| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted @alexberger so you added an interstage transformer into a 300 B amp that originally did not come with it, if I understand correctly. What amp was it and what kind or what model transformer? Did you determine the specs for this or did someone else?... | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted Great input @glennewdick on your tube experiences, I will be saving it for reference. The interstage transformer idea is a new one to me. I will be looking for examples of that implementation down the road if I fall under the 300B spell, but I ha... | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted Lol, I was reading Joe Boyd and thinking he was the producer of the incredible string band and a bunch of other British folk rock type bands. Thanks for the clarification, of course there could’ve been more than one Joe Boyd, I suppose :-) | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted @lynn_olson @jasonbourne71 The possibility of the 2A3 is one of the reasons I got this amp and I am enough of a contrarian to go this direction first. I have heard others say the same as you , Lynn. If that were to be the case do you have any rec... | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp It has been wisely said that choosing a streamer as as much about choosing software as hardware. many people think Roon is the best software interface for playback and search and offers other features like DSP, Control and sharing between multiple... | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. It’s cool you’re into technique, but it’s worth noting that even many extremely accomplished musicians don’t feel they’ve arrived until they get beyond technique into the realm of pure expression. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? @juanitro I started a similar thread a while ago and got the same pushback from people who like to say “trust your ears“ unless your ears disagree with their preformed opinions and experiences. I’m interested what model iPhone you have I use an ol... | |
| Hardware or source materail @benanders 👍 I think it’s pretty well established that the quality of the recording is the single most important factor in sound reproduction. I second the notion that looking into streaming could bring you the biggest benefit since you have acce... | |
| Is there a cheaper alternative to this: If you’re handy it seems to me that some simple wood work could achieve the same endpoint | |
| Help me understand the current amp market @ghdprentice You need to think first about tube vs solid state… although some solid state, like the Pass XA series are very warm and tube like and visa versa Rogue. Brands you should consider first and foremost are Pass (solid state) and Aud... | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I have not bought into the “newer is better“ assumption that many people seem to make, nor do I buy into the “more expensive is better“ assumption that often goes with it. As far as streamers go I think a real sleeper is the circa 2015 Aurelic Ari... | |
| Digital Speaker Balance Control with ROON Thanks for that valuable tip! I can’t believe I’ve had run for years and didn’t realize it could do this. It is truly the Swiss Army knife of audio software. | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @erik_squires I don’t think we can say much of anything about that graph, and the others presented here without knowing the level of smoothing applied to the raw data. As I am sure you know anyone who has played around with Room Equalization Wizar... | |
| The real truth about recordings There is a strong similarity between recordings and photographs, as a means of artistic expression. They both are based on a real experience, and both become different by virtue of the media they are expressed in. | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) I’m with you @mahgister . I have found that the difference between a good system and a great system as far less than the difference between a good room and a bad room, or a good recording and a bad recording. I recently saw an interview on the au... |
