| Splitting Signal to Multiple DAC’s Correction- meant to say “when compared to active splitters” | |
| Splitting Signal to Multiple DAC’s @spatialking- Hello Robert- thank you for the response. When thinking about this early on I thought about giving this device a try. This is pricey but not outrageous when considered to other active splitters out there. FYI- just to clarify I wou... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? After a little reading and putting some more thought into this I’m realizing the reality of this (at least my reality!). As @mulveling first suggested- my system uses 4 different makes of tubes. A gang of 8 KT150 and 11 6H30’s. My DAC uses a coupl... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? @elliottbnewcombjr - thanks for the response- I’ll send you a pm with the short list of tubes | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @roxy54- Do you use an Audio Note DAC? If so- which model? | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? @mulveling- I hear you and thanks for the warning. My curiosity was driving my actions on this one- I had to know how long they would last. This confirmed that the recommended usage time of 2K hrs was accurate and from what I’ve learned here I’ll ... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? @elliottbnewcombjr - That sounds like good advice. Are there specific units you've had experience with for home use? BTY- the tubes I have are wasted! Stubborn me! I thought I'd try to see how far they could go but it's to the point where they won... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? Got it! I remember reading many posts some time ago where people were wondering whether that tube was compatible with amps designed for use with KT120’s. I was not aware that ARC had made the change. Thanks for the clarification on that- I bet it... | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback Hi Phil- I was just looking at the BDP 103 manual and there should be a coaxial audio output near the toslink output. This will allow the 2 channel audio to be sent from the internal dac to your preamp. Tried to send a screenshot from the manual ... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? @welcher- for some reason I thought the 75’s used KT-88 or 120’s, maybe those were the older models? (Or I may be just completely off base!) | |
| Distortion using OPPO 103 w Streaming and CD's, but not with DVD playback Phil- you mention using single ended rca’s for connections to the preamp- have you tried going coaxial to the preamp and switching the Oppo’s settings to coaxial out? I run this approach with my 105-D and adjust the internal volume control for m... | |
| Diffuser panel design - overrated? I’m in agreement with @emergingsoul up to a point. While it may not be rocket science there are methods of approach that can save you a lot of time and money. When changing to the space I use now I brought in an acoustic engineer to measure and ad... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? @welcher - that is really unfortunate and a little suspicious. I haven’t heard a Ref 75SE with KT-150’s, how has the presentation changed for you since moving to that tube? @decooney- Thank you for the suggestions sent. After noting the previou... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @td_dayton- check them out and let me know what you think! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Chuck Johnson “Balsams”- spacey pedal steel guitar! Next up will be Benoit Pioulard’s “Sylva”. Very interesting atmospheric recording using combined sources of instruments, voice, field recordings what seems to tape tricks. |
