| Anyone else have issues with Tidal? I’ve had Tidal for a few years. I streamed a with laptop and about 2 years ago switched to a dedicated streamer. I’ve had occasion to stream from my phone to a Bose portable speaker while working in the garage or yard. Since I was at home Tidal dr... | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare Good luck Richard, here’s what I did in your situation. One approach , I took the system apart and cleaned and treated all the cables, components, tubes, and tube sockets with Deoxit. This took a full day. Then I pulled the rack away from the wall... | |
| RIP Jeff Beck Over Under Sideways Down….. another great musician goes to the big gig in the sky. +1 @rlb61 , I streamed that album today. | |
| Kim Simmonds Has Passed @ 75. Sorry to hear that , thanks for sharing. I had tickets to see them and they canceled. I had to settle for the other 2 bands that were playing, ZZ Top and Cold Blood. So I never had the opportunity to see them live. I did however get to see Fogha... | |
| Speaker Hum If your speakers have powered subs, could you be having a ground loop problem? You have a cord for the amp and each speaker. So that’s 3 plus a source. Do you have a power filter or gang outlet on an extension cord so you could try all 3 on one ou... | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? First off , as a person interested in this topic, I appreciate the contributions as they are sound and based on listening trials. My experience with MQA and only a couple of DAC’s is that I wasn’t impressed. Also since my main DAC is a Shitt Yiggy... | |
| Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED) Off topic , but would it be possible ? Could you request an A/B amp from one of the boutique builders like Van Alstine or Odyssey and have the bias set to the extreme towards class A ? Just a random thought and I apologize in advance for my ign... | |
| Zu for Pass Labs? Contact Reno Hi Fi and ask for recommendations. I purchased used Omens and run on a budget with Had Inspire or Akitika, and enjoy them. The gentleman that sold me the Omens regrets letting them go. However he has in his rotation Devore 0/96’s ... | |
| 3 Level, 40-44" wide, Well built for Isolation-Gear Stand-Where/Who? I would get ideas from the Timber Nation site and similar places. Then I’d commission a local craftsmen to build it from a hardwood that pleases you. Also consider if you want it modular/ stackable or just one solid build. I’d also consider keep... | |
| Streamers and their Fuses Great thread , loads of good information. To the detractors running the interlaced fodder , you remind me of “ At the Zoo “, by S & G. Great info and great entertainment in one thread. Kinda like Certs , two mints in one. I love all of you , h... | |
| DISCOGS: Music recommendations inspired by standout albums of 2022 I received the promo also, as I have an account at Discdogs. Yes we get plastered with marketing promos , but if we find something new we like it’s worth wading through the ones we don’t. Nothing is more enjoyable than finding new music that is... | |
| KT 150 failure George, thanks for the post. As a tube enthusiast I learn from my fellow Agoners. Over the last couple years I’ve had 2 power tube failures with my Had Inspire. The first was a SED Winged C 6550 that had a catastrophic envelope failure. Big pop an... | |
| Klipsch Speakers Check with online stores and inquire about a home demo. Many offer a trial period and could offer suggestions as to what pairs well with your Fortes. Demo a couple amps and if not happy , try different speakers. | |
| Klipsch Speakers I think you have too many variables in play for a single solution. If I may ramble a little. The Klipsch Heritage series has a distinct sound, tubes will improve it, but it’s still Klipsch and will always be bright and lack bass. Also your room... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? I see the “ lamp cord comment “ by the same contributor. So do you still run the thin red, white and yellow interconnects? According to you , it’s just wire. Why do you roll tubes ? They’re just metal and glass. Some poor village is deprived o... |
