| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound I stream from a windows laptop through a Cardas Clear USB, to a Schiit Yiggy . I haven’t experienced the problems mentioned . The Cardas Cable Made a noticeable difference over an Audioquest Cinnamon. I have a Musical Fidelity’s transport that was... | |
| Grimm findings on streaming audio I’m sad to hear laser is going away . Guess I’ll just stick to my TT and magnetic tape ( I prefer chrome ) . Just kidding , don’t get hurt . Thanks for the info . I’ve sampled the 360* on Tidal and found it horrible , especially through my headpho... | |
| SET vs Class A vs tubes vs Class AB amps Great stuff, shared with knowledge and respect , thanks . I ran a Modwright KWI 200 and JBL 4312A’s or Klipsch Heresy II’s with a sub. I then ran a vintage Marantz or a Sansui 9090 with the same speakers ( on 26” Sound Anchors ). Now I’m running ... | |
| Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob! I run a Windows laptop via a Cardas Clear USB to a Schiit Yiggy . The Yiggy has a Wireworld Power Cable and isolation feet . I’m at the point where I am sure my laptop is the weak link, especially in regards to clocking . I’m considering the Bl... | |
| Budget Tube Amp (newbie) +1 for the Rogue . Also for Dynaco , but I’d opt for the Bob Latino ST-120. This amp will handle KT-120’s , but you won’t need that much power . Between Rogue , Dynaco , or whatever , run NOS driver and modern power tubes . Also your Yamaha has ... | |
| Wow! Hard to believe how Good this sounds! Does the wind really blow ? Or is it pulled by pressure change ? There is nothing I enjoy more after being away than a low volume , late night , home alone listening session . We get to enjoy the fruits of our efforts ! Thanks for a moment of a... | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? The bottom line is “ You won’t know until you try it “. However , I went down this Rabbit Hole with a 30wpc integrated and speakers that needed 40 watts , but were more at home with 200. In my scenario it sounded fairly nice , but couldn’t play lo... | |
| can someone answer me this..... Try NOS Telefunken E88CC’s . I use both 12AU7’s and 6922’s . I have nos Telefunkens, Seimens , Amperex . Including the CCa’s and Silver plates . The Telefunken E88CC , is the most linear and flat across the spectrum . The Seimens is close and th... | |
| GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED... +1 to Chris Isaac recordings . My disappointment is with the Moody Blues and Billy Holiday recordings . But may I ask this , I’m currently digital only Tidal to R2R to tube pre and tube amp . When I get back into TT , wil... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers Hi , my .02 . Hi currently have Klipsch Heresy II’s and JBL 4312a’s . Both are between Lousy and Mediocre. I bought them on a Vintage kick , like you’re doing . The Jbl ‘s Sound pretty decent with about a hundred tube watts per Chanel . One mem... | |
| Best budget preamp for my entry level system? Paint me stupid , but I like their sound . Maybe others do too ! | |
| Best budget preamp for my entry level system? Greetings , I too have Zu Omens, and would recommend Schiit products . I have a Bifrost, Yiggy , and the Loki . I chose the Rogue RP-1 for a pre . But by the time you get a power cord and NOS 12AU’7’s , it’s too expensive . I rotate a Dennis Ha... | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? Cool thread , the Old Japanese amps rock . I have receivers, as I enjoy the aesthetics more . I have a Sansui 9090, Sansui 7070, Marantz 2223B. The lower powered Marantz pairs very well with my Zu Omens and Klipsch KG 1.5’s . The Sansui 7070 is pa... | |
| Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier Hi , I have played with the lower level Rogue RP-1. I’ve changed the cord and added isolation dampeners, and placed 2 brass weights on top . I have rolled numerous tubes and prefer medical grade Telefunkens. But depending on which power amp I’m fe... | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? My #1 pick are Telefunken smooth plates . Also Brent Jesses Tube Sound description is spot on . Also “ Missioncoonery “ is wrong . I have for rotation RCA, Mullard , Seimens CCa , Seimens silverplate, Amperex , Phillips , Telefunken ( smooth , rib... |
