| Current Universal Players You're right that the universal disc player is becoming a dying breed. One current option is the McIntosh MVP-901, although I'm not sure if it does HDCD. | |
| Hint: Change your Wi-Fi frequency to avoid interference with neighbors router bjp9738 ... if you have Comcast Xfinity and use their Wi-Fi router, those settings are locked down. The only way to change it, that I know of, is to do a full reset ... The best solution with Comcast is to dump its equipment and buy your own... | |
| How long should speaker cables be? How long should speaker cables be? To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, long enough to reach the amplifiers. | |
| New Project RS2T transport I'm really sorry for your experience @robshaw and it brings to mind a similar one I had decades ago. It was at a dealer where I did a lot of business and we had a SNAFU with a product where it was one problem after another. "Maybe we need to do so... | |
| Cablebox Audio Out to DAC inputs and other options ? I'm not recommending this specific unit, but something like this is what I use. The cable box's HDMI out goes to the switcher, then one output goes to the TV (for video) and another to the DAC. It looks like your DAC lacks an HDMI input, but you ... | |
| Wadia 521 Remote Any of the Logitech Harmony remotes will work with Wadia. They've recently been discontinued but you still might be able to find one new. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century deutscherhififan ... Mick sent a wood version instead of the black unit I ordered ... The unit also has a loose or defective power tube socket as one of the 300Bs is very, very wobbly once inserted. It’s not what you ordered and it’s defecti... | |
| Connecting dual subwoofers to a stereo preamp What you’re doing isn’t clear to me, but it looks like you’re combining the left and right channels together at the amplifier output to create a mono signal for your sub. Is that correct? If so, the problem I see is that most amplifier and preampl... | |
| 3k Phono preamp upgrade options (JC3+, XP-17, etc) mijostyn ... The JC3+ is relatively inexpensive because it is manufactured in Taiwan. If it was made here in the US it would cost easily three times as much and would not be built as well ... You might want to look under the hood o... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? bezmania ... the CD player sounds substantially better than the Qobuz FLAC at the same sample rate. Beter soundstage, better definition. How? Why? If i assume that Qobuz doesn’t f*ck up the ripping proces, why is there such a difference... | |
| Can an ARC VM220 be upgraded to KT 150 Tubes? I think it unwise to substitute any tube without first checking with the manufacturer or its authorized dealer. | |
| Basis Syncro-Wave Power Supply rsf507 Agree with larryi above speed once set should stay unless your ac fluctuates during different times of day especially if everyone is using lots of electricity given the heat wave most of the country is currently in. High electric use ... | |
| Reliable source Psvane CV181-T MKII There is no "Russian tube ban," although some corners of the media have used the Russia crisis for clickbait. Here’s the news direct from New Sensor. I also have first-hand knowledge that ARC is receiving all the tubes it needs from New Sensor, w... | |
| Phono Stage Amp boxcarman Lots of phono stages do not put out the same level as other components. So you have to turn up your amp to get the same loudness. Which is taxing on the amp. No, that doesn’t tax the amplifier. The amount of work an amplifier does ... | |
| Reliable source Psvane CV181-T MKII r042wal Russia no longer exports tubes in retaliation for the sanctions You are mistaken. The Russian Sovtek factory is owned by a US company and has not been subject to sanctions. |
