How Big of a Difference?
To answer your question, based on my personal experience, Yes cables make a difference.  For the sake of comparison, I run Tidal on a crappy old Windows based laptop. This feeds a Schiit Yiggy ( Gen 1 ), to a Rogue pre and a Had Inspire. My speake... 
amplifier longevity
      Here’s my 2 cents , based on my experience.   First heat is the enemy, all amplifiers need proper ventilation. I’ve added fans to setups that generate high heat. Tubes are a wear item , especially power tubes and degrade over time. So you WI...

Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max
  Greetings Hilde, I bet the Rockies are beautiful right now. I’ve followed you since your previous thread and your trial of the VanAlstine. So here’s my random thoughts. First having single ended output is definitely a consideration. If you purch...

Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp
     What is “ Nazi “ gear ?  
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
 “ I Feel bad for Gen - X er’s “. It sounds more like “ I need to put you down, so I can feel good” . But you probably had to walk to school both ways uphill through the snow . I was Driving down Highway 99 last Thursday from Fresno to Kingsburg w...
