| My Oppo is a bit too bright I must agree , my Oppo 105D is too bright . I also tried using my Audeze headphones and what I disliked about my Oppo was highlighted. I currently run a Schiit Yiggy and a Musical Fidelity transport . Most my interconnects are Morrow . I too con... | |
| Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound. The correct answer is what you like based on your system in your house . Beware of the people that tell you what you will hear in “Absolute statements “. I use some bananas and some spades . For me in my system , silver on the connectors or in/... | |
| Why so obsessed with bass? I caught one 9 1/2 lbs two weeks ago . | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? Oleschool, thanks for your post . You have a nice system BTW . I think talking/ believing in absolutes is a mistake , as you pointed out by posting the other gentleman’s opinion . I found out first hand how poor my “ Old Memories “ are by p... | |
| Did any Amp help you understand lyrics better? +1 to Wolf Garcia . I went with low power tubes and high efficiency speakers . The result I achieved, is an extremely clear sound . At low to moderate volume with either DAC or TT, it is amazing . I suffer with hearing that makes it difficult ... | |

| Adding a SS amp as a 2nd amp for my tube rig has been a plus @hilde45 , Yes I was asking you , sorry I wasn’t more definitive. I’m in the same position you were . So I’ve considered SS low and moderate power amps , and integrated too . And with other hobbies , very budget driven. I currently run ZU’s ... | |
| Adding a SS amp as a 2nd amp for my tube rig has been a plus Hi , may I ask what SS amp you’re running? I run a modest tube pre and low power tube power amp . I’ve had huge improvements with pre tubes , and again with the amp driver tube . But the rectifier and power tubes have had a profound change too . I... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? I have a Rogue RP-1 with NOS Telefunken G73–R’s and a Morrow MP4 power cord and and Morrow MA-5 IC’s . I also use isolation pucks and a brass weight on the case . While it’s a good match for my Had Inspire , I wouldn’t buy it again. The headpho... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I have 2 early pressings and I enjoy them . The producer mentioned earlier did an outstanding job , especially considering the “ Era “.

| Why Crazy Prices paid for Pioneer 100 JBL L100 AR1 AR3 AR3A Recently watched a 1965 Ford GT350R serial number 1 go for $3.5 M. I can’t afford a vintage car but I have a pristine pair of 80’s JBL 4312A’s with custom Sound Anchor stands 26” tall . And they’re in the closet because they don’t sound like I r... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less I have a Yiggy with a tube pre and a SEP amp with Zu speakers . I like it very much . But honestly , I’ve very little to compare it to . So many people recommend what they like . But only a few have heard a variety and even fewer in THEIR SYSTEM .... | |
| Bias adjustment Oh and you never power one up without a load ! And Raven has great stuff ! | |
| Bias adjustment Hi here’s some random babbling . I use a meter with a digital readout . Most of the tube amps I’ve biased require that you short the input , I use a rca with a jumper soldered down the center to ground , and then just soldered to the positive s... |
