| GIK alternatives Hi, I have 9 GIK panels. And they do their job well.I have been looking at bass traps. I emailed Mike yesterday. Got a quote in 2 hours. Upfront about it is a 5 to 8 wk wait. So many companies had the same issues. Just look at the grocery s... | |
| Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes! Western Electric said they put in equipment that allows them to make various types of tubes on the same factory equipment. Th should cut introduction time. I would think we could make good or better than old if we really put our mind to it. I h... | |
| Tweaks, money pit or real value? They're upgrades. That way it doesn't sound like I wasted my money or self justified. But the stuff I bought improved my system. Someone whispered "yeah right". Please don't rain on my parade. | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers The original poster is nowhere to be found,while others fight amongst themselves. We don't know much about his room. So I will cast a wide net of ideas. I messed around with my system for a couple years before I was satified with the sound. You... | |

| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? I have the Node 2i with PD Creative power supply upgrade. I felt this was a nice improvement. Bass, soundstage, transients, etc all better. Are some of you saying the ifi sounds better than an upgrade Node of any generation? | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity Mighty Sam McClain Keep on Movin' I use this as a test CD. Dynamics and soundstage are tops regardless of genre. | |
| Looking for “just good enuf” for garage man cave Powered speakers are an option. Bluetooth. Don't have a bunch of stuff getting dusty. | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 A Bluesound with updated power supply and a Topping D90 sounds good to me. The Raspberry Pi 4 gets good comments. An R2R DAC would be a substitute and different sound. Denafrips etc. | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? I haven’t followed the old brands but a SET all modern parts would be cool. An AR SP3 preamp. A Krell KSA50 rebuilt would be fun to try. I doubt if it sounds any better than my Pass XA25 | |
| Rate my system/advise Too bad you're not loaded up with a bunch of stuff to sell. LOL. So moving forward. Have you got the speakers positioned. Out in front of furniture etc. Subs would help. Takes load off amps. Not sure if a Parasound A21+ would work warm sound... | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? Bluesound 2i was all the rage a couple years ago. So got refurbished. $420 + Topping D90 $630 + PD Creative power supply. 132 coax 40. Cord $100. After the power supply upgrade is when it really shines. I did not get the Pardo LPS much more $$. I ... | |

| Need help picking my first tube amp I recently was thinking about a cheap tube amp. Caveat emptor. Design is a very loose term. One was wired as such that the tubes lit up but thats it. Not sure where the sound came from. As near as I can tell, there are a few good sounding one... | |
| The problem with streaming I was just thinking how album art, lyrics, production info, personnel. It was as much fun as listening to the album |
