| Is there such a thing??-- Tube Preamp Question Hi birdfan,While I can’t speak about your specific equipment, I can say a bit about tubes. EH makes at least two models of 6922’s and they both should last you for years. The 7308’s are the Cadillac of the 6DJ8‘s tubes and therefore are priced ... | |
| what would you do? labguy,Have you tried plugging the ports with something like a dish towel? It will definitely reduce the bass.All the best.JD | |
| If you still spin CDs, this may be the cost no object best option. Wow, I’d love to hear this setup! And if money was no object, the Kalista spinner and DAC would be on my test drive list.All the best.JD | |
| Favorite Miles Davis release Miles Smiles or Kind Of Blue have my vote.JD | |
| What’s the best SACD you’ve ever heard? Thanks hifiman5, I will.mcondo, I’m actually excited to hear that the first BS&T is on SACD. The vinyl is good but the cd is really noisy. I’ll be on the lookout for it. Thanks.JD | |

| Best mid priced Amp-Preamp +1 with tomcarr,The Freya preamp is pretty darn good for the cost and it leaves you enough for a Vincent, Adcom or Schitt amps/amps.All the best.JD | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... On another side, I went to a garage sale a few weeks ago and bought about 1100 CD’s for $150.00. After I went through them, I ended up keeping about 125 and giving the rest to a friend who does the flea market thing. If I get a bottle of Jim Beam... | |

| Sorry to ask this SACD question, but Hi jafant, I have everything working and then had family in for the last couple weeks. No listening time at all! Still have one in town, but I should have more time soon.Thanks for asking.JD | |
| Amp for nee LRS Maggies I’m definitely looking forward to hearing the LSR’s and I agree a pair of Vidars would be the perfect amount of power, but wouldn’t you also need a couple of subwoofers also?JD | |
| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... Seeing as this tread has deteriorated again into questions about the last four feet, Voodoo and the like, I have a question.Does anyone just unplug their systems when the weather person says severe and storms in the same sentence? Just curious.JD | |
| Sorry to ask this SACD question, but glupson, It’s funny now that I finally got the Oppo to play SACD’s I can set it on DSD or PCM and they both sound the same. Is that supposed to happen or is it my hearing going?JD | |
| Sorry to ask this SACD question, but uberwaltz,So I'm just finishing my third cup and I have unplugged the Toslink and the Digital RCA from the Oppo and I am still happily listening to the stereo layer. I'm guessing something was stuck with the Optical hardware, but I'm not an expert... | |
| Sorry to ask this SACD question, but So last night I hooked a Sony to a smart tv with HTMI and Optical out to a receiver. I played the SACD stereo layer. I hooked up the Oppo the same way and it also played the SACD stereo layer.Than I did something I hadn’t tried before, I plugged ... |
