| Speakers that are good with tubes Any speakers with 95dB or higher sensitivity. Have you already bought your "high power" tube amp? IMHO, tube amps perform best at low power and the high power amps are a compromise to try to accomodate less sensitive speakers. I know this is a ... | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house (resubmit) I've had 3 or 4 albums and a few songs disappear. I haven't figured it out. I stream through roon so the message I get is "this track is not availalble from Qobuz" or something like that. It seems wierd. One that I do miss is Gene Ammons The ... | |
| Advise on buying electronics out of-the country Just to be clear, the gear I mentioned above was bought from and shipped from the countries mentioned. | |
| Has anyone kept the 6550 regulator tube past 2K hours in a ARC REF6? I’d say a very low percentage of tube amp users actually log hours. Most tubes are run to failure. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! OK. Now this thread has morphed to watching professionally recorded videos on youtube. I occasionally enjoy watching cool old videos of concerts I wish I had been at when I was in college but wasnt. I don't have a good way of hooking youtube ... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @curiousjim How dare you. I'm watching youtube on my 3/8" laptop speakers. | |
| Advise on buying electronics out of-the country I have bought amps from Austria, power supplies from Netherlands. components from GB, Bulgaria, and others. I often buy from Parts connexion and hificollective. Tubes from Ukrane and other ex soviet republics that I can't even spell. Never a pr... | |
| How long did you have to wait for Primaluna to deliver If this gives you an excuse to cancel and go with something else, I'd take it. | |
| Aurender N200 Streamer Compatibility with Deezer HIFI I originally had Tidal, Qobuz, and Deezer. Decided Deezer was my favorite and I cancelled the other 2. When I went to Roon, Deezer wasn't suported so I had to go to Qobuz. Don't care for Tidal. I don't like it that the success or failure of a ... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! After Noromance comments on this thread I wish there was a block feature on this site. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! And on facebook. When someone posts a video of their speakers I respond that they sound just like Laptop speakers to me. | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... Don’t think you are correct. My experience. I had a consumer rig then. I bought an $80 no-name cd player and it was a huge upgrade to my consumer turntable and tape deck. Never boght another piece of vinyl. Jerry | |
| Seeking DAC using the ESS ES9038PRO, but not a streamer Not sure why you are married to that chip. Looking at the list of DACS that westborn posted, I've heard some of those and was not impressed. In our price range I think you'lre better with FPGA DACs. But I realize that isn't the answer to your q... | |
| Requesting recommendations for simple and easy to use music streaming devices You hit the nail on the head with "easy to use". The main difference between quality streamers is the Human Machine Interface (HMI). I find some of them suck and some of them I like. It is a personal thing so it would be great if you could demo... |
