| Hum in my system; its the turntable R and L interconnects. Huh? Could you eliminate the power ground by using a cheap 2 prong wall adapter. Or use an extension cord to power the TT from another circuit ? | |
| Help me mod my tube amp Hi , it looks like the conversation has split into 2 directions. One about modding your amp, and the other regarding tube rolling. I don’t have your amp, but here’s my thoughts. Better signal tubes will improve the SQ, but they’re expensive and yo... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? In my modest system I use MFSL - Supertramp Crime of the Century and Pink Floyd DSOTM, because I like that type of music. I also will use Chris Isaak material because of the way it’s recorded. I particularly like his cover of Orbison’s “ Only the ... | |
| Which tubes to buy Greetings , I have Rogue gear but here’s my experience over the last 2 weeks. I sent a pair of M-180’s back to Rogue for a repair and upgrade to the “ Dark “ level. The fee for this was $2495 and comes with new signal tubes ( 3 per amp ). They no... | |
| How stereo changed our lives. That was cool, thanks. If I’m not mistaken music was mixed for our stereo needs and another version was mixed specifically for AM radio. | |
| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? If I may ask an additional question, I’m not trying to hijack your thread. Of the NOS Mullard 12AX7 tubes , is there much ( any? ) difference in the sound characteristics of the sound. I just picked up a pair of tube mono blocks and they each take... | |
| New Rogue RP-7 Preamp I’ve had the Rogue RP-1 for years and currently have the Hera. I’ve rolled about 8 different pairs in the RP-1. The stock JJ’s were my least favorite. I tried Mullards as mentioned above and it sounded like someone threw a blanket over my system. ... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s Good evening gentlemen, here’s the latest on the M-180’s. I sent them both to Rogue with a memo to repair/ upgrade/ retube/ return. That’s a lotta R’s 😆. Anyway I received a call yesterday and they were repaired. The one that malfunctioned had a b... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both so I don’t care about the never ending SQ comparison. That being said I do a lot of driving and use an IPhone connected with an Audioquest cable. Siri is not supported by Qbuzz, so that limits what I use outside of the house. | |
| Simple tube-use question Tektronix graded tubes came with either paper or foil stickers to identify them. I always left them on. Per your question I would remove the stickers but keep the info matched with the tube. Also keep in mind that most cleaners will remove any le... | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? I like my Innuos Pulse Mini with upgraded LPS. This replaced my Project Streambox Ultra II. I ran the Project with the provided wall wart and it’s not bad. I’m currently using it in my headphones system. Both of my streamers are hardwired. I use a... | |
| DAC break-in question Yes you can. And for me , I have a Schiit Yiggy which needs to be warmed up and I leave it on continuously unless I’m gone on vacation. | |
| Should speakers be upgraded before preamp and amplifiers? That’s quite a time capsule you have. I had the same receiver with a PL-19 with JBL 100’s in 1978. That being said, ans mentioned above find the speakers you like and then choose an amp that compliments them. At your price point I would consider a... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks I was in this position and I experienced an improvement. I have a pair of 15 amp circuits that have Hubble duplex outlets. All my equipment uses upgraded 15 amp power cords. I installed a Richard Gray power conditioner that came with a very beef... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS Hi , I’m right there with you regarding ESS chipset. The Border Patrol DAC intrigues me too, what’s your budget ? Although I can’t give you a recommendation for R2R, I have been happy with Schitt DAC’s. I started with an Uber Analog Bifrost lon... |
