| Newbie needs Streamer Advise Thanks David , that was a thought as I posted the text . Other than cost , does length matter ? I have an Apple TV that I could try that with too . Thanks for the link . | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise FWIW, I upgraded from a Bifrost Uber to the Yiggy . I looked real hard at the Mytek Brooklyn DAC +. I get pretty decent sound from my laptop . I have a Morrow didital Coax into the Yiggy from the Musical Fidelity’s CD . The computer with Tidal sou... | |
| Does a tube need the break-in hours? I’m having trouble understanding your question . If you have multiple failures with new Tubes that have been stored , it sounds like your amp needs service . Some of the newer Manley’s have changed Tube values due to Tube availability . While pow... | |

| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems Hi , thanks for sharing . My Had Inspire came with the same tube . I’ve had zero issues with mine . I did have a new production GL KT-77 , with about 100 hours let go . I didn’t blow a fuse , I blew 2 caps and a resistor and the explosion broke a ... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? So I took my 6 foot California King out of his cage today. I didn’t get any oil , but he deficated on my shirt . And I’ve stood toe to toe with Charles Manson . He is ( was ) a skinny, whiny little Ditch Bank Okie . He spent his life in protecti... | |

Are you satisfied with the Gumby ? I listen to Tidal and a few CD’s . Second , with what I have now , Gumby or... | |
| Let's talk power cords I pondered this question too . What I did was go to a web site and click buy . Then when the little box opened up , I clicked “ 4 “. Then I clicked check out with Pay Pal . When they came , I hooked them up . That was last year , I still have t... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Ditto to Wolf’s opinion of the 12 wpc Inspire . ABSOLUTLY amazing . But what really blew me away was Dennis ! 6 weeks ago , I was playing a new matches pair of Gold Lion KT-77’s ( 150 hrs ). I heard a pop , then another , fairly mild . Shut my stu... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? , that’s a Big Question . It feels like I’m trying to arm wrestle an octopus 🐙. So in regards to just your present system . I run a modest price Rogue RP-1, that was a cost driven purchase . This pre uses a pair of 12au7’s . I also have quality... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? Hi , this is great stuff . Question to the Horn Guys , you’re way above my skill level , so please share . Do the high quality horn systems move the air with the authority of underhung voice coils and massive power ? My experience is limited , but... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? Wow thanks for the info . Glad I didn’t mention ZZ Top or Green Day “ American Idiot Tour “. As far as “ Crime of the Century” , if you want to see a system stumble , play it LOUD ! BTW , I saw” Dark Side Of The Moon “ at the Cow Palace in SF , m... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? Hi, I’m looking forward to your findings. Wish #4 , certainly throws a huge curve ball ! Anyway , I heard a friends system, Westlake BBSM-15’s bi amped with a pair of Bryston 4BSST’s . He picked up an almost dead pair from a studio that had shut d... | |
