| Inexpensive Tube Amps It’s so easy for people to look down upon audiophiles that are new or have a minimal budget . In the price range you listed , avoid circuit boards . Also get something that uses common tubes that you can keep for a better amp when you move on . Ge... | |
| speakers with balls Interesting thread . I own Zu Omens, JBL 4312a’s that are pristine on Sound Anchor stands and Klipsch Heresy III’s . I love my Zu’s . I had a Modwright KWI 200 paired with the JBL’s and it was too dry . The JBL’s come to life with tubes at about 1... | |
| Rogue RP 1 or Super Magnum 99 Hi , I’ve had the RP-1, for about 18 months . I changed the 2 tubes to medical grade Telefunkens and upgraded the power cord . I’m only running Tidal and a transport through a Schiit Yiggy . I am satisfied with its performance after upgrading the ... | |
| Question for tube aficionados One word “ TELEFUNKEN “! I have NOS 12AU7’s ( E82CC, ECC82) in Telefunken , Tesla, Seimens , Mullard , RCA, Tungsram . They all are better than new stuff . They have distinct tonal differences . I use 5 different NOS rectifier tubes which raise or... | |

| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Oh oh , I wanna play too . But I’m stuck in a world of SCHIIT ! I’m so butthurt that I’m going back to my Layfayette 8 Track recorder . Don’t get mad at each other guys . People on the sidelines that are limited to a couple G’s for a DAC need to l... | |
| Tube recomendations for a newbie Good Question . Absolutely change the tubes . Brent Jesse’s site gives a very accurate description as to what different driver tubes sound like . Ive never owned your speakers, or amp . At one time I had an Anrique Sound Labs 30 wpc integrated and... | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise @mattmiller , Today I pulled the Monster power out . I also installed two Orange Hubbell 20 amp outlets . Just put everything back together . I need to let it warm up for a full day before I do any critical listening . My Richard Grey 600S arrive... | |

| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini Hi guys , thanks for the info. I’m looking at Aries Mini vs Bluesound Node2 to purchase . I’m currently using a laptop via usb to a Schiit Yiggy ( prior was a Bifrost ). Rogue Pre, Had Inspire, Zu Omen . I want clarity vs warm but not too bright .... | |
| DAC recommendation Hi , In your price range, I would recommend a Schiit Bifrost Uber Analog . It’s an earlier version lacking Multibit . The Uber version will ad a usb out , giving you a choice to switch between 3 different sources . I has a pair of RCA outs. This w... | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method Great stuff gentlemen, my experience was this . I purchased 2 pr. of Morrow MA5 RCA’s recently. Due to being on vacation at time of shipping , Mike just left my cables on the break in station longer . They received 11 days straight . So using my f... | |
| Getting into tubes Hi, My name is Mike and I’m a Tube Addict ! It started with a little Dynaco when I was 14. I tried to stop , but I couldn’t . I went to SS rehab for about 15 years , but I relapsed. Now I’m 60 years old and I hide tubes from my wife . Some days I ... | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? Congrats on your Omens. I too have a pair . I’m running a Schiit Yiggy to a Rogue RP-1 to a Had Inspire SEP. I have Klipsch Heresy II’s and KG1.5’s in the closet. The Omens smoke them both even with a sub. Also have JBL 4312A’s but currently lac... | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise Ok guys , I’ve received some great advise . So let’s say I bump up to $1000-2000, for something new . My disc player only plays CD’s . Matt’s suggestion on the Oppo 105 is sinking in . It is Tiday ready and wireless . It also gives me SACD and a g... |
