| Bob Ludwigs own Copy for sale @tablejockey They are out there, in various degrees of ruin from being stacked and played on the BSR all in one rigs from the 70's Old Zep friends and I enjoyed it the other night because of this thread-thanks! The mighty Zep and the rest are... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @mulveling There’s some paranormal audiophile force that makes us feel like the more "purist" approach must always be better: triode versus pentode, DHT versus separate heaters, single-ended versus push-pull, ladder-dac versus delta-sigma, disc... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode The jury is still out on this, but I do have some CDs in mind that I want to listen to over the next few days as I continue to evaluate. Sounds like a good thing to me if music comes to mind and then to your system. not sure why you "hate to sa... | |
| Are using hearing aids for stereo listening like trying to push a river through a straw? said it was like trying to push a river through a straw! I think I would stay away from him. It sounds like he has little understanding of his product or little faith in it. Hearing aides have a very similar task as subwoofers. They only ampli... | |
| Bob Ludwigs own Copy for sale @tablejockey I agree with you. My only thought is that the RL pressing is somewhat legendary as is Zep, themselves. Maybe it's the historic value. But then I think about how obscure this might be in 30 yrs. Then too, collectors are a breed which ... | |
| Music Hall Classic Turntable I'm surprised some smart a** hasn't chimed in saying "yes, switch to a XYZ brand of table for the upgrade". Why is that such a bad answer @rpeluso? My thought is that an external phono preamp is a good move if you don't already have one. And ... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go Harman Kardon 730 receiver I bought it new in 1978 It was my first real system with great sound with the Large (Orig) Advent speakers Teac V770 Cassette player Came around early mid 80’s. Just forgot about it. Just like Magnavox CDP 650 CD Player... | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? @richardbrand Why is it so? You'll have to talk to the Accountants, then Marketing, Then the Lawyers who must grease the palms of the proper officials who will make sure they have your complete cooperation with the proper authorities who wil... | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! @yesiam_a_pirate I had a DirectStream Mk 1. It sounded good to me but I didn't like it's streamer card Ill give a hearty Amen on that. I'm not sure I ever got it working...at least not correctly. DaC is fine for now. It plays well with my sy... | |
| Tube Preamp with "pass through" for HT option? Conrad Johnson has theater pass through. | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! @rajugsw Good review IMO. You nailed its sound signature which is one reason I like it so much. The only weakness in my system/room is that upper midrange. It sometimes has that upper mid glare which drives me nuts. Doesn't happen with my vinyl... | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! DirectStream was S’phile A+ component. It was a Dac that many Reviewers used. Of course that was 7-9 yrs ago. Sure, digital keeps advancing. But an A+ DaC is still going to hold its own considering its age. whether the Denefrips is superior is har... | |
| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! It’s an investor driven society and has been for a good while. Its all about the $$$. Bose sees an opportunity to make $$$ Pretty simple. Most great products start off with a single or small group of visionaries. They use their ability to make a ... | |
| Hagerman Trumpet MC review Thanks for the review. I too have a JLTi mk 4 which I bought new many years back. There was a big shootout of several phono preamps with The JLTi at least tied as best. most of the others cost a lot more. But I get the urge to look elsewhere. I th... | |
