| Cartridges You’ll probably get more out of the high end vinyl, with a better cartridge. | |
| Ethernet cables I would have never thought that they’d make a difference but yes they do! I use Wireworld starlight 8 s at the connection to my node and from my NAS to the network connection and love them. Highly recommended. | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender I use an orbi mesh network and love it. For audio, I use a direct connection from the router to my node, broken by a fiber connection, which has a huge impact on audio. As for the wifi, portion it’s rock solid, but all my other nodes connect to th... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System That’s what I love about this hobby….it’s about the synergy among components, the room, and your tastes. You don’t need a million dollars for it to sound great! | |
| DH Labs I’ve used their interconnect and power cord cable for diy projects with amazing results for the price. Good products! | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Also what I have heard and read, I agree with several in this post that It’s all about the “good” distortion that tubes produce. Pleasing to the ear. | |
| Nobosound Springs I use them under a vintage AR XA I restored, they seem to do a nice job. I’ve experimented with the number of springs for each foot, but settled on all of them. Seems to be more stable laterally. | |
| Streamer Recommendation. +1 @hilde45 , that’s why I’d stick to a bluos node….modify it and your network from there with a linear power supply and fiber at the nodes connection. I also agree with @blisshifi on a orbit mesh system. Best you can get right now. Good luck. | |
| Best sounding CD player +1 @soix separate dac and transport, will get you well into the future. | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? If they ask….and about cables, I might tell them what one costs, otherwise most people can’t wrap their heads round what these systems costs. Neither can I sometimes😀 | |
| New Dennis Had amps Love it! Makes me want to put on some Robin Trower! | |
| Am I Getting Soft Here? As once was said in song. “Love the one your with” Enjoy, that’s what it’s all about! | |
| Solid state to tube I agree with the posters here who say audition a tube system. I use a tubed preamp in my main system. My other vintage systems are mostly tubes which I enjoy. It’s a big jump to all tubes so take it carefully. Consider that tubes wear out and they... | |
| Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? My subscription seems to be ok. | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live As an audiophile, I’m not sure we’re going for a system that sounds “live”. I think what we are trying to achieve is “sound stage” and “detail” for starters. There’s a lot more variables associated with the venue with a live sound and I’ve never h... |
