| Finally made the transition to a tube preamp! @crazybookman Look for some Amperex NOS 6922’s. There are several different ones out there and I found the PQ’s with the gold pins to sound excellent! All the best. JD | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? The Vatican rag is the first thing that comes to mind. Tom Lehrer has some fun songs. National Brotherhood week and The Masochism Tango are a couple more. | |
| The thing about objectivists is... I think I agree with this, but I’m going to have to read it a few more times. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Been reading this thread for a few days now and found some great leads on music I should check out. Who ever mentioned Cedar Walton, Thank you! Seasoned Wood is excellent! Listening to others albums now. JD | |

| Does upgrading you system have to be on a logarithmic curve? I look at it as something that grows with you. My first car was a well used ‘67 VW bug. I learned how to drive a stick on it and about car maintenance. My first stereo was a pair of mismatched mono amps and some speakers I built. I learned about e... | |

| Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini? @ozzy62 My bad, When I did the search again it was for a M1 not a U1. | |
| Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target! @jallan I also had DQ-10’s back in the day and really loved them! Having said that, they are kinda dated looking by today’s standards. All the best. | |
| stereo light @gsranch If the light never goes out, even when you are not using the tuner section (ie the turntable) there may be something wrong. But if you can’t hear anything different, then I would not worry about it. Does the manual say anything helpful... | |
| Will I see a big difference from my ifi zen blue to a denafrips ares 2 @byner Yes of course you will hear a difference, but you might want to refine your question to include what other equipment you have in your system and what you are looking to hear. | |
| Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini? @ozzy62 It’s looking like I might be following you. The U2 mini is $2400 and I’m seeing U1 mini for less than half of that. Wife loves Amazon Music, but I’m guessing she can be persuaded to Tidal or Qobuz. Thanks for your input. | |
| Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini? @ozzy62 So I have had the new Node N130 for five ish months and I’m already getting upgradeitis. For a few hundred, I can replace the power supply or for (insert dollar amount here) I can get? The U1 mini got a ton of good press and it was on m... | |
