| Stream Tidal to Oppo BDP-105? I have the Oppo 105 and I’ve streamed Tidal. I used the included Wi-Fi dongle and ran it using the Oppo app ( it’s blue ). It was a few years ago and I was transitioning from a laptop to a dedicated streamer. I also used it for my headphones. Un... | |
| Help me mod my tube amp Mullard Vs Telefunken is kinda like Chocolate Vs Vanilla. It’s personal preference within a particular system. I tend to put 6550’s and KT - 88’s in the same group. I compared the Winged C’s to NOS Tung Sol 3 hole 6550’s and the Svetlana’s were co... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @hiend2 Hi , I agree the RCA’s would be an improvement, probably quite significant. My Tekefunkens should arrive in a few days and I’ll replace the new production Tung Sol 12AX7’s. I have the system burning in on the dining room table. I used all ... | |
| Tube amp for Sourcepoint 8? FWIT , there is a review of your speakers on the Darko site. They are paired with a Prima Luna integrated. Upscale Audio is involved and sells both Prima Luna and MoFi. It might be worth a call to see what they think. I like a tube pre with a SS a... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s Well I’m on day 2 and the harshness is starting to subside. Unfortunately I could not stand the JJ 12AU7’s any longer. Although they’re the gold pin version I just couldn’t take it anymore. I had turned the mid and treble settings on the JBL’s to ... | |
| Score!!! Just Picked up a Pair of "THE best for Beatles" Speakers. Way cool ! Back in the late 60’s my uncle had a pair that resembled those. Also a Harmon Kardon A500 tube integrated and a Gerard TT that was pre 40 B style. If I remember correctly the speakers were “ Sand Filled “. I remember listening to the Be... | |
| McIntosh C8 (new) vs C26/2700 (used) Are you basing your opinion of the Rogue without changing the tubes ? FWIT Rogue is not soft and syrupy. A big part of the SQ with Rogue is JJ signal tubes suck ! Period ! Unfortunately you’ll have to pony up for 4 NOS tubes to realize the full... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @mulveling Thanks for sharing your experience. I was thinking Brent Jesse, but I will definitely check out Arizona Tube Supply. In the Rogue RP-1 I rolled everything from Mullards to high grade Telefunkens. Same with the single input tube in my Ha... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @decooney Hi , thanks for the advise. I have no idea how much time they ran after the repair. They installed new resistors, Hexfred diodes, new caps in addition to MORE caps. You can see massive pairs strapped to the chassis on the inside edge. P... | |
| Hum in my system; its the turntable R and L interconnects. Huh? Did this just start one day randomly? You mentioned your repair prior to this happening. As mentioned above cable shielding was an issue for me. I have a modded Thorens with a Grado Prestige cartridge. When I hooked it up I lacked a good pair of c... | |
| Upcoming Trip +1 on the Sony’s, but I have not compared. My wife had 5 pr that were unwanted by her employees, so I took a pair for traveling. In addition to flying I take them on my multi day tuna trips. The bunks are down below and those engines drone for hou... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @mulveling @decooney @hiend2 @big_greg Well my amps came home today. UPS had them on their side using a 2 wheeler in typical UPS style. Anyway they received the Dark upgrade and have all new tubes. I took the Hera out of the box and set it all ... | |
| Hum in my system; its the turntable R and L interconnects. Huh? Could you eliminate the power ground by using a cheap 2 prong wall adapter. Or use an extension cord to power the TT from another circuit ? | |
| Help me mod my tube amp Hi , it looks like the conversation has split into 2 directions. One about modding your amp, and the other regarding tube rolling. I don’t have your amp, but here’s my thoughts. Better signal tubes will improve the SQ, but they’re expensive and yo... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? In my modest system I use MFSL - Supertramp Crime of the Century and Pink Floyd DSOTM, because I like that type of music. I also will use Chris Isaak material because of the way it’s recorded. I particularly like his cover of Orbison’s “ Only the ... |
