Anybody else notice...
Been going on for a months.  It seemed to happen when the forum banned some trouble makers.  We are all here to learn and enjoy our hobbies.  Thank you for the advise my ears appreciate it.  
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
I currently have a VTA SP12(bob latino) It is currently running passive buffer with 12AU7 Tungsol. All it takes is change one wire and I could have active. It has remote volume, but I doubt it’s anything special.  @ozzy what is your definition of ... 
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
I think I have a good example of when a passive pre works.  100 dB speakers  PASS XA25 with 20dB of gain.  1.25V will run the amp at full power.  The lowest active preamp I could find was 5dB.  Even now with this passive setup at times I only need... 
Audio nonsense
I hope you guys get it off your chest before dinner with your wife tonight.  A person who owns a system and listens to it regularly should know how it sounds.  And you know better than them?  I want that tweek, especially since most of the naysaye... 
Do you trust your system?
I trust my system more than my cats.  They like to run behind the system and pull wires loose. Since LPS are way in the past for me, I am streaming. I got my system.  Flying solo since I don't have a local dealer.  The good thing was I found goo... 
Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II
I’ve had a refurbished Node 2i for 2 years. I added a Topping D90 and liked it. I also use COAX. A couple other improvements I made: Make sure volume is set to fixed or max on both Node and DAC and use your preamp for volume control.. I added th... 
A** Kicking, Rock and Roll!
Still laughing about Adele.  Sooo 2010s Black Sabbath War Pigs Lots of Zeppelin LCD Soundsystem Yeah, Yeah Yeah(Crass Version).  Starts a little slow but builds and builds.  
Any tweaks I'm missing?
Bought springs for speakers and subwoofers.  Upgraded power supply to Bluesound.  Bought Audioman58 purifier.  All three add up to great improvements.  Better bass, better soundstage, in a nutshell WAY better.  Might buy a ifi Silent Power for my ... 
Best streamers WITHOUT a DAC
SBooster makes an  adapter for Lumin that allows you to hook up a LPS.  I upgraded the power supply on my Node 2i and it made lots of improvement.  I used a PD Creative board.  They also make Power Supply improvement for U1 mini.. Might affect war... 
Upgrade Reccomendations
Some ideas Speakers:  big open baffles or planer speakers will not work in that small room.  You like EDM so efficient speakers are a good idea.  Klipsch Forte and a couple subs ~8000.  There are other efficient speakers but these are the smaller... 
GO CHIEFS !!
Mahomie has looked off a couple games this year. Yesterday was one of them.  Joe Burrow still proving to Ohio. State that they should have kept him.  Matthew Stafford is glad his team doesn't suck anymore.  Tom almost did it again.  Ben Roflisberg... 
your first system-
1981? Sony V-fet integrated, Polk Audio 7, Pioneer turntable and Shure cartridge., complete with lamp cord and red and white RCAs. I think the vfet was 125 watts but I blew it up twice anyway.  
Whats playing on your system today?
Jean Michael Jarre:  Electronica 2: The Heart of Noise.    
Underpowered?
The first thing to do is if you have standard wires, you will need a jumper if there is 4 posts and you have 2 wires to connect( plus and minus) Second, play some music walk around the room.  Do you hear boomy bass in some places and none in othe... 
preamplifier after preamplifier?
I forgot to mention, or ask a question.  The first preamp has gain.  Feeding that to the second preamp, is that too much gain in the end?
