| Tubes, cheese, wine and cognac A few years ago I bought an ARC, SP9 mkll preamp. When I received it and hooked it up, I was very underwhelmed. Inside I found EH 6jd8 tubes. Long story short, I now have NOS Amperex PQ 6922’s from the 60’s and boy what a fabulous difference! | |
| Focal Sopra No 3 vs Goldenear Triton One.R I’ve heard the Triton ones and they were a lot of fun to demo. I can’t speak about the Focal 3 series. All the best. | |
| Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE @dinov You can rip SACD’s. You need either a Play Station 3 or one of a few older Sony CD players and some Linux software. I’ve done it on the few SACD’s that I own and it sounds great. | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. @jerryg123 That video was great and thanks for sharing. | |
| Cables to settle brightness Using cables to tame brightness isn’t going to work to change brightness! Period! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Peter Schickele, PDQ Bach. 1712 Overture. | |
| A different kind of (inexpensive) Audio accessory. I’ve been using them for years. Leaves your hands free for whatever you’re doing. | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. How long is that Oppo 205 that’s listed for $6500 going to be listed? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @ozzy, “Set me free, why don’t you Babe” I listen to them at least a couple times a year. Vanilla Fudge. Anybody remember them? | |
| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ I’ll never go see him in concert! There’s a few others I won’t see either. I’m paying to hear music and not anything else. Well maybe some dancing girls.😁 | |
| Don’t over power condition! @brandonhifi , How can a power conditioner cause a streamer to skip? Please explain? | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? I saw the video and might be interested. The way they isolate the d side from the a side without using optical cable is intriguing and I have a DAC with an I2S input, so the lack of USB won’t be a problem. I’d like to hear a review or three befor... | |
| Anybody help me unload all of this on Audiogon…. The Music Room is honest. They are in the business to make money, so they won’t give you the highest price, but things will go smoothly if you do business with them. | |
| What do you do when you inherit some gear that you don’t want. Anything bigger than a few pounds go FedEx and for the speakers, check out some common carriers. My speakers came on a pallet to my front door. | |
| Does creating a loom in cables in a system make a significant difference? I always thought a wire loom was a way to keep your wires neat and tidy, regardless of brand. |
