing I would like to clarify is that it is not really a preamp because it has no analogue inputs. It is a digital streamer DAC with a volume control and multiple digital inputs.As ... |
