| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables Nordost is amazing. My experience has been with their interconnects. My Valhalla’s both analog and digital, are one of the most complex, and startling interconnects that I have ever hear in my system. My congratulations on your Odins! Truly amazin... | |
| Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner? I have the same Shunyata power conditioners that you have and love them. They are truly transformative in my system. I get micro details and sound stage width and depth in spades. Hear details I’ve never heard before from seemingly from everywhere... | |
| Disappointing short life of NOS preamp tube I hope I get seven years from all my NOS tubes….. | |
| Shunyata Sigma V2 vs Synergistic Research Atmosphere level 3 I use all shunyata! My fav. | |
| Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains. I think the whole situation has been great for tube sales, especially Russian tubes. That’s sad. | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. | |
| Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy My father bought an onkyo receiver in the early seventies, nice looks and sound. Sad to hear this. Somehow I thought that NAD owned them, but not really sure. Scotty to see some of theses brands go. I wish them luck. | |
| Are Tube Buffers for real or even worth it ? That’s like “dabbling” in the tube world. I started that way. When I liked what I heard I invested in a tube preamp. Like @russ69 recommends. Think of it as the “gateway drug” to the tube audio experience. | |
| Question about speaker angle I also have Tannoys and have them towed in. I have them placed about 18 -20 ft apart. I get an amazingly wide sound stage. | |

Whether that be lean, more bass, midrange, muddled, shrill, etc etc. Then as you go up the line on a c... | |
| Almost equality Congratulations, enjoy your rig! That’s what this is all about. | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Joe Jackson, Body and Soul 45rpm 12 in vinyl. Amazing sound stage. I believe It was recorded in a Masonic lodge, and you can definitely hear and experience the venue. Breathtaking! | |
| Why is used audio equipment so undesirable? I buy used all the time. A no brainer on saving money. Markups on some products are really high and buying used makes sense. Your not the one taking the hit on depreciation. | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects I’ve never bought audiophile cables on Amazon…. | |
| Better sound on rainy days? @mitchb I’ll have to admin I do agree! Also, never test drive a car on a rainy day. They drive smoother a quieter. I know that has nothing to do with why our audio systems sound on a rainy day but was the only analogy that came to mind. interestin... |
