| Lack of Surround Sound Signal from TV to Processor... Why? Sorry, OP for the incomplete advice. I use my optical out from my LG OLED for 2.0 channel output only, (when I want to stream Youtube videos, Tiny Desk, etc....). That way I can place the TV output through my 2.0 Hi-fi system, bypassing the AV rec... | |
| Lack of Surround Sound Signal from TV to Processor... Why? @freediver Yes, I stand corrected: https://www.google.com/search?q=toslink+support+multichannel+output%3F | |
| Lack of Surround Sound Signal from TV to Processor... Why? OP, are you saying your outputting from your TV with optical cable, not HDMI? If that is the case (I certainly could have missed something in your post but...) you can only get 2.0 from optical. You need HDMI for multichannel sound. And you go... | |

| The Medical Explanation Of Why You Are Addicted To HiFi Audio I knew it! I’ve always tried (vainly), to communicate to non-believers that I’m not crazy, that moderate to whatever investment in a music system that will playback an arresting level of sound is worth every penny , and more! People just think abo... | |
| Crucial TUBE question Lots to digest here. I’m impressed by the depth of knowledge you all bring to this area of audiophilia, and I’m learning a ton. I will try to tread more carefully and when in doubt—-I won’t without running it by folks with experience. Thanks to... | |
| Crucial TUBE question @dogearedaudio, Just checked-out what’s available for NOS GZs. You’re right, they fetch a hefty price. I’l l just put it out there that since I can’t use them, I’m willing to do a straight swap of the essentially brand new Tung-Sol KT-150s (cryo/... | |
| Crucial TUBE question @dogearedaudio, Just saw your post after my last upload. That’s sounds promising. I’ll definitely look into it. Thanks. | |
| Crucial TUBE question One more thing… What got me started down this dark path was the simple quest to acquire the best (rectifier?)sounding tube I could get for the PL. My PL feeds 2 amplification outputs (Luxman switches between them): 1. Parasound Halo A1+ 2. Two... | |
| Crucial TUBE question @carlsbad2 I know! But everything checks out: the PL is in the signal path alright, volume control for all sources, turn off the PL = no sound and vice-versa. The KT 150s lit up as well (mostly at their tops, because KT105s don’t glow much becau... | |
| Crucial TUBE question I did indeed use 2 KTs in the 2 available rectifier slots. The pins actually did fit in the available holes. I had robust, deep bass and sparkling highs for the brief time I had them in. No exaggeration, the soundstage doubled, the sound was tacti... | |
| Crucial TUBE question @mulveling thanks for the kind kick in the pants. I should’ve known better. and @czarivey, thanks for that info too. I’ve since pulled the KT150s (cryo and matched for crying out loud!), and I will have to sell them or save up for a powerful enoug... | |
| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? God, that’s a funny video/song! I did play it for my wife like a crazy fool thinking she’d get the joke since I’m not near as bad as the poor junkie in the video, but her response was predictable: “I can relate”, she said. Really? I mean, come ... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable I have the entry OL Onyx which replaced an RB300 for my Rega P2 (Groovetracer modified all the way down). Everything was instantly more transparent and full bodied (if I can use that term). The downside was after a month of happy listening I began... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? @soix, ha, ha. I have to chuckle a bit because I’ve been guilty of nudging a couple of the guys to upgrade, if just a little. One of the guys actually went from Bose cubes to KLH 5’s! The only snag (to me), was he kept an AV receiver in the cha... |
