| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. The Linear Tube Audio (LTA) ZOTL Ultralinear was designed for speakers like yours. Tubes last 10-20,000 hours so no issue there. And dead quiet black black background. And with basically a 30 day in-home trial there is zero risk which is what you ... | |
| Speaker Audition Cause you’re in Thailand +2 on the Usher BE20. Not sure why they haven’t sustained any traction in the States. | |
| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume @atmasphere Isn’t the Berning amp similar in that neither design has the traditional audio output transformer? | |
| What’s your top 5 Christmas albums ? I just played a new LP tonight that was audiophile quality which is rare in a Christmas album. It was The Kacey Musgrave Christmas Show. Quiet clean dynamic. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @sokogearThe 20/20 LPS is so summer 2020 lol. I had since moved on to the new Sutherland Duo LPS ver. But recently I was given the opportunity to demo from the same retailer a brand new Zesto Andros Deluxe2 and go head to head with the DUI for up ... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @sokogearThx dude! My entire system - phonostage, preamp, amp, are tubes and I have an Audioquest Niagara 5000. I think you’re right though, my home theater is solid state and dead quiet. Idk worth the compromise for me and it’s not audible until ... | |
| Analog vs digital? Digital belongs with solid state and home theaters. Analog with TT and 2 channel music. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I was just asking a general question about hiss/hum from speaker drivers either ear up to driver or 3 feet away. As one turns the volume up when should it be noticeable and then turning it down when should it not? Thx ! | |
| Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables? I’m not buying the long 20 foot speaker wire degradation issue. I have 50-75 foot daisy chain runs of 12 gauge copper to my super high end outdoor speakers and they sound phenomenal. Or buy anti cable - they tested identical in long vs short runs. | |
| High Eng Audio Auctions on Ebay does not honor their deals At least they could have told you how much the additional shipping would be so you could make a decision or negotiate (split the difference) not that you legally needed to. Let’s say it was $200 more. For another $100 I’d probably say wtf. | |
| Used phono preamp options - feedback requested Sutherland 20/20 with the upgraded stand alone LPS. No BS. Shortest path. Dead quiet, and what someone posted above - optimized midrange king. But not tubes. | |
| Which tubes are the best? My new Amps came with two quads of NOS Mullards EL34. I loved them so much I started replacing the rest of my system with NOS Mullards - preamp NOS 12AT7 and phonostage NOS 12AX7. They are as you described in your post- liquid smooth detailed ri... | |
| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? Rega- it’s hyped maybe deservedly so, but should get a mention regardless When I started my first ever audiophile TT search this past Spring, I soon realized it was going to a nightmare of obsessive, expensive and inefficient tweaks for me, severa... | |
| Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor? That easy. Joni Mitchell Blue side B. Start with River, then A Case of You . I am a lonely painter | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Question. Ear to speaker driver, or some distance away, at what volume level determines noisy problem? Half way ? For example at 50 (halfway on my knob), barely audible with ear to drivers but at 60 start to hear hiss more prominently. |
