| Tuner choices: Tandberg or Luxman? Can't help you with those two. I do have a new Sangean HDT-20 Digital AM/FM tuner and it performs real well with a simple indoor cable antenna. No vintage tuner issues to deal with and hi res to boot. Win, win. | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? I lost track. So many records, so much equipment.. | |
| Dusting gear and turntable My VPI Classic and secondary table both have covers. Absolutely necessary item to avoid dusting damage on TTs. | |
| Sound room humidity At 55%, the air becomes too thick and deadens the sound a bit in my experience. 40% is ideal in my house of stereo and I never have any static pops on my vinyl rig. | |
| It's been a long time. In my experience, it costs quite a bit more money to equal a vinyl rig sound with a streaming one. | |
| LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM "The room can make or totally wreck a system" discussion posted by hilde45 today m ay be a good way to start. | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" Preaching to the choir. In my case anyway. For anyone who thinks they have as good a system as can be regardless of cost in an untreated room, pay attention to what hilde45 posted. I only listened to 2/3 of it because I already experienced all of ... | |
| Has this ever happened to you? Yes, many times. It's actually a fairly easy task with a properly built and acoustically treated listening room when your goal is simply to reach that level of audio nirvana on a specific rig, whether it is streaming, CDs or vinyl. The real challe... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? 98.9 FM college station in Austin, all hi res, 3 channels. Running my digital FM tuner through my dac on the main system. Can sound great. Don't do it often, but nice option to have imo. | |

| DDC Comparisons The U18 has 4 different I2s settings. With my Gustard dacs I used the first setting (Gustard). With my new Audio Mirror Tubadour V, I use the #4 setting. That's the PS Audio setting which Tubadour uses. That feature alone makes the extra cost of t... | |
| Got Innuous, now a DAC I have been down that long upgrading the streaming road too. Like you I started with the Node 130, then added a Teddy Pardo LPS using USB to a Gustard X26 PRO. Then moved on to a Innuos Zenith mk3 still using the USB connection. Then got a DDC to ... | |
| Seeking advice I run my digital FM tuner through my DAC dialed on the University of Texas radio station in Austin.They play a variety of genres 24/7 all in hi res, meaning it hits all the notes. I do so for 5 days straight with any new component or cable for tha... | |
| Is it the gear or the ears? It takes all kinds. Whatever rocks your boat. It took me over 50 years to start concentrating on room acoustics. My ears are grateful. |
