| Looking for vintage system suggestions (maranta, klipsch, etc...) To Argonsteele - Great input , thanks. I didn't want to get long winded earlier , plus you were asking about vintage SS.

| Seems like any equipment in a metal case is protected from rfi You could also consider Stillpoints ERS shielding sheets . 11x8 for $25, at Music Direct . Lay a couple on your equipment and see if you can tell a difference . Then attach in a semi permanent manner. Also when my sound is too tight , I switch f... | |
| Integrated Amp Upgrade-itis hitting.... Hi , interesting discussion . I don't have a solution, just some rambling thoughts . When I changed amps , it was to get more power in SS or go to tubes . I think Chayro's spot on about source . I use Tidal over CD's. But I would recommend looking... | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp Hi , how about the Schiit Jotenheim ? $ 399 , I know it’s twice $200. Add a DAC for a hundred . It sounds great and really shines when you add a balanced cable to your headphones . My point is this , Great little pre , Good DAC and Outstanding b... | |
| Tidal free trial subscription Hi , sorry to hear about your experience . I've been using Tidal for about 18 months . They lack artists like Bob Seger, Metallica ( Big Surprise 😆). Many of the classic rock bands I listen to , have their catalogs butchered . Missing entire album... | |
| Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14? Hi , I have the Rogue RP-1.

I haven't tried the phono stage , and the headphone stage is not t... | |
