| DIY Replacing Components in Crossovers Thanks Erik. Does Mundorf have a particular sound to them? Curious about "not to replace caps in parallel with the drivers." Is that less bang for the buck doing that? | |
| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? I did the exact same thing j-wall. I have a Primaluna dialogue premium hp amplifier with 8 kt150 tubes and also found my 13 by 17 upstairs listening room getting very warm during the summer. After an hour or two the temperature rise in the room wa... | |
| Bridge II card PS audio. While I haven’t made a direct comparison of the bridge II versus the bluesound node in my system I do have the Directstream with the bridge II and my buddy uses the bluesound node in his system. Without question I prefer the interface of the node ... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? When is the water warm enough for me to take a comfortable shower? I guess you just know. | |
| Gratitude and Thanksgiving nonoise, where did you find that picture of me? | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like @4krowme "that doesn't make you bad person, right?" Of course not.

| The volume of my speakers going down by itself and going back again in a minute or two My first inclination is there is an issue with the new to you preamp. If you have a spare pre try it and see if the problem goes away. If it does that at least narrows down the component. If indeed the preamp, and not knowing which specific audio ... | |
| Garage Listing room @hiend2 "Going to bring in a set of speakers and amps and listen to someting fimilair, the room the system is in now are almost the same dimensions, will report" there you go. Listen and see what you have. Since you will still be using the space ... | |

| PC for Gryphon Diablo 300 @questforhifi Good to hear. Sounds like a keeper for sure. I came so close to buying a used one about a month or so ago for sale in Tennessee but my index finger just couldn't commit to hitting the purchase button due to all the zeros in the price... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided Some of us really enjoy the journey. It's not about being unsatisfied, it's about trying new stuff with different combinations and having fun with it. Kind of like, you know, a hobby. | |
