6sn7 tubes and Schiit Freya + I have tried NOS Sylvania JAN tubes of that kind and they sound superb to my ears in my Freya Plus. I have also invested in socket savers since I don't like handling the glass on these old tubes. | |
Bluesound and BluOS I have been using Tidal on Bluesound devices. I tried Qobuz and found that I like the sound better on Tidal. Some are no fans of MQA files but I have found about 80% of the MQA version of albums I have listened to sound fantastic. I have moved my ... | |
hearing loss and amp choices Critical listening to music (or what us audiophiles enjoy with our audio gear) and having a known hearing loss in one ear is like driving a Ferrari with 1 flat tire. Yeah you can change the suspension on one side or pick flatter roads to drive the... | |
So I bought the Willsenton R-800i chmaiwald. Very nice comments on the sound of the amp. I would be very surprised if you were not satisfied with that amp. Further down the road you can look at other tubes. I have replaced my output tubes with Genelex Gold Lion and the preamp tube... | |
Bought an Audio Research Amp Great story. ARC makes quality gear and I am not surprised by how much your sound has improved. Happy Listening! | |
Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers? You have to get the right sub. For example you may want to avoid home theatre subs (like ported subs). You may want to avoid slow subwoofers that stuggle to stay fast enough for matching speakers. You may not want subwoofers that don’t have enough... | |
So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I have been looking at that amp. It looks like a well made beast! Let us all know how it sounds. I have a chinese push-pull Line Magnetic 216 integrated that I really like...but curious about this one. Also I would like to know how hot it gets... ... | |
This is good Schiit... I have a Bluesound Node2 (not Node2i) and Bluesound Vault. I have found that when I play TIDAL MQA albums, about 80% of them sound better then when my external DAC (a Schiit Bifrost Uber and/or Bifrost 2 is running). I think Bluesound and interna... | |
Best integrated tube amp for 1500? There is a Line Magnetic on the Agon site now. That would be a good push/pull integrated amp. I have the 216i and really like the build quality and sound. Also some Primaluna models, but I have no experience with that brand. | |
hearing loss and amp choices Get a quality hearing aid. It will help you in the other thousands of situations you will be in, outside of listening to music. Trust me! | |
Which device makes for a better digital music source? Computer or streamer? All very useful and educational comments and tips. It is pleasing to know one can spend little and one can spend alot but those at the extremes and those in the middle can still enjoy digital systems. I may try the filters for my own audio rig and... | |
Speakers known for great midrange. Wilson Audio Duette. | |
What’s the deal with high end CD transports not having the ability to program tracks!? I have an old Sony XA20ES CD player with an external DAC. It has all those functions and I agree, "why not include them"? I don't think the high cost of these transports are worth it. You don't get much??? Maybe they think extra electronics introd... |
