| Calling All Tube Gurus I don’t mean to derail this in any way but wanted to add my experience. In the pursuit of better sound we search out tubes,sometimes based on some thing we read like "Joe’s tube lore".Why Not ? It’s a fun and informative read. But these and simila... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out 2 things not so far mentioned and likely you have already tried this BUT: Can you adjust volume via the Volume knob rather than the remote? Are you sure you have not hooked up your power amp cables to the "record Out" outputs? | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? @zavato Remarkable, beam me up. | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? Before the age of streaming we were at the mercy of the recording quality. With streaming, and millions of recordings so easy to access we can populate our favourites folders with music that is wonderful and well recorded as well. For example,... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I abandoned hard media a few years ago and never looked back. Very happy with the sound, convenience, and ability to access new music. I’m over 70 and when I was young the radio was a viable source of exposure to new music and if I liked something... | |
| Where Do I Go from Here? I understand your desire to upgrade, that is a big part of the fun of this hobby, but I am curious as to why you are so steadfast on not replacing any other components, only the speakers. Your system should be a synergy of the individual parts. I... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? So many speaker recommendations but you really need to go out and listen if you can. You have not mentioned anything about the room. How big is it? Will you be able to have the speakers ideally placed out in the room or must they be close to a wal... | |
| Is there a cheaper alternative to this: Well I have a pair of KLH 5s and the stands came with them. That being said I also have some other wooden stands that I bought on ebay that are custom made by an individual in Reno. If you type JBL 100 stands in the E bay search line, they should... | |
| What are the absolute legendary Snell model no.s? I have a pair of the Model E5 Mk 2. Bought them new over 20 years ago and used them in my 2 channel stereo and still use them currently in my home theatre system. They were wonderful speakers but I wished they had a better bass response. Being the... | |
| What to change in my system Having just read a review of your amplifier, it seems to me your system is pretty well matched. No doubt a tube integrated amp would give you a more natural picture into the music. Tube amps from companies like Conrad Johnson are generally reliabl... | |
| Noob question about streaming . . . In a nutshell: #1 A different streamer would possibly provide for a better software than HEOS to control your music access but if you are OK with it, then there is no need to change. #2 Tidal Connect is merely being able to use Tidal, with the i... | |
| Going Tubing I have had various amps and preamps over the 55+ years in this hobby. Almost all of it has been tubed and the times I delved into SS units, they didn’t last long in my system...back to tubes I went. A tube preamp is a very good way to start, a no... | |
| Streamer only @hilde45 Oops, I misread the $1000. LOL Do you remember the character from the old days of SNL, Roseanne Roseanadanna. " I thought you said xxxx, never mind" | |
| Streamer only If your budget is $100 max then you really only have a couple of options. One is the Wiim streamer with the optical out and that will give you the best user experience but your DAC would need to have an optical input. The app interface plays a big... | |
