| I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot @roxy54 , #1 He doesn’t have the right amp for that speaker (not to mention a whack a doodle hummer for the ’small price’ of only 16k!)...could be that he went tubes after the Magico started brutalizing ears. Nevertheless, the magico needs seriou... | |
| I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot Huh? 16000 dollars for this humming junk?! (I just looked it up). Return quickly to botcher Roger and get your money back. Thereafter, get some smooth liquidy class A solid state Pass Labs to keep that Magico well behaved. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! There is no such thing as "end game" for speakers. There are just way too many designs with all kinds of sound signatures at various pricepoints...all with their strengths and weaknesses at any pricepoint. There are a whole bunch of models release... | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college The Yamaha R-N800A would be a better buy/all in one solution (1200 bucks) for a kid going to college at half the price of that Cambridge. The Yamaha is a Class AB grunt that can drive any speaker he’s gonna haul without breakin a sweat.... clean ... | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." A good treated room can cost many thousands of dollars. But the thing is, even if you spend tens of thousands building your room with all the acoustic treatments with the right dimensions, a cheap stereo will still sound cheap. False.... A purp... | |

| Magnetar I now own a Magnetar UDP 900. It is a real boat anchor. The transport is eons faster than anything else on the market and as a music transport is all you could ask for. I can’t speak to the DACs as I do not use them. What really sets it apart is ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Dude, every recording you own has already gotten eq'd out the wazoo. There is no "purity" in any recording you heard in life. So, feel free to eq until your ears are pleased. Some sasso headed mastering technician doesn't get to decide what should... | |
| Luxman D03X vs D10X If someone already has a D03x and is looking to move up the luxman chain, I would recommend cross-shopping with something like the TAD D1000/mk2 in a similar price bracket. Brands like Luxman try to implement/retain a certain type of house sound a... | |

| Is it worth it? DAC question That works when I play through my MacBook. When i disconnect the cable from my MacBook and connect it to the Node---nothing. I was beginning to think the Zen Dac wasn’t working but it works fine with my computer, just not the Node. About to give ... | |
| A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby If your like the warmer/fuller sound, you are pretty much stuck with the Gungnir/Yggdrasil line of Schiit dacs. Even the cost no object MSBs, Esoterics, Vermeers, etc, will sound anemic to you, i.e., you are done, i.e., you have your "end game". ... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Looking for cables that may add some "weight" to the following system. Decware 300b tube amp (8watts), Klipsch Forte IV, Holo May Dac, PS Audio BHK Pre with 12AU7 input tubes. My room is 20X12, not treated, vaulted ceiling, fair amount of glass. ... | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? SVS rca interconnects --> warm/thick sound with admirable detail retrieval/noise mitigation (same goes for their speaker cables, xlrs, etc)...There is no beating SVS cables on a 100 dollar budget if you like that type of sound. |
