| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? Interesting read gentleman. I just contacted Schiit as my Gen III card is intermittently not working and my streamer won’t recognize my Yiggy. I didn’t think much about the age of the Yiggy until I saw A000058 on the back. It’s pending a Uniso... | |
| In the sand box DuPont Zircon M sand is the most dense ( Heaviest ). You guys think you’re so anal, you should spend some time around competitive Bench Rest shooters. | |
| Need recommendation FWIT, I was at my wife’s office and found multiple pairs of the Sony WH1000XM4’s NIB gathering dust in a cabinet. I grabbed a pair as I’m starting to fly more often. I installed the Sony app on my IPhone and let them play for a few hours. I’m not ... | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it Hi , I would like to share my experience that occurred over the past two weeks. I have been running a Project Streambox Ultra II. I have both Tidal and Qbuzz. My streamer is hardwired and I have two usb cables, a Cardas Clear, and Wireworld Sta... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500 Just for giggles check out ESP Hi-Fi Bar in Denver ( web site ), sorry for lack of a link. They run above your budget, but they’ve paired Line Magnetic with Klipsch. And their pics are great eye candy. Might make you consider a used unit, but ... | |
| Happy listening in SoCal I’m in PG&E territory, if I’m not mistaken we have the second highest rates in the nation behind the San Diego area. My daughter lives in Pensacola and her power is 1/4 the rate of mine ( 12 cents per kwt Vs 49/59 ) . That said, the $40K I... | |
| Time to make a change ? I’m looking at the Innuos Pulse. But at your equipment level get the Pulsar and call it a day. Also the guy right above me knows his stuff. Cheers , Mike | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I went through that phase about 10 years ago. Since then I have given most of it to my kids. What I haven’t given away is stacked in a closet. On top of the stack is a barely used Oppo 105, so go figure. The one category that I do cherish is NOS t... | |
| critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve? At the price point of your system, you’d be hard pressed to upgrade without just getting a new system. But things to consider first, you have speakers that are ported on the back. Moving them would be a huge plus , but it sounds like that’s not po... | |
| Streamer/Ripper/Storage Are you using a Belkin cable now ? You absolutely need a better cable. I’m looking at a new streamer in the $2-$3.5K range now , hence I’m reading all the threads. I currently have a Project Ultra Stream II that replaced a laptop. It was an improv... | |
| Greg Kihn I saw him in person for the first time at the Bass Lake Triathlon. His band played in the parking lot at the village area. The event was also significant as it was one of the first pro triathlons. His music is great and I’ve enjoyed him ever sin... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use Thegreenline, as I own an RP-1, I feel compelled to speak. However I’m not clear as to what pre you replaced with the Rogue. Also is the Rogue new or used ? My midfi system is a Schiit Yiggy, Rogue RP-1, Had Insp... | |
| Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used For a tube power amp , I’d recommend the Dennis Had Inspire ( 12 wpc ). For SS I’d recommend the Van Alstine NP1 power amp ( 55 wpc ). I’m running a modded Akitika ( 50 wpc ) in rotation with the Had into Zu Omens with a Rogue pre. I’m going to ... | |
| Why a dedicated SACD player more noticeable sound quality difference than HDMI-I2S w/ DACs I have an Oppo 105 not currently in use. If I’m not mistaken the fidelity is reduced using hdmi due to licensing. Does that come into play for your experiment? There’s a product to solve that , I believe it’s called The Break Out Box. Cheers , Mik... | |
| Best 12AU7? @olds1959special , hi sorry for being late to the game. First off Brent Jesse’s sound description of 12AU7’s is spot on. It’s all personal preference and system dependent. However , I highly recommend the standard Tekefunken smooth plate for a sta... |
