| Audio Note Kit 1 @jtgofish when I first purchased the ANkit1 it had a pair of sophia mesh 300b tubes. These sounded very slow. Almost like syrup, albeit a very analog sounding syrup. After switching to the Genalex Gold Lions 300bs, it became much better. I think t... | |
| Bulding Cabinets, Binding Posts, and Speaker Wire ??? Thanks for the advice everyone. I will be cutting the cable down. The driver will be connected with the spade terminals, as it is easy to do. I will either crimp or solder the other side of the cable to the binding posts. It’s just 1 15in full ran... | |
| Turning MQA off Tidal @ejr1953 now go to your dac settings in roon and turn off mqa core decoder. Now go and play the same mqa album with it off. You will get a higher resolution file without any unfolding done by the computer. Sounds better than mqa on my device, and ... | |
| Review of STi5 server (Small Green Computer) and Signature Series Rendu renderer (Sonore) Your money would have been better spent in other places. I agree that the backend matters substantially as well, but when your backend components are 5× the price of your dac, you would have been much better off investing that money into a new dac... | |
| Audio Nirvana Drivers @wig how long did you give them to break in. My 8in neodymium took quite awhile before they lost there "shout". I think part of the problem is that they are very very directional. I have them paired with my el34 amp still, but have gone up to the ... | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 @jbrrp1 I posted the link of the kit 1 I bought. It was bought here on audiogon. I paid $1650 for it. Had upgraded resistors, upgraded film caps, and upgraded silver internal wiring. Also came with all the tubes needed. | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 @cal3713 and whoever else that might be interested. I have had a chance to listen to the audio note kit 1. I am very satisfied to say the least. The audio note paints a much smoother picture, with a much more laid back presentation. I have never h... | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 It's still shipping or that's exactly what I would have done. Should arrive within the next week. | |
| Chord Qutest - would you buy it again? I own the chord 2qute, and its amazing for what it is. I use a Sonore UltraRendu running Roon to connect to the 2qute. Very wide separation and soundstage. With rhythm and detail that will put a smile on your face. The qutest is just a newer model... | |
| 12V Deep Cycle battery with Pure Sinewave inverter for tube amp? I am converting from DC to AC. My amplifier is a 115v AC amp, thus the conversion to AC must be done. Along with capacitors @dgarretson , any link you could send me on how this might be achieved would be greatly appreciated. I have no knowledge at... | |
| 12V Deep Cycle battery with Pure Sinewave inverter for tube amp? I've also got a cheap furman power conditioner. Would connecting this along with the inverter benefit any positives, or should I just go straight into the inverter? | |
| 12V Deep Cycle battery with Pure Sinewave inverter for tube amp? If there is a danger with fumes releasing, would a gel type battery solve this problem? | |
| 12V Deep Cycle battery with Pure Sinewave inverter for tube amp? @imhififan should I be worried during discharge(connected to inverter while powering amp)? I will be doing all charging of the battery outside in a ventilated area. | |
| 12V Deep Cycle battery with Pure Sinewave inverter for tube amp? Put about 2 hours into my listening session last night. Connected battery to charge up this morning, and was still at 97%. Its a small amp, and is only pulling about 150 watts. Would not be feasible for more powerful amplifiers. | |
| Audio Nirvana Drivers Thanks for the info @j_stereo, i agree, from what I heard, the highs were definetly a little rolled off. What would your opinion be on throwing a crossover in the mix and adding a super tweeter?This of course would help with the high frequency rol... |
