NOS EL34 becoming extinct
Try to find some Svetlana Winged C’s. Last I saw they were $100 Ea. They are fabulous. I trade tubes with a friend and he loaned me some Winged C 6L6, they were really nice too ! He’s a guitar guy , not a stereo fan. He stocked up on NOS Mullard F... 
Pre Amp Question. Old or New?
Call Rogue on the phone and talk to Bill. He has the 100 Dark paired with small Maggie’s and loves it. I did not inquire as to which pre he has. He commented that the Dark upgrade on the 100 made a huge difference. I have the RP-1 with the absolut...

Sound quality differences in streamers
Ah the old computer phrase “ It’s only X’s and O’s. The power supply makes a difference, the clock makes a huge difference, and there’s noise rejection. Even cables make a difference. I have a nice resolving Mid Fi setup and I can tell a huge diff... 
Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ?
  Sorry but I have to call BS that tube rolling doesn’t matter. I have 3 pairs of new production JJ12AU7’s in my never going to use drawer. Within those JJ’s I have the plain and the gold pin. I just spent $3K to have my Rogue M-180’s brought up t... 
Speaker choice without need for deep bass
The Acoustic Zen Adagio Jr would meet your requirements but not your price point. However there’s a pair on EBay from an estate sale with damage to the enclosure on one of them. And since it’s an estate sale have they been tested ? They look a bit... 
Beginner in the Audiophile World – Looking for Streamer & Streaming Service Advice
Hi , I have both Tidal and Qbuz, both are good but I use Tidal more and Siri supports it. I went from a laptop to the Project Stream Box Ultra II, then to the Innuos Pulse Mini with LPS. I use Cardas Clear and Starlight Platinum for usb. The Proje...

Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
@steakster Hannah was bad ass ! And he’d do it with a smile. I live in central California. Back in the day I saw Kenny Robert’s and the gang at Laguna Seca, Bruce Penhall win the world speedway finals at the LA Coliseum. Springstead at San Jose an... 
Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
@jbuhl , Nice bike ! Father Time caught up with me. Sold my two motorcycles, gave away 3 pairs of Volkl’s, my carbon road bicycle is a wall ornament. My stereo has gone from a luxury to a necessity. Starting to build a larger system and trying to ... 
Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
@996turbo911 , Thank you for the tip, I will check it out. BTW , you have a nice car. My favorite is the 917-10 that I watched Mark Donahue drive. My buddy took a pic of me helping Al Holbert push the Lowenbrau 962 into the garage at Riverside. I’... 
Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
  As I’ve demonstrated in this thread I’m not that knowledgeable about platforms. I have a few random pieces one being a Project Stream Box Ultra II and the other a Cambridge DAC Magic 200M. MQA was still functional on Tidal and I used the pair to... 
Is my Dynaco Stereo 400 worth repairing for resale?
@jasonbourne71 Southwest Technical Products is certainly a blast from the past. I was 16 years old and upgraded from a Dynaco SC35 to a pair Mk III’s. I built a STP preamp kit that had push buttons. Did they have a connection Texas Instruments?
