| Your method for discovering great music. Finding new music is a journey. I find myself trying the music used in equipment reviews doing internet searches for the best "music type" and I even find music used it movies and TV shows. If you are into female vocals one of the best resourc... | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? The best I've ever heard were plasma at the CES show 40 years ago. They were that memorable. The AMT tweeter with a SET amp are pretty magical | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Long story short(ish) I own the Decware SE84UFO amp that uses 6P15P-EV, SV83 or EL84 tubes. Ebay sells the Tesla EL83 tube as a SV83 (which it isn't). Without the adapter the EL83 doesn't work (different pin configuration) but with an inexpensi... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? For a large room if you have corners available Corner Horns are fantastic and on the used market a real steal. The other bonus is they are out of your living space but fill the whole room with sound. If you want more Volti has a driver / crossov... | |
| component grounding One of the most cost effective sound improvements I've made to my system was using a two to three prong cheater plug on my amp and dac. I previously lived for thirty years in a house that only had two prong reciprocals. I'm still here. On your ... | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... I have a problem understanding % of sound quality improvement. Improvement is binary it's either better or it isn't. Its also personal what sounds better to you doesn't mean I will agree with your assessment. So if the difference is miniscule t... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? speakers made of lead. | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... Wait??? You’re comparing dacs thru the dac you already own. Unless the quality of your dac is actually better than the ones being demoed how would you know? What is your definition of value? Are you talking merely dollars or the importance of so... | |
| when did it all get so complicated? To run Tidal on a Volumio RPI you need to subscribe to the Volumio Service. Spotify you can use the free version. Tidal does sound slightly better but Spotify has more selection at a lower cost. The other option is to purchase a dedicated pc to c... | |
| WE 300B tubes you could check craigslist and purchase a tube tester for not a whole lot of money. If your dad had more tubes it would more than pay for itself. | |
| DAC du jour Saw a MHDT Toucan on ebay. Nothing about it on the MHDT site. Description English was a little off on the translation. I'd be a little leary until I contacted MHDT to confirm. | |
| DAC du jour +1 @grinnell 6922 adapter better option than the upgraded we 5670 Love mine | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Another option is el83 with an el83 to el84 adapter. They are very similar tubes with a different pin configuration | |
| Describe your preference in a single sentence Once you hear it you'll realize what was missing, until then you just don't know what you just don't know. | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” I am pretty deluded and very disappointed but not with my HIFI. I've been to two Los Lobos concerts the first at the zoo (outside) was the second best I've ever attended. My most recent was the second worst I've ever attended. The sound guy mu... |
