| When were the best tube amps made? and an honorable mention to the OTL crowd: Futterman, Graaf, Ralph Carsten and Dave Berning | |
| When were the best tube amps made? The best amps were made when Japanese thoroughness joined American ingenuity: think Wavac, Shindo, Yamamoto, Kondo and nowadays Allnic, Zanden and Luxman | |
| The best plug in filter ever! This looks similar to Add Powr’s Eau2 or Eau4 as well as Stein Music’s Quantum5 | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @8th-note my streaming sounds better than my InnuOS Zenith Mk3 SSD. That may be a function of ripping. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @8th-note I went from a substantially tricked out Mac Mini to an InnuOS Zenith Mk3 and the difference wasn’t small. Digital audio is all about power supplies and superior clocking. Can you try and run your computer from an audiograde LPS? Altern... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @anzaanimalclinic +1, Etherregen also loves a good external clock | |
| Uptone EtherRegen The Er is wonderful, it gets even better with a fine LPS and a good master clock. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @soix +1 he has been doing it for a long time and is notorious for it. | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? Look at Akiko Audio line products before spending megabucks on a PC. Cleaning up the junction box and ground has bigger payoffs | |

| Allnic tube dac Has it occured that I am not discussing a power amplifier on this thread? Doh! | |
| Allnic tube dac @pindac I assume you refer to Jules Futterman designs which indeed sometimes did their contribution to heating the room. In any case, I ran a Graaf GM20 OTL for many years without even a valve blowing up, never mind the amp, before shifting to m... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience yet another very dogmatic thread, this. If SUTs are evil, why do designers like Ortofon, Yamamoto, shindo et al use them rather than active circuits? Surely there are many ways to Rome and implementation matters. | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @prof measurements need to reflect reality. Unfortunately acoustics at this stage of scientific development is more art than science.….and being doctrinaire about using measurements when they don‘t reflect reality is very dogmatic, not scientifi... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius Tubes unlike SS don‘t switch. Unless you go to class D with a high switching frequency that remains audible |
