| Time for the Dynaco to go, Affordable Integrated or Separates for Wilson's Under $2.5K? Keep the Dynaco’s , put them in the closet . Get a SS amp . About a year from now , re cap and re tube the Dynacos . I prefer the Winged C’s for power tubes ( my taste ). I regret parting with my original pair . Years later , I wasn’t happy wi... | |
| Child Damage Mitigation I grew up in a house with a big stereo, power tools, firearms, motorcycles, instruments and a boat . I had engaging parents . I blew up the stereo, and damaged a few tools . But learned about music, hunting, fishing and building . I had fun on c... | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers + 1 for the Loki . I run a tube pre and a tube power amp . I mostly roll tubes for tone . Within that , I mostly roll power and rectifier tubes . I use the Loki less than when new . On a second amp that’s lower quality I would use the Loki always... | |
| Thoughts on choosing an amplifier Zu and Maggie’s ! Wow that’s a stretch . I’m in the Zu camp . First Watt for SS, Had Inspire for tube are both great . I run a Schiit Yiggy and a restored and modded Thorens . But your locked into the low power world . Wanna cover all those speake... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Hi , I'm streaming Tidal to a Schiit Yiggy from a laptop. I’m happy with the sound but consider this . A wired source will sound better than wireless . And the type and quality of your digital cable will make a huge difference . Also Tidal’s MQA... | |
| Soundstage Confusion Thank you to all, as I have learned much . Its always nice to have a second pair of eyes view a problem . But in our hobby , that usually isn't the case due to distance . Here is a conversation with merit , honesty and politeness . And for me , ... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers What speaker does Pass recommend? I have Zu and Klipsch Hersey’s . But at your price point and room size , Devore and the Klipsch Cornwall’s or Belles would be nice . Have you considered fresh crossovers for your existing speakers ? I’m interes... | |
| MoFi - Are You Kidding Me? Sorry for being over critical. I appreciate the record care information in your thread . I returned to vinyl last month after 35 years away . So first I’m relatively ignorant, second I’m at a lower level with my gear than you are . I just picke... | |
| Friend needs advice for $8,000 system My limited input concerns Schiit and Rogue . I’ve had 3 Schiit DAC’s , currently the Yiggy . Get at least the R2R models . The Rogue Sphinx and the RP1 are greatly improved with a pair of nos Telefunkens and an entry level power cord. I’ve also ha... | |
| MoFi - Are You Kidding Me? But what I dislike the most is the word “ Frickin “ . It’s for people that can’t live without the F - Bomb and think it’s an acceptable substitute. But at least it starts with an F , like fingerprint . | |
| Recent upgrade to Cronus Magnum Hi, my 2 pennies worth . I have a Rogue pre . My close friend that lives nearby is a former Rogue Dealer . He has a Chronus Magnum II in his office . A Rogue Hera pre with M180’s in his main system. So I’m familiar with their sound. I am thinking ... | |
| Would this be a good starter system for streaming? My starter was a Schiit Bifrost and my kids discarded laptop , with a $30 Audioquest cable. My current budget system consists of a better computer , a Schiit Yiggy , and a Cardas Clear Cable . I would say it’s a solid Class B contender. Happy Lis... | |
| Diminishing Returns I’m amazed at the different responses a small statement can generate . Having met Richard on this site , after he contacted me on the instant message feature . We exchanged thoughts on tube rolling . Richard and I have exchanged tubes on loan, fro... | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! So is your pre section of the Rogue totally bypassed ? If not NOS Telefunkens are fantastic . On the cheap, 1 in the middle and nos Tungsram or RCA for the other 2. You can find some nice power cords in the $100-200 range. So get a couple that hav... | |
| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 Not my thread , but streaming a laptop to a Schiit Yiggy via a Cardas Clear USB . Considering the Node 2i , but also the Project Stream Box Ultra S2. Cable choice made a huge difference . Looking forward to what you do, please post . Regards, Mi... |
