| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Thanks for posting the Sonny Rollins links. Both were good and I subscribed to both of their channels. | |
| Rays Tubes A day doesn’t go by where I don’t see an ad for the tubes or the equipment they sell. I also tried to find out where their stuff was made and nobody will say for sure. Though they are very generous. You can get 5% off your first order! | |
| Unplated copper spades/banana Most all wire is copper. The difference between a gold plate does make a difference, but in the big scheme of things, the difference between a gold plate and naked copper is really really really small. Rather than having to polish the ends on all... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Hey @zlone I had a pair of KEF Reference 5’s that I never fully liked. The sounded very good, but very anaalog. The SF’s straight out of the box sounded warmer. I have about 25 hours on the new speakers and they are definitely changing for the b... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound Driver Issue Could it be the new software is designed to work with Win11? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk No, I did not. So I will start with it tomorrow. Hopefully the caps on the Hegel will be well on their way to like I remember. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Your memory is good. I went and bought a used PS Audio BHK preamp and a few weeks later, I bought a pair of PS Audio, BHK 300 amplifiers. All three pieces have a tube input section, so I have the ability to roll some tubes. Unfortunatel... | |
| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer @mesch For the price of the Iris, you can get a new Bluesound Node. As an all in one unit it is a good streamer with a good DAC and great software. I used one for years and the newer ones are even better. All the best. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @trivema I’ve thought about it, but haven’t. Mine is the original Pontus ll and besides some minor updates, the basic design is still the same. I’m gonna keep looking for now, but Maybe if a used one popped up, I might jump on it. Thanks. | |
| It’s true what they say/and a question @tomaswv I am so jealous. We have very few jazz venues around here. I’m listening to The Marcin Wasilewski Trio, January and I can only imagine hearing it live. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Listening to Star Wars, A New Hope soundtrack. John Williams never ceases to amaze me. |
