| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I bought my Orchid second hand here, and it came with an assortment of tubes and DAC chips. Being already "burned it" it sounded great from the moment I first inserted it in my system. I haven't tried them all yet. I have the original chip in a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id You might consider starting a new thread about headphones so we don't derail this one. I dont know what receiver you have or how it's designed, but a headphone amp usually has only a few watts (like 1-5), so no, it's probably a different p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now tell me what you know about headphone amps. Do I need one?If you're happy with the way things sound now, you don't need one.If you have a decent set of headphones and a good source and want to get the best sound quality, then yes, you need on... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I bought an adapter to convert to a 6SN7 tube (I used a Sophia Electric) and gave it a brief tryout in my stock Orchid. I couldn't get it out fast enough. Not recommended. Should have listened to grannyring. | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Uber - I really liked Tauk. I had not heard of them before either. I'm not sure what to even compare it to, which might be why it jumped out at me. | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR and Cambridge Audio Azur 851N My P3ESRs sounded amazing with my ARC VSi55 integrated. It ran pretty hot in the small room I had it in and I recently switched to a Vincent SV 237 integrated. It incorporates an amp with the first 10 watts in class A with a tubed preamp and has... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I had Spotify on in the truck last night and heard something I wasn't familiar with and looked to see who it was - Tauk. I'm listening to Tauk "artist radio" now on Tidal, cool stuff! All instrumental with a funky jazzy jam feel to it. | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I've had my Vincent 237 for about a month now and after putting some new tubes in am really liking it. It has a lot of bite and energy in the midrange and a lot of detail in the upper registers without being "bright" or "brittle". It seems to be... | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i I miss Jaybo, he always had a way of making people feel happy with what they had. It appears you're going out of your way to follow that example. | |

| Best/easiest way to convert wma files? Uber, it looks like you have this figured out, but foobar2000 will also do batch conversions and it is free. I use it to rip CD's and listen to all the music on my network. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The NT-505 is staying in my main system since it includes a streamer. I'm using the Orchid in my computer room with my PC as the source. I can't say I like one over the other and I'm not knocking the Vega, it's a great piece, I just like how organ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Yeah, I liked that one a lot uber! | |
