| Local network HiRes storage and player Oh, and don't forget a backup device. I back up my NAS manually with separate USB drives. | |
| Local network HiRes storage and player Eversolo has a new model coming out, the T8, with up to 16TB storage. If you like the Eversolo environment you might consider that. That said, any home cloud device will do. | |
| Anyone use a 5687 with adapter in place of a 6922/6DJ8/7308/6N23P? Heater current aside, the 5687 is a drastically different tube, with half the gain of a 6922 and designed to run at much higher current. I can't imagine it would be a suitable drop-in for a 6922. There's no way to calculate how it would operate ... | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions Years ago we had Maggies, and my wife loved the seamless soudstage but the bass was not super. When a friend offered me his ProAc Response 2's we found they threw the same seamless image but with better bass. We've had them ever since, about 25 ... | |
| The Cable Company advice? @soix FWIW I bought a Snake River Boomslang digital cable and I absolutely love it. I'm eager to try some of his interconnects and speaker cables--when I have some extra money. ;-) @ghdprentice I've been helping a musician friend rebuild his... | |
| My last rodeo @soix Those are great recommendations, IMO. ;-) A friend of mine, a professional musician, heard the small Acoras in Tampa last year and was blown away. The video online is very alluring, even if it can't convey everything about them. I've al... | |
| Help identifying mystery amp I don't know where you're located, but it would be a good idea to have someone knowledgeable about single-ended triode amps take a look at it before you start sticking tubes in it. As someone else mentioned, it could be intended for a 300b, a 2A3... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please @goodlistening64 Maybe. Apple Classical was something else, I forget what, but it was a highly curated project and Apple seems to have maintained that kept that. Qobuz, Tidal and Spotify seem to be vying to cover everything. I listen to class... | |
| Thoughts on DAC option Sounds like you've already made some progress. I'll just say that I love my Chord Qutest, but I have an all-tube system and I was looking for a "faster" DAC than the tube-output Doge 7 I had before. | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please FWIW, I second your concerns about music disappearing from streaming services. It's happened to me. If there's an album I particularly cherish, I purchased it. I have a NAS already set up so storage isn't a problem, but you've gotten some good ... | |
| Walk-in soundstage I heard it at a friend's house years ago. He had a nicely-proportioned room with minimal treatment, a pair of Nesterovich speakers and 40 watt tube monoblocks he built himself. The Nesties were placed almost at the halfway point of the room. Th... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? I built SE amps for years--2A3, 300B, 845--because I could. ;-) No feedback, no 'scope needed, just crasm in as many expensive parts as you could and eventually you could get pretty good sound. But having developed the skills to build a really g... | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs I've been having this problem too. I have an Ian Canada streamer and a Chord Qutest, fed by a Mac Mini running Audirvana. I've tried different playback engines (MPD, Squeezelite etc), Minimserver, and numerous other configurations but the proble... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? This is a very fun thread. ;-) | |
| Buying used from Canada @jasonbourne71 You got that right. |
