| Help with finding a new streamer. Do you know if Aurender supports Spotify. I don’t use Roon and thinking I’m going to let my Tital subscription go as well. I do find the Aurender most appealing. I’m really not a fan of having to find a power supply that won’t match the unit as we... | |
| Primaluna? I just want to clarify that I’m not knocking Primaluna in any way, and plan to purchase one in the future. Was just sharing my experience with Kevin and what I thought about it. I do think from my research that Primaluna makes a very well made, w... | |
| Primaluna? Amps I can understand much better. Preamps not so much. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Kevin him self talk about how preamps aren’t amplifyIng the sound as much as they are reducing the signal. I think he duscusses this when talking about the amount o... | |
| Primaluna? Since this thread continues to go in another direction than I intended I may as well roll with it. I like most have seen Kevin in his videos going back years. I’ve had one personal conversation with him regarding the Prologue Premium Preamp, and ... | |
| Primaluna? Thanks for all the feedback from everybody. I have to sell some gear first, but will be trying a Primaluna when that’s worked out. Curious peoples take on an integrated vs going seperates. Looking for specifics far as where the differences are. ... | |
| Opinions On DACs Around 1,000$ I understand everyone wants to know the rest of my system but I intentionally left this out to try to focus the discussion. I find although people are always very helpful in there replies things can get off topic. I’m really just trying to get a b... | |
| Time Delay on Denafrips Ares ii ? Will do, thanks. | |
| How to tame a bright system? Even if auditioning isn’t possible I would try a pair of Harbeth C7es3 xd. I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be happy. They are not overly warm whatsoever like some might have you think. They have a pretty similar frequency balance but with much much s... | |
| Cable Management Tips and Tricks Can somebody explain the rubber band trick more thoroughly for me please? | |
| Two Cables From One? So I found a couple Shunyata Venoms for a solid price and purchased. I decided to give Shunyata a call and see if they could cut them down and re-terminate them for me. They said they could but it really doesn’t make sense due to cost. There cost... | |
| Two Cables From One? Thanks for thoughtful reply. You clearly have a good amount of experience with cables. Far as the spiral geometry, I’m not fully understanding what your saying. I was under the impression that the jacket would hold the spiral? Also when you say ... | |
| A little tube magic? Thanks for all the replies. Definitely helping me narrow down my path. I’m starting to think a tube buffer of some sort as well as maybe a tube dac. The Modwright buffer is very intriguing. I’m not aware of another company with as much pedigree ma... | |
| A little tube magic? Budget would be around 1,000-2,000 if I were to keep my current ss pre. If I’m replacing it then budget would be 3,000-4,000. Really would like to stick with McIntosh for the simplicity of operation for the wife and guest. Which leaves me feeling ... | |
| A little tube magic? Speakers are C7es3 XD. I listen at moderate I would say volumes. Sometimes I get peaks in the 90db range usually about 70-85 db average. I’d probably look into something that had at least 75 watts. The Mc275 would be an obvious choice with my McIn... | |
| A little tube magic? I would love to run a tube power amp but nervous about running 50+ hours a week. How long do most power tubes last? It seems it could be pretty expensive swapping 6+ tubes on the regular. |
