| Bits Are Bits, Right? Glad you are liking the Orchid uber. I have mine in my computer system. It sounds better than my turntable in that system by a considerable margin and the turntable, cartridge and phono stage cost close to three times as much as the Orchid. In my ... | |
| Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback? I knew what you meant Uber. Tomic, we have a music club here in Olympia that meets monthly. Tonight actually. If you would like to check it out sometime, let me know and I'll send details. | |
| Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback? Uber, Friday Harbor is a beautiful place. It would be great to meet up. I don't get to Seattle too often tomic, but it would be great to meet you as well. You're in Redondo if I remember right? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Stones - Beggars Banquet | |
| Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback? Do I hear a Seattle Meetup in the works? | |

| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR and Cambridge Audio Azur 851N You might be thinking of the newest Vincent SV 237MK, however it retails for about $2,400 USD (are you in another country?), not $4.5K. The unit I bought was a second hand Vincent SV 237 (no "MK"), the previous generation. I paid $1250, or $250 ... | |
| 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. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime | |
| 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. |
