| Puritan PSM156 recommendation @pinwa "it is simply very time consuming to swap 5 cords" How so? | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup @ghdprentice Regarding AR in general, and the I50 specfically it seems like a downside is that you supposedly can't bias these amps yourself and are required to have a tech do the work. That may be fine if you have one in your locale but not opt... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup Had a Cronus a number of years back, even with NOS preamp tubes it just sound solid state to me; may have been the KT90s power tubes which it came with at that time . Maybe consider looking into the lineups of Line Magnetic , Trafomatic and Final... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @no_regrets Don, really nice system . Enjoy the Mojo and Jay's. If you want to try the AES/EBU connection PM me over on WhatBestForum I have a Mojo AES/EBU cable that I'd be happy to send/give you if you like . WBF PM allows "freer" flow of con... | |
| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES Tung Sol did make VT231s | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp What preamp did you purchased? Maybe consider getting the lower gain NOS 5751 , they are more expensive than your under $100 price point, but it might be worth giving Brent Jessee a call he does have GE 5751 premium at $110 a pair , or GE 5751 gre... | |
| Physical degradation of CD's Never falls, someone asks a question about CDs and someone else just has to interject streaming into the conversation. | |
| WILLSENTON R35i Integrated Amp : A Standby question Just run the amp without using the remote and keep the remote out of the room, if the red light doesn't appear than you know it's the remote at issue | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 "Interesting that you were able to change the sound of the Aero with different tubes.I believe Michael Lavorgna at Twittering Machines was planning to post a Part 2 to his Aero review after trying some tube rolling." I'd find it intere... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @chrispua you aren't going to get a response as noted on prior page the Op has been suspended by Audiogon | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) @nonoise Interesting your experience with ZeroSurge I have one in each of my 2 audio systems as well as one with my main TV and there's no etch or restraints on sound etc. | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC @no_regrets - I can'y give you the whys and wherefores as to why transports may have optimized outputs but for instance my SimAudio 260DT is optimized for AES/EBU. I got that 1st hand from SimAudio. I also read that for instance the top of the lin... | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) Correct me if I am wrong but aren't Tripp Lite MOV based suppressors> If so they aren't optimal for protecting audio equipment and going for non-sacrificial suppressors such as ZeroSurge, Brickwall and SurgeX are preferable. | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) @whart +1 on ZeroSurge. Similarly Brickwall or SurgeX @zlone You're correct even if you have whole home surge protection (I do) the electricians still advise other surge protection at the equipment. I've had lightning strikes powerful enoug... | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC @glennewdick No question that the DAC is more important however if you have had a decent transport and then swapped in a better transport the impact is quite noticeable and shouldn’t be discounted |
