| Which device makes for a better digital music source? Computer or streamer? I went from node to a dedicated NUC computer to stream via roon. I then tried an Allo USBridge sig streamer. While sound seems to be slightly better, then more enjoyable improvement is seamless streaming. Never does the streamer fail to deliver... | |

| Can anyone identify this inductor? I've got the parts but they were slow to arrive and now I'm in the vacation season so I haven't done the work yet. I'm chaning all the inductors in my crossovers to wax/foil inductors. Some existing are iron core, some are not. Replacements ar... | |
| Tube Integrated Under 1,500 Let us know how this goes. My thought is that this is a poor speaker choice for a tube system. I know you are just going with what you have. But my opinion is that buying a higher powered tube amp is a compromise. "Tube magic" happens more at... | |
| Old guy needs recommendation request for old CD players / DAC An old CD player has a $50 dac built into it with old technology. So long as they have a digital out to sent to a new DAC, they will work ok for a transport. | |

| Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers. I have the Ayon Spark Delta which is a 35wpc SET with dual 6c33Cs. My speakers are 96dB and it is way more than I need, in fact I'm currently listening to a 6 wpc SET instead. I think both the Spirit and the Spark Delta would be plenty to drive... | |
| Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers. I am familiar with primaluna and Ayon. I have an Ayon amp now, I would say the sound of ayon is clean, defined, and crisp with great soundstage. I would put it a level above Primaluna. Jerry | |
| Best way to determine shipping charges I print my own shipping labels and save at least 50% over what most sellers charge. I just shipped an 88lb amp for $65. I self insure. If you package well, you will never have a claim. I always price things shipped. That makes it much easier ... | |

| Results with Audioquest Niagara 5000 / Dragon HC I loaned my PSaudio PP10 to a friend with who has modded and tuned his system amost to perfection. It is a low power tube system and the amp has an awesome power supply. He has had the PP10 a week and isn't sure he likes it. Very similar to wha... | |
