| Has anyone tried these products? I haven’t emailed them yet to get any information and being only 1.5” thick, I’m guessing the absorption is limited. I also agree with @baylinor , that there’s probably no way they can absorb 95% of the sound. I’ll try to send them an email and s... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring Years ago, I replaced all the wires in a Dahlquist DQ-10’s, a 5 way speaker system. When all was said and done, I removed most of it because it didn’t sound as good. However, I did leave the 12 gauge wires to the woofers, because they made a very... | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? @inna That was one of the reasons I went with Hybrid stuff. I currently have PS Audio. The BHK preamp that uses two 12AU7’s and the mono blocks are currently using 6922’s. All of which can be affordable and last a fairly long time. My downstai... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 I’m not sure about the Cary, but even though they use tubes, Prima Luna is maybe the most solid state sounding line I have ever heard. What I have heard was using the tubes that came with the units, so tube rolling might help, but if you’re lookin... | |
| Does USB cable length make a diference? Interesting thread. I’ve heard that 1 1/2 meters is the best length for a USB cable, but I have never heard what to long is. I’ll be curious to hear the answer. | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? I just posted this on another thread and think it fits here as well. I’ve been listening, reading, building, selling, swapping and buying hifi since the early seventies and almost every move has been an upgrade, or at least a noticeable change. ... | |
| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? I’ve been listening, reading, building, selling, swapping and buying hifi since the early seventies and almost every move has been an upgrade, or at least a noticeable change. I will never stop reading and listening, but other than changing my DA... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I listened to Sonny & The Modern Jazz and didn’t get through the first song. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood or maybe it just sounded like more of the Modern Jazz Quartet, I don’t remember, but I’ll give it another try later. Th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Oh, sorry. I have heard the rest of the albums on your list and I listened to Sonny and Hawk, Frredom Suite, Moving Out and Newk’s Time yesterday. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuarti I’m listening to Plus 4 now and have never heard The Bridge, so I’ll put it on next. As always, Thank you for your suggestions. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Todays a Sonny Rollins day. I’ve listened to three albums already and the days still young. Any suggestions for the next album? | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have Qobuz and Amazon and depending on your musical preferences, they cover pretty much everything. I will say that Qobuz has a better software, they sound pretty close to my ears. Your Ears Might Very.😀 | |
| A question about tube rolling Tubes are a commodity and are subject to supply and demand and of course, greed! They have become a buyer beware market item, so unless you see the tubes on the testing machine, I’d stick with trusted dealers like Brent Jesse. All the best. | |
