| Cleaning tube pins I didn't notice any difference but my room is not perfect and my ears are 48 so YMMV. | |
| My experience with Roon Hardware I've owned my Nucleus for around 6 years and there was one stretch of a few months when it would seriously lag for 5 minutes before changing songs, sometimes not play, etc. Communication with Roon is not easy other than the forum. Their forums rem... | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? Have you been sitting on this one? I'll add well made enclosures. | |
| Cleaning tube pins View post on imgur.com Found some good bits that will cut the time. I'll give it a try. | |
| Cleaning tube pins I had the dremel out for another project but just polished some NOS pins with the polishing bit (felt) and some compound. I can reach the outside but to get the insides, I'd have to trim felt and put some time into this. Will there be a reward for... | |

| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? Can we set Mapman up with a demo fuse for his 20,000th post. He's one of the more rational high post count people on the site. I'd chip in. | |

| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Devore O/93 to Verity Otello. Leben to Audio Note. | |
| Choosing the right equipment As buffer so eloquently stated, ask your dad for his thoughts. He might find solid state gear fatiguing if he had tubes, or who knows, maybe he is looking for SS for simplicity. Hard to know. I'm not one to typically recommend Chinese gear but at... | |
| Bully pulpits I’ve owned the Nordost QX4 and QB8 together with Frey 2 cabling and it added a vibrancy and 'your are there' perception to my system. A few times my wife and I had our kids turn the QX4 off and in a blind test and we both heard the difference 10/1... | |
| Bully pulpits I remember taking an elective in college on eastern thought. One of the topics was thought- reactive vs creative. There is nothing wrong with reacting strongly when called for, but to react strongly to something that many likely laugh at, should b... |
