| DAC recommendations My issue with the Bricasti is the streaming. I have Apple Music and it does not support it. I would have to jump over to Qobuz. Not the end of the world but not optimal. Just spoke to a dealer today regarding the m3. It does seem to check most of ... | |
| DAC recommendations I forgot to add and I don’t think it’s a measurable quality, soundstage. It’s okay with the Topping but I’d prefer a wider, deeper soundstage with a bit more instrument separation. 👍 | |
| DAC recommendations Cool. Thank you. Not familiar with that company. Will look into. | |
| When were the best tube amps made? I recently purchased a Roma el34 push pull as my first tube amp. I’m on the Decware list and purchased the Roma as a temporary amp. I owned a ss Rotel amp and preamp, Velodyne sub and used both AR10’s and B&W speakers for 25 years. Had the Rom... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? Thanks atmashere. I read some in the beginning and a couple towards the end. I will go back and reread the entire thread. Have a good weekend. 👍 | |
| When were the best tube amps made? But do they sound better. I’ve ridden old Harley’s and recently owned a new Road King Special. There is no comparison that the new is a better bike, which doesn’t even come close to my BMW 1250GS. I like vintage stuff too but it doesn’t mean it’s ... | |

| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Thanks markustheaimnut and ghdprentice. I have looked at the Takatsuki tubes and may give them a try next. of course the failed tube right out of the gate happens to the newbie! Lol. Good to get it out of the way and now I know what to listen for... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Btw, so wonderful to have that dead silence again. Awesome | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Thanks Aric and thanks for your patience with a newbie! I will give them a clean up like you suggested and try them again. If the static continues I’ll let you know and we can swap them out. I am going to purchase a few new pairs of various tubes ... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Had my first hiccup tube amp experience this week. Had a bit of static with slight pops creep in during startup, which diminished but didn’t disappear during play. Changed 4 of 6;tubes during the week and no change. Replaced the last 2, Sylvania c... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Thank you decooney. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I purchased a pair of these tubes and look forward to comparing them to the Hytron tubes I have in there now. Linlai seems to get good reviews. I hope that these have good longevity, considering the price, which I don't mind paying if they a quali... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Thanks for the link. I already discovered boomy and liquid are different than I thought. 👍 |
