| This cable game is making my head spin Hi , I feel your pain as I’m a cost driven Mid Fi guy. My system is tube pre and power to Zu omens. I got away from silver early on as it was too bright. I went to Anti Cable interconnects and speaker cables ( level III ) and Silnote power cab... | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? Back in the 70’s when I started this journey, I built most of my gear. I built my preamp from a kit, my power amps were a scratch built copy of Dynaco MK III’s. I built numerous speaker sets mostly 2 way. I did a 3 way but I bought premade cros... | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan Fisherman’s Blues by The Waterboys, this song reminds me of Dylan. | |
| 12x7 tubes +1 for Brent Jesse, read the tone descriptions they’re spot on. Next is what tone change is best for your system. After trying about a dozen brands of NOS tubes, I’m a huge Telefunken fan. That being said the Tungsram is a less expensive way to ... | |
| Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables? Hi , it might be helpful if you give additional info such as price point and your current system. That being said I have a restored and modded Thorens TD 160 MK II with a Grado Prestige cartridge. The plinth is custom made from rosewood salvaged f... | |
| Turn off or leave on? As I have a tube pre and power amp, I turn them off unless I’ll be listening again in the next 6-12 hours. My Schiit Yiggy stays on 24/7, and my Richard Gray does not turn off. Class D amps are another item that takes a long time to warm up. | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Thanks for the info, you’ve invested quite a bit of time and money. As a Schiit Yiggy owner, I’ve never done the comparisons and have no idea what I’m missing. I would like to ask about the Oppo 105, as you referred to it quite often and I have on... | |
| Amp Upgrade Path? With your budget and speakers look at Quicksilver pre and their KT monos. The pre will best your Rogue and their KT’s are now 100 watts. Rogue recommends rolling NOS Mullards in the small tubes. I much prefer Telefunkens and Siemens as they ar... | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. God Bless you @grislybutter , I can only imagine your pain. I’m Volga German and our people were run out of the Volga area in the late 1890’s. Many that didn’t flee died in work camps when WW I started. My wife and I were at the biggest park in ou... | |
| Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes @ghasley , I wrote my statement on a 4th grade level, but apparently it went over your head. The invasion thing is political and that has no place here . In making the comparison of ammo to tubes, consider that like tubes, ammo involves toxic mate... | |
| Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes Guilty as charged! I hoard vacuum tubes, and ammunition. At 65 years old I’ve calculated the amount I’ll need of both for a guesstimated life span and made multiple purchases. Living in California it’s also prudent to stock up on items that are... | |
| Looking for a 24/192 dac to compliment my oppo r2r setup Thanks for starting this thread. I have an Oppo 105 in the closet. I have a Schiit Yiggy Gen 2. I currently use a windows laptop, but I’m considering the Oppo to replace the laptop. I stream Tidal, but I’m not sold on MQA. Ever consider the Gear... | |
| Verastarr So the respondent lists that he’s “ Sober “, then gives a litany of problems and can now become the “ Victim “. Then he takes everyone’s inventory so he can feel “Superior “. Then he links his name to quality brands so he can be “ Redeemed “.... | |
| Verastarr You picked the wrong “ Mike “! Had you done business with Mike Morrow, you never would have been jerked around. Thanks for letting the entire AGON community know to avoid an irresponsible vendor. Respectfully, Mike B. | |
| The new Rogue pharaoh II slams @mulveling , your opinion is always appreciated and you have a beautiful system. FWIW, I have lower end Rogue gear and a friend that’s a former Rogue dealer. He had their higher end gear in his home. I have found that the Rogue items that utilize ... |
